Our Story
We are Polly Muradas Harrington and Kris Harrington of Two Girls and a Farm.
What drives us is our appreciation for our land and the
blessings that are so plentifully provided when we work it
responsibly. We are inspired by nature.
The feeling of observing the natural process of life, and trying to copy it as much as possible, motivates us. The soil doesn’t just feed our bodies, but also our souls. The miracle of life... that sacred constant change of nature... is our teacher. This land represents our chance to touch people’s lives through delicious, nutritious and sustainably grown produce.
At Two Girls and A Farm we produce crops without relying on chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilizers and we raise animals with care and respect. We recognize real change comes from small actions. We take small actions every day to plant seeds for a beautiful tomorrow.
Farmer Polly
Polly brings passion, energy and commitment to everything she does on the farm.
Farmer Polly was born and raised in Minas Gerais, Brazil, a place she will always call home. From a young age, Polly connected with nature in a very special way. Being in Brazil, this was both a challenge and a privilege. She had the opportunity to enjoy and learn from nature, creating a deeper respect and appreciation for it.
During her time in university she had a unique opportunity to study permaculture and very quickly fell in love with the ethics and design principles (earth care, people care and fair share) that forever changed her perspective. The beauty found within the ideas surrounding sustainability and permanent life, altered the way she sees the world and lives her life. In 2009, she moved to Peru where she studied gastronomy and it was inside the school, Le Cordon Bleu, that she learned the skills to combine French technique with good food to bring the ideas of farm to table to life.
In 2012, she moved to Wisconsin and found her tribe working with Victory Garden Initiative, a nonprofit organization bringing communities together to create a socially just food system for all. In 2015 when Polly and Kris first stepped foot on the land now named Two Girls and A Farm, Polly was convinced the south facing property was the perfect place to build a food forest and begin her service to the local surrounding community.
Farmer Kris
Kris believes every day on the farm is an experiment teaching the values of humility, respect and love.
Farmer Kris was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. While she was a city girl, each summer she spent time with her grandparents in rural Shell Lake, WI. It was here that she learned to love and appreciate nature. Picking wild raspberries and blackberries and eating fresh vegetables straight from grandma’s garden were a favorite childhood activity.
Kris studied business at Marquette University and in her professional career had a unique privilege to travel the world. It was during her travel and eighteen months living in Brazil that she met Polly.
It was always Kris’ dream to own a piece of land that would re-create her childhood memories spent with her grandparents. In 2015, Polly and Kris found a beautiful location in Vernon, WI where their dream to become farmers began.
