Terry first got into farming after college when he started to volunteer on a farm and has worked in farms ever since. In 2019 Terry joined New Entry’s incubator program where he started Hungry Heart. Some specialty and niche crops that Hungry Heart grows a diverse selection of hot peppers as well as honey nut squash. Aside from vegetables Hungry Heart also grows flowers and they offer their products to food hubs, distributors, non-profits, schools, farm stores, and florists. Hungry Heart is still largely a hand-powered farm besides the initial tillage of field and bed preparation. For weed control Hungry Heart Farm uses mulch, flame weeders, and tarps, as well as lots of hoeing and hand weeding. They aim for efficiency, neatness, and simplicity with their systems.

Hungry Heart Farm uses organically approved sprays, naturally derived fertilizers, cover crops, crop rotation, and otherwise grows following organic practices. In addition, we use reduced tillage methods whenever possible to maintain and, over time, improve the quality of our soil.
