FARM Staff - Mary Baker, Lead Teacher/Farmer

Mary BakerHi. My name is Mary O’Neill-Baker and I am happy to introduce myself as part the FARM Institute staff. I began at the FARM as a volunteer two years ago and quickly became enamored with the place. Between the friendly staff, the variety of animals and this special piece of property next to South Beach, I couldn’t think of another place I would rather spend my time.

Having grown up in New York City, I am a complete novice with regards to knowing what is involved in running a farm. But I consider myself a lifelong learner and with the incredible enthusiasm, knowledge and support of the FARM staff I know I will continue to grow. I have spent many years in education as a special education teacher and speech/language pathologist. I love introducing young children to the farm and getting them started early in their appreciation of the land and our animal friends. On the farm, I have also had the opportunity to explore and develop my other new interest which is photography. Things like this just seem to happen on Martha’s Vineyard—a special place in itself.
