After being an active CSA and FSC member for more than a decade, Sheryl Rome has officially joined the team at Stout Oak Farm
Sheryl was born in New York and grew up in the tristate area. She studied Fashion Merchandising at F.I.T. in New York City, and began her career over thirty years ago with the Ann Taylor management training program which lead to future retail management, design, and wholesale positions. Sheryl and her family have been part of the Exeter community for the past 19 years. Her family includes her husband Mark, his two adult children, and her two adult daughters. The newest addition to her crew is Magnolia Mae, aka Maggie the Golden Retriever.
When she’s not on the farm, Sheryl’s perfect day includes a long bike ride along the coast, a great cup of coffee, taking her pup for a walk, and cooking a delicious meal with Stout Oak vegetables (most likely soup to be enjoyed with a loaf of crusty sourdough bread).
Sheryl started out as a CSA member of Willow Pond Community Farm and has followed Kate’s path all the way to Stout Oak. She felt Kate’s passion for farming rub off on her and always enjoys being outside and having her hands in the soil. But most importantly, Sheryl has a genuine love of connecting with customers, sharing recipes, meeting friends and family, and sharing in the excitement of a CSA pick up.
So next time you see Sheryl, don’t hesitate to strike up a conversation!
