Nice to meet you!
Magnolia Tebbetts
Born and raised in North Haven, CT, Magnolia had no exposure to farming until a summer job after high school. Over the last 10 years, Magnolia has farmed in many places - Shelton, CT/Bronx, NY/New Haven, CT/Manhattan, NY/Brooklyn, NY/ & Edgartown, MA. After a few years of urban farming in NYC, she realized she missed the soil and transitioned back to traditional farmland. Now back in North Haven, CT, Magnolia is excited to put her experience to work to feed the local community.
Matthew Federico
Born and raised in Cheshire, CT, Matthew found his love for growing food as a young adult in college. After spending time working for a Danish tech startup down in NYC in the Financial District, Matthew moved back home and began working as a greenhouse manager for an indoor hydroponic farm. Working in hydroponics opened up his mind to being able to feed the community year round with fresh greens, microgreens & edible flowers.
ROSEWATER FARM & FLORAL
ROSEWATER FARM & FLORAL
Matthew & Magnolia met in NYC while working at the Union Square Greenmarket, despite the fact that they grew up in neighboring towns. From the day they met they knew that one of the things they had in common was feeding their community with fresh and nutrient dense food. Rosewater Farm & Floral LLC was created in 2023 when they decided to put their minds together and build their dream farm. Thank you for supporting us!
