About the blogger

Betsey McCall grew up on Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, went to college in Vermont, and moved to Brooklyn. Her grandmother grew up on a dairy farm in Lexington, Virginia, and her grandfather raised cows and chickens on his farm in Alabama. She started Brooklyn Farmer in July 2008 after meeting some of the farmers at the Grand Army Plaza farmers market. Betsey lives in Cobble Hill with her husband Jonathan who does a good job biking up the hill to Grand Army Plaza every Saturday even though his bike doesn’t have any gears.
