After graduating with a degree in communications from Towson University, Candice recently moved back to her hometown of La Plata, MD. She has a strong passion for sustainable and organic agriculture and honestly thinks there’s no greater feeling than growing her own food. She is excited for this opportunity to be able to learn while working at the Ecosystem Farm this season.
