Yiasoo Sophia!
Our newest, and youngest, farmhand, Sophia takes a well deserved break in the Shed.
Every once in while, fate brings two complementary forces together. That happened recently when Sophia first visited Yankee Street. You can just feel the young-farmer enthusiasm coming off her. The perfect vibe for everything we stand for. We are delighted to have her on the team. Welcome to the farm-hood.
Let's get to know her a little better with these random questions.
