Eat Fire Farm is an artist partnership rooted in Nantucket soil.

Dylan is a painter, finding art in everything he touches—from the garden beds he designs to the wood-fired feasts he creates through Eat Fire Pizza. Caroline is a ceramist with a soft spot for flowers and a mind for design, organization, and the quiet math of growing a business. Together, we share a love of working with our hands, feeding people well, and tending to the land.

Dylan is a true Nantucket native. He has been gardening since high school, spent years as a landscaper & designer, and started his first plot near Eat Fire Spring—which gave this farm its name. Caroline came to Nantucket as an infant and has spent every summer of her life here, settling down year-round in 2012.

Dylan and Caroline met at the Community Farm Institute. What began as a shared passion became a partnership, and what started as a romantic interest blossomed into a life built together.

We grow on land that was once Mount Vernon Farm, now protected by the Nantucket Island Land Bank. In 2022, we officially registered Eat Fire Farm—though in many ways, this work had been growing for years.

When our daughter Rosemary was born, something shifted. We planted more flowers. We invested in the beauty of it all. Now three years old, she's already at home among the rows.

We raise American Guinea Hogs for pasture-raised pork, harvest sea salt from island waters, grow cut flowers and perennial produce, and tend bees for honey. Everything we do is rooted in regenerative practices—caring for the soil, the animals, and the ecosystem that sustains us all.

This is our life's work: to be stewards of the land, to grow beautiful flowers, and to make beautiful food.
