About Melissa...

Raised in the suburbs and trained in physical therapy, my journey in farming began twenty+ years ago when I married my husband and business partner, Drew. Raising our three daughters on our family farm has been adventure! Drew's contagious love of agriculture first brought us to create Willow Creek Orchards back in 2002, and then in 2018 inspired me to establish WCFP.

I love raising sheep and growing flowers...being out on the farm is my happy place! And our wool mill journey has just begun...learning the art of transforming our fiber into yarn is a rewarding challenge. I hold a Master of Physical Therapy degree from Ithaca College and an M.B.A. from the University of Scranton.

Favorite veggie…Roasted Brussel sprouts with sea salt and bacon. Favorite book… “Grit” by Angela Duckworth. Outside of work…I enjoy a lazy morning with a big cup of coffee and spending time with family and friends either biking or hiking. Fun fact… I had a dog growing up, but never thought I would have 180+ animals!
