Finding a Niche of Their Own




Marissa Mullett and her daughter Marin

The Keene Creek Farm name might be fairly new in the community, but its owners are not.
Rowdi and Marissa Mullett, 1999 graduates of River View and Ridgewood high schools, moved back to the area and bought their home and farmland in late 2008.

On their 3 acres, which includes a greenhouse built by Rowdi, the couple is raising produce that is not commonly found in farmers markets in the community, such as toi choi, a popular green in Asian cuisine; eight ball zucchini which is good for grilling; sweet peas, a Victorian flower, and more. 

Although not certified organic, Keene Creek Farm is chemical free. The couple try to be eco-friendly when it comes to watering the garden as they use water collected in a rain barrel next to the chicken coop.
