Alumni Spotlight: Aidan & Natasha Feeney

Aidan and Natasha have been farming together since 2010. They met in Northern Vermont while attending Sterling College, where both earned degrees in Sustainable Agriculture. As students, they worked on the Sterling Farm, immersing themselves in the daily rhythms of the land. For her Senior Year Research Project (SYRP), Natasha designed and cultivated her own cut flower garden, blending creativity with hands-on agricultural practice.

Aidan worked extensively in the gardens and quickly became known as someone you could count on for anything — mowing, weeding, hauling vegetable orders to the kitchen — and for always thinking ahead to the next task before the current one was finished.

After graduating, Aidan went on to manage farms in New York’s Hudson Valley and on Long Island, working at a range of scales and within diverse marketing models. Natasha worked alongside him while also pursuing her education to become a registered nurse and operating her own CSA on leased land.

In 2019, they moved to Nantucket, where Aidan grew up, to start their own operation, Fog Town Farm. Thanks to the efforts of Sustainable Nantucket and The Nantucket Land Bank, they were able to lease land to start their new farm venture. Since that time, Fog Town Farm has continued to grow and evolve. Currently, Aidan works full time on the farm and Natasha works "part-time" while also working at Nantucket Cottage Hospital as a nurse practitioner. Aidan and Natasha find farming endlessly interesting, they derive great satisfaction from creating meaningful work for employees and growing food for their neighbors.  They specialize in growing salad crops, root vegetables, tomatoes and numerous other seasonal vegetables. They say growing beautiful produce and working hand in hand with nature is their passion.
