Meet Our Team

Lisa MacDougall

Picture

Owner/Farmer

​Lisa graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a Bachelors of Science in Plant, Soil and Insect Sciences. While in school and after graduation Lisa worked on a variety of organic farms in Amherst, MA, where she gained a lot of experience before Mighty Food.  Lisa loves working with the farm crew in the fields, harvesting just about anything, driving the farm draft horse team (Malcolm and Red, see their bios below!), crop planning, working with soil, and engaging with customers.  When not farming (which is rare), Lisa is an avid runner, hiker, cross-country skier, and spending time with her dogs, Clover and Violet.  You can sometimes catch a glimpse of Lisa at the farm, but she is usually out in the fields or in a greenhouse.

Red will do anything for an apple and is a self proclaimed "work-alcoholic." We love their gentle demeanor, work ethics, and ability to get work done with their only fuel being hay and fresh water.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"I've been a huge fan of Mighty Food Farm since I joined their CSA three years ago. Mighty Food Farm provides an abundant supply of delicious, nutritious vegetables right through February. Unlike many other CSA's, MFF members are able to pick and choose from a wide variety of vegetables each week. My health improved dramatically when I began to get most of my food from MFF. I highly recommend membership in their CSA!"
