Jennifer Schmehl was pulled to Gravity Hill Farm in 2010 after experiencing four fruitful growing seasons as the Crew Leader/Farm Manager at New Morning Farm in Hustontown, Pennsylvania. Previous to her time at New Morning Farm, she served in Nicaragua as an Agricultural and Food Security Extensionist for the Peace Corps. She was raised in rural Berks County, Pennsylvania, where she learned how to weed at a very young age, along side of her three siblings and parents. Jennifer enjoys all things crafty and any jingle that she can kick her heels up to. Her greatest joy though, is getting folks excited about their food and their local farmers.

Sean McDermott joined Gravity Hill Farm in early 2010, returning to his native New Jersey after a 13-year stint as a Pennsylvanian. He spent most of his youth in nearby Hunterdon County, growing vegetables recreationally from the age of 14. Diverse interests and experience in music, cooking, pottery, and of course organic farming led him via a roundabout route to remote southern central PA, where he spent 10 years working and learning in all aspects of a sustainable farming community. This experience culminated with a position managing a large organic farm with his partner, Jennifer, who he met "out there" in central PA. Together they share a passion for being outside, producing the highest quality food, and connecting people to the flavors, nutrition, and experience of eating produce grown close to home. He has come to view farming as a hugely important profession, too vital to be trusted to unfeeling corporate entities; and farmers themselves a population endangered and in need of rejuvenation.
