Lincoln Hill grew up on the farm, and has found inspiration living with the land. Growing vegetables for farmer’s markets and running a CSA created a strong connection with the source of our food. After studying anthropology in Montreal, he embarked on multi year journey to visit organic farms, alternative communities and natural areas around the world. Some adventures included cycling across Australia and building and living on a tiny houseboat in British Columbia. He now hopes to bring these experiences to life for others and grow Open Farmhouse into a groundbreaking space to live, work and create.
