Ansel Bachman
Co-Owner
Ansel started Patriot Farms back in 2015 when he first purchased the farm property. Prior to farming, Ansel worked as a land surveyor, but quickly became fascinated with permaculture and all the magic it offers! Ansel’s vision for a sustainable lifestyle has fueled the growth of Patriot Farms, and the farm would not be where it is if it wasn’t for Ansel’s hard work and passion! Usually Ansel can be found doing any of the following on the farm: chainsawing, permaculture design, carpentry, building greenhouses, pruning tomatoes, innovating new ways to become more efficient, and just about a million other things. In the slight chance that Ansel isn’t at the farm, he can be found out hiking, cooking, or enjoying time with his friends!
Brittany J.P. Bachman
Co-Owner
Having grown up in the suburbs of New Jersey, Brittany always felt a curiosity about nature. Being far removed from where her food came from, in 2015 Brittany set off to explore farming. Since then she has worked on various different farms, and successfully completed Welding School in 2018. Shortly after finishing school, Brittany became a co-owner of Patriot Farms, and has jumped in to all aspects of homesteading, market gardening, and raising livestock! Currently, Brittany is studying herbalism, and hopes to incorporate more holistic healing into her work.
