Tucker was born and raised on Cedar Rock Farm in West Gloucester. His working career has always involved hands-on outdoor labor, split between farming and different trades. In 2013, he graduated from the Stockbridge School of Agriculture at UMass Amherst with a degree in Fruit and Vegetable Crop Production. Over the course of the last ten years he has apprenticed on many farms around the country and world. Throughout his travels he has always been drawn back to Cape Ann, and in 2009, finally accepted that there is no other place that he would rather settle. In 2010, he started working alongside Noah Kellerman building and managing the Alprilla Farm CSA (a vegetable farm in Essex, MA). As a partner in the business for the 2011 and 2012 growing seasons, he grew grain, hay, flowers, herbs, and over 60 types of vegetables for market. Tucker is thrilled to be working with other disciplines to train up future farmers while working to build a more profitable, sustainable, engaging local food system.
