I am Michael Crocker Sr and this is Mr. Mom Garden's. This farm was established in 2024 after life threw in one of its twists. I grew up in Reisterstown, MD skateboarding and having a mostly normal childhood. After high school I joined the Marine Corps. After my enlistment had ended I went to college and received a degree in finance with the aspirations of setting people up for retirement. When college had finished I went on to be married to my wife, Carly, move to Westminster, MD, and have four children, Virginia, Michael Jr, Ziggy, and Juniper.

With my wife in healthcare and when COVID went down it became that I was now a stay-at-home father. This is where I started to look at food differently now that I was the one, personally, feeding the kids.

This led me down a rabbit hole to where I am today! Farming and wanting to build our local community. I saw the power of 'good' processed food not only physically but also mentally. I grow organically with regenerative techniques finding the true power which lies in nature and is available – abundantly – to all.

But I also saw that I am one person who can only do so much so I want to partner with other local farmers and it is an honor to do so. You will be able to taste the difference but more importantly know your local farmer.
