Chuck Currie + Marie Kaziunas

Chuck manages the farm, grain & compost production and our livestock. He has farmed for over 15 years and has taught many workshops on organic, regenerative farming in New England.

Chuck studied biochemistry and chemistry for two years at UMass Amherst before taking a sustainable agriculture course, visiting a small farm run by someone not much older than him, and instantly realizing he had wanted to be a farmer his entire life. After completing a B.S. in Plant, Soil, and Insect Science in 2005, he worked at Red Fire Farm in Granby, MA for three years before starting his own farm in Vermont. After four years farming in Vermont, Chuck moved back to Southeastern Massachusetts with the goal of providing equal access to good food in more urban communities, and to be closer to family and friends. He started Freedom Food Farm in 2012 on leased land in Johnston, RI and began leasing the farm in Raynham, MA in 2014. 

Marie co-manages the farm, grows medicinal herbs & flowers and helps care for our livestock health using holistic farming practices.

Marie worked in public health for over six years specifically with marginalized, undeserved populations before transitioning to agriculture. Her connection to farming and the local food system in New England began through volunteering with a refugee organization by connecting them to farmers’ markets in Rhode Island in 2010 and at Freedom Food Farm starting from the beginning in 2012. She’s been working at the farm since 2014 and the move to Massachusetts.

We also get seasonal help every year & have part-time team members that help the farm thrive. (LIST SOME OF THE OR ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY HELP OUT ON THE FARM)
