MELISSA DENMARK

Farmer

When she's not bunching carrots or harvesting edible flowers, she's probably baking bread or making ice cream. Melissa has been immersed in the food scene for over a decade. As the executive pastry chef of Ellie's and Gracie's in Providence, Melissa has proudly created sweets using New England's bounty, often growing and foraging for her ingredients. It has been her life goal to connect further with the ingredients she works with by starting a farm. 

JORDAN GOLDSMITH

Farmer

Jordan fell in love with the seasons as she helped her parents grow a vegetable garden as a young child. This abundant source of fresh fruits and vegetables inspired her to pursue a career as a chef. She worked in the industry at restaurants in the Providence, RI area for many years until she left to seek a deeper understanding of the food system. The beginning of Moonrose Farm marks the beginning of a dream for Jordan & Melissa to use their culinary and agricultural skills to provide wholesome food for our community.

JAX

Trusty Farm Dog

Jax patrols the gardens, and makes sure no smell goes undiscovered. You can probably find him doing tricks for a tasty carrot slice or taking a nap in the shade under the truck.
