| The photo is of our home on the farm, hand built by family and friends over
20 years ago. Lee Roversi and her three children, Sky, Nell and Bay, are the creative forces behind the farm and its businesses. They are committed to the conscious intention behind the founding of North Country Farms. |

The mom,
Lee, is dedicated to her children and to
helping facilitate their untraditional education and life paths in a heartfelt way, providing a special experience to the guests on the farm, creative writing, tending the vegetables and fruits and her yoga practice. Recently having rediscovered her love of travel, Lee dreams of more trips to new places and some familiar ones too! |
The children are . . .
Sky, 25 years old-- a musician and scholar of history and languages. Sky has taken to travel and has had some wonderful world adventures in the past few years.
Recently he has returned to Kauai after a time living in Santa Fe, New Mexico working in Waldorf pre-school there. Back here now, he is tutoring a few homeschooled children and saving money for some more
expansive travels.
While here, Sky is always involved in
some farm project which has lain dormant while he is away.

Nell is 21 -- a creative, dramatic soul who really loves music, theater, journaling, and, most recently, cooking and exploring the limitless world of food.
In particular, the farm to table concept has caught her interest.
A recent trip to Europe with Sky solidified that interest and Nell has relocated to Seattle to attend the Art Institute in their
international culinary arts program. Her passions are
sustainability and fine foods--an wonderful combination!
Bay is 17 years old - he is happiest surfing, skateboarding, playing soccer, dirt biking, scuba diving, juggling,
snowboarding, playing frisbee -- always in motion and usually
with friends! He might also be found filming and editing;
perhaps playing his guitar, or providing music for parties with
his new disc jockey business, his latest passion. It is no
surprise that he, too, has picked up this family's fervor for
global adventure and has been on some amazing jaunts himself. To
fuel that, he works here at a local restaurant and in landscape
maintenance. The farm's stellar grounds are part of his
repertoire.
All of the children attended our local Waldorf elementary school. Deciding to bring them home to continue their educational life path in a largely self-directed way has been a source of great growth, discovery and joy for our family. Each of us is grateful for each other and our lives in paradise!
This farm is a combination of intensely beautiful nature and fine people with sterling intention. I have been so fortunate over the years to work this land with people who care. People who have helped me create the feeling of grace that pervades this farm. People with positive attitude, coupled with a solid work ethic. |

Working on the farm in this tradition is Andrew Gorton (left).
Raised in Seattle, Andrew has a strong sense of sustainability
and a marvelous sense of humor--a great combination for our
farm. New to the farm and originally from Arkansas are Sarah
Mariah and
John Chapman (right). They bring to us a delightful fresh
perspective and worlds of contagious enthusiasm and energy. We are thrilled
to work with them! |
