Rafaela A. Crevoshay - aka “Rafa” (Soil Health Guru) was introduced to food gardening as a volunteer on her brother’s homesteading project in Vermont’s North East Kingdom in the transformative ’60s. Rafa’s Vermont adventure led her to obtain a degree in Horticulture from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. It resulted in finding a career far from New England with sojourns at mushroom farms in Oregon and California, international agri-sourcing for a west coast avocado cooperative, a leading sustainable farming certification firm in Berkeley, and ultimately with a producer of organically grown Heirloom Tomatoes in Baja California, Mexico. Along the way Rafa completed certifications in Compost Management, Turf Management, and International Agriculture. She has earned the elite Certified Crop Adviser title from the American Society of Agronomy. Raised not on a farm but in suburban Boston, her story represents the rewards of gardening as a life-long journey of discovery.
