Russo's Roots is a place where we can share our passion for farming, education and the environment, as well as try out new techniques, new resources and as always - some cool new crops!  

James is a first generation farmer who at a young age started working on farms in the Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts. Whether it was spending his summers picking cucumbers or picking off tomato horn worms he always had a keen interest in how plants grow. After graduating from the University of Massachusetts James worked on farms in the Hudson Valley and then on Long Island where he partnered with another farmer and ran a successful 65 acre, 2000 member CSA for 11 years. Ready for his own land and new opportunities, James and Libby purchased the farm that is now Russo's Roots LLC in the winter of 2014.
