Lis Stumpf
Hometown: New Hyde Park, NY
Lis was born and raised in Queens and started farming in 2021. You’ll mostly find them on the farm, either in the field, fiddling around with something broken, or lying in one of the beach loungers. They enjoy looking at the sky, searching for fish in Barton, staying up to date with celebrity gossip, and being in their car.

Would you rather be 10 centimeters tall or 10 feet tall?

She/Her
Kimila Lee Miller
Hometown: New York, NY
Kimila grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and moved to Austin in 2022 to follow the love of her life. She is by no means a farmer, and handles the administrative and financial end of the business. Part-cheerleader and part-consigliere, Kim’s goal is to “get Hot Spell super poppin’.” If you’ve ever emailed the business, the two of you may have even conversed. In her free time, Kim can be found buying liters of carbonated water, going on long walks, and listening to the same 5 French Montana songs.
