Stacey Apple

Stacey began her full time farming career summer 2019. Before farming Stacey was a chef and cooked professionally for seven years. Her path as a cook began while living in Boston when she landed her first job at Craigie on Main in Cambridge. When she and Alex decided to leave the city she started working summers at The Market Restaurant at Lobster Cove in Annisquam with Nico and Amelia Monday.  Luckily Nico and Amelia decided to start another restaurant that would be open year round….enter Short and Main. Stacey dedicated over five years working at Short and Main. It was here that she learned how important the tie between farm and food actually was. The menu at both of these restaurants was fluid and adjusted to what was ordered directly that week from the local farms. It was at this time that Alex was working at these exact farms. There was a sense of excitement and deep connection when Stacey and Alex would talk veggies and menu planning!

Stacey still loves to cook and plans to spend more time creating dinners and meals at the farm. Stacey is inspired everyday by the talent of the farmers who are her friends. She is also so thankful to be loved so generously by her family, especially her big sister Lindsey, her baby boy Sebastian and her pup Clifford.
