        Laurie Sykes became                            an organic farmer                        after she inherited land from her grandfather.


        She had to study farming on her own before she could produce                                                                       her first small crop                      .



        After starting small at the local farmers’ market, her business grew over the next two years                                                                                     .



        until many people wanted her produce all over the state. She now sells her fruits and


        vegetables  to local organic markets                                      and restaurants. People prefer her produce to that of



        mammoth farms because it tastes better and is                                                       organically grown                        . She hopes to


                 expand her farm                             soon and produce even more.
