Erin Dempsey

Erin is a passionate foodie, herbalist in training, artist and animal lover. Hailing from Chicago and later transplanted to NYC, she once swore she’d never leave the city life behind — but, luckily, life had other plans. She is grateful to share with others the transformative beauty of nature, cultivate the bountiful riches and flavors of this land, and to be the best shepherd she can possibly be.

Embracing the Lessons of Winter

By Erin Dempsey

2023 marks the second full year that I’ve been at Sky Meadow as a caretaker. One of the most rewarding aspects so far, for me, has been getting to know the various plants and trees of the land in all their different seasonal forms. It’s a bit cliché but only because it’s true — nature is …
