About Triple Green Jade Farm.

Located in the scenic town of Willsboro, NY, on the Boquet River, Triple Green Jade Farm is part working farm, part wood-fired bakery, part bread school—and 100% committed to regenerating land, nourishing community, and reimagining what local food can look like. They specialize in naturally leavened sourdough, grown with love, baked with intention, and served with a side of wit.

Dan and Kimmy transformed a derelict farmstead into a beacon of rural creativity—and now, they’re inviting others into the fold by launching a cooperative model built for the long haul.

Tune in if you:

Love the smell of fresh bread and want to hear the story behind it
Think rural resilience is more than just a buzzword
Are curious about cooperative farming, teaching bread workshops, or just want to be inspired by someone who’s doing the work
