After multiple attempts to get my foot in the door at Cincinnati Magazine (full confession: those attempts date back to my arrival in Cincinnati more than 20 years ago as a newlywed looking for her first big-girl job in journalism), I finally did it. I bylined a super-short piece on Finn Meadows Farm and its proprietors, the young farmers Marc and Claire Luff. Here’s a snippet:
Co-owner Marc Luff, 27, returned to Cincinnati after graduating from Harvard and started an unfulfilling job search. “I was in a rut, looking for jobs, not being satisfied,” he says. His mom told him he had to do something, so he took a job working on a farm. And loved it. After a stint at Turner Farm in Indian Hill, he learned the 200-acre Montgomery property was available for lease. He and Claire Godschalk, herself a back-to-the-Earth recent college grad who worked at Turner, talked it over and decided to stake their own claim to the farming life. They were married on the farm (the name is a nod to Huck Finn) last summer.
