Kimball left city life behind and, with her new husband (who adopted her surname), took on the immense job of starting and running a 500-acre CSA near Lake Champlain, known as Essex Farm. She was surprised how deeply the hands-on work appealed to her, soon concluding that “Humans are hard-wired to be agrarians.” She also fell quickly in love with the “wingnut,” who had grown up in New Paltz, the son of environmental educator Ann Guenther and “Farmer Dan” Guenther, co-founder of several local CSAs including Phillies Bridge Farm in Gardiner, the Poughkeepsie Farm Project and Brook Farm in New Paltz.
