About this Video
Chris Wellington farms at Muddy Roots Farm in Wallingford, Connecticut, where he grows vegetables and raises pasture-raised poultry and pork, which he sells through a CSA and direct to customers. Chris graduated from NCAT’s Armed to Farm training program, which helps veterans become farmers and ranchers.
In this series, we spotlight some of the farmers and ranchers NCAT supports. They raise fruit, vegetables, flowers, and animals on farms and urban gardens from New Hampshire to Kentucky, on operations that range in size from less than an acre to more than 40 acres. But these differences mean very little. They share a commitment to stewarding the land and serving their communities, and we are proud to partner with them.
