Career Change

by Kate Szrom | Coaches Coburn Dukehart and Ann Silvio

Lou and Merby Lego farm 100 acres of land northwest of Skaneateles. They haven't always been farmers. In their previous lives Lou was an engineer and Merby was a dietitian. They loved working their land and growing food in their spare time. Nearly 15 years ago they decided to quit their jobs and do it full-time. They both work on different parts of the farm each day, bringing in fruits and vegetables for their country store and restaurant. It's hard work, but they are enjoying their lifestyle and their life together.
