Erin Meding Grows a Farm

“I did not grow up in a farming family. I grew up in a small town in the Midwest…there's no one in my family that has ever farmed. I'm pretty sure most of my siblings think I'm crazy.”

Erin and Charles Meding purchased their 27 acre slice of heaven in 2008 and raised their now grown children in the Sunapee Region of NH. They transformed a run down little ranch (900 square feet) into their current farmhouse, built a 3 story barn and established too many gardens to count.  They currently have horses, Nigerian dwarf does, chickens, cats and dogs.  They grow and preserve a large amount of their food and a good portion of herbs for their apothecary and business, Divided Sky Farm Botanicals (under Divided Sky Farm, LLC). They  currently sell their herbal products at Farmer's Markets and Erin teaches herbalism classes on the farm.
