The Niederer family has been connected to the land of Hopewell Valley for over 100 years. In 2010, Jess Niederer continued this legacy when she started Chickadee Creek Farm. Join us on the farm for a talk exploring her family’s involvement in Hopewell’s agricultural past and present. A farm tour and Q&A will follow.

Jess Niederer graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Natural Resources. After stints in conservation biology, ornithology, disaster relief, and development work, Jess realized that she wanted to be the next generation of Niederer farmers and started Chickadee Creek in 2010. Along with her team, Jess grows certified organic vegetables, flowers and herbs on her family farm with an eye to sustainability and community-based agriculture.
