Daniela Aldrich discovered her love for farming while attending Dickinson College in Pennsylvania, where she began volunteering on the school’s farm during her freshman year. After the conclusion of her junior year, she worked on a farm for the summer, then spent a year in Brazil on a small settlement learning from farmers of the Movement of Rural Farmers. After graduating in 2019, she moved to Massachusetts to start her own farm, Dancing Harvest, with the help of New Entry at Moraine Farm.

“Having the infrastructure that New Entry has is huge. It’s nice to have the space and tools because it leaves more room for experimentation,” Daniela says. She started her own CSA in 2022, and it is doing quite well.
