I’m a botanist and organic farmer, and I’ve spent the last decade learning how to grow food in a way that’s practical, beautiful, and good for the earth. After studying botany and environmental studies at Connecticut College, I worked on organic farms across the U.S. (including time at Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture) and later helped families build and care for gardens in the Chicago area. Somewhere along the way, I realized the part I loved most wasn’t big agriculture — it was small-scale gardens at home. The kind where kids pull the first carrot of the season with glee and adults go, “Wait… we grew this?!” I’m good at turning the “science-y” parts (sun, soil, timing, pests) into simple, doable steps — so you feel confident, not overwhelmed. Now I’m back home in New Jersey, helping families and organizations grow food where they live. My work is grounded in a bigger “why,” too: growing at home helps shrink food waste, shortens the supply chain, brings people outside, and turns little patches of lawn into spaces that support biodiversity. I also serve as Chair of my local Environmental Commission, so climate education and community impact are part of my everyday life — and I bring that energy into every garden I help build. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c4791d1dffe3679eaeb7e3/9dcb150a-5a44-4f4a-aa92-adf874326c45/IMG_1599.jpeg https://www.twistedrootorganics.com/services daily 0.75 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c4791d1dffe3679eaeb7e3/329358ba-74cf-4a27-aceb-e154763c74bb/No-name_Brzyski-2025_2.jpeg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c4791d1dffe3679eaeb7e3/b6d0a858-e89d-4e3a-9a5e-a8956df72e51/No-name_Greenfield_map-2025.jpeg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c4791d1dffe3679eaeb7e3/b24ad2e5-98e7-4887-b431-0cf0a69996fd/No-name_Pelson-2025-map.jpeg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c4791d1dffe3679eaeb7e3/cc8d04ee-e182-45c3-bae4-92836e971363/No-name_HudsonHill_2025-Map+%281%29.jpeg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c4791d1dffe3679eaeb7e3/da3ab909-5769-4ce1-9f31-fce5fdec16cc/No-name_Greenfield_map-2025.jpeg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c4791d1dffe3679eaeb7e3/902ff7d1-f787-4ddb-b2c9-23a2e9041057/No-name_Diehl-2025.jpeg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c4791d1dffe3679eaeb7e3/45bc295b-5181-4964-9a8a-08ed31084b0e/Brzyski-Lesson.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c4791d1dffe3679eaeb7e3/81052acd-8b5d-4eca-9038-4986c4870445/IMG_0800.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c4791d1dffe3679eaeb7e3/151507f3-82d7-437a-83c3-a87a777c4481/image-asset.png Services https://www.twistedrootorganics.com/portfolio daily 0.75 2026-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62c4791d1dffe3679eaeb7e3/711e2aa6-01d9-4375-9407-2cb71682777c/IMG_9974.jpg Portfolio Coaching families who want to grow their own food.
