Meet the Farmers
Alex Caskey
Alex is at the farm full-time and the primary farmer at BOB. Despite promising Audrey he would never farm, they both finally accepted his fate when he realized that farming was the best way to combine his passion for land management with his desire to collaborate professionally with kingdoms Animalia, Plantae, and Fungi. His approach to farming is influenced by his academic background in conservation biology and food systems sustainability. He holds a B.A. in Environmental Science & Art from Goshen College and an M.S. in Agriculture, Food & Environment with a concentration in GIS and spatial analysis from Tufts University. When not working around the farm, Alex is most likely to be found in the ceramics studio, on a mountain bike trail, or fishing a local stream. He is also an avid IU Basketball and Liverpool FC fan.

Audrey Crocker
Audrey is a full-time physician assistant (PA) and helps out around the farm on some of her days off. Her favorite farm-related tasks include spring seeding & tree planting, grooming the Great Pyrenees livestock guardian dogs and giving them plenty of scratches, and tending to the perennial garden beds around the farmstead. When she isn’t at work or busy on the farm, you’re most likely to find her traversing a local trail by foot, mountain bike, or ski depending on the season, often with pointer pup Zomba alongside.
