Earls Kitchen Gardens

Elizabeth Ann Rexer Leonard (a.k.a EARL) grew up in Huntington, Long Island. She spent her high school years working on her brother’s organic vegetable and poultry farm. Later when she went to college in Rhode Island, she found herself once again yearning to get her hands dirty. She began working for Greenview Farm in Wakefield, RI.  Over EARL’s four year stay at Greenview, she gained integral knowledge in the practice of organic growing methods.
