Full Circle

DESCRIPTION
Alexa and Jacob Newton wake up before sunrise every morning to complete their daily chores – ones that help to feed more than 250 families in Central New York.

The Newtons believe their sustainable approach to farming can be the norm, just as it was when Alexa’s family originally purchased Hillside Farms in 1941. They hope their commitment to producing food, which Jacob refers to as the “building block of life,” can leave a lasting impact on the people they serve.
