About Who Cooks For You Farm
Chris and Aeros have both been growing food for many years. Chris has worked on organic farms in eastern Pennsylvania and the surrounding area. Aeros has worked on organic and biodynamic farms in California and across Europe. We founded Who Cooks For You Farm in 2009 in the rolling hills of Western Pa on Aeros’ family farm. The fields once grazed by herds of sheep now have been tilled and prepared to grow vegetables.
We are convinced that the integrity of the food we grow is interrelated with the integrity of our surrounding environment. To elevate that integrity, we use compost and cover crops to enrich and protect the soil. We use organic practices and crop rotations to encourage healthy soil systems, beneficial insects and pollinators. We offer people a sense of place through our CSA and farmers markets by connecting people with locally grown foods and give them the unique opportunity to steward their own bioregion. We believe food is the foundation upon which healthy communities thrive, both human and non-human, and so, we are committed to growing the highest quality vegetables, fruits and herbs.
Aeros Lillstrom is at home on the earth with her hands in the soil. Growing up on the farm, and then leaving it to “find” herself amidst studies of art, herbalism and gardening she knew that there was no place like home to settle and pursue a life of farming. After meeting Chris, she knew she met her life partner to create what has become, Who Cooks For You Farm.
Chris Brittenburg grew up in Bethlehem, Pa. He went on to college and then traveled about in the US and elsewhere. Approaching his 30’s and needing a profession, he decided farming was the air under his wing. With a few years farming under his belt, he met Aeros at a farming conference, fell head over heels and set up to farm on Aeros’ family farm.
