After earning a degree in environmental policy from Colby College, conducting research in D.C., and farming in Colorado, she returned to the Upper Valley to pursue a career in agriculture.

Greenhouse Supervisor & Cultivation Manager

Jamie began working at the farm in the late 1980's and he’s still at it! He’s a key part of our spring greenhouse crew, expertly transplanting flowers, plants and starts, and spends summers on the tractor cultivating everything from lettuce to pumpkins. When he’s not farming, Jamie plays bass for local band The Conniption Fits.

Post Mills Farm Stand Manager

Cora started at Crossroad Farm in 2026. She grew up in Orford, NH and spent her summer breaks working in a local farmstand and running their farmer’s market operations. She developed an understanding of how significant small farms are in creating a robust local food system and came to Crossroad Farm to be a bigger part of that process. She loves sharing the joy of fresh fruit and produce with our community.

Norwich Farm Stand Manager

Karen has lived in Thetford since 1982 and has enjoyed Crossroad veggies for as long as she can remember. Karen began working for Killdeer Farm at the Norwich farm stand in 2008 and joined Crossroad when we purchased the stand in 2017. We sure are grateful that she did! She finds great joy in sharing the very best of Vermont's vegetables and fruits with our community.

Greenhouse Team Lead

Pang is originally from northern Thailand and grew up in an agricultural family. She moved to Thetford, VT, in the summer of 2019 and joined the Crossroads team in 2020. Spending long, hot, sunny days on the farm reminds her of her childhood and cultural roots in Thailand, making her work feel both meaningful and familiar. Outside of the farm, She enjoys spending time with her family, visiting local fairs, farmers markets, hiking and travelling.
