Ellen Gray Gregory is the owner and head farmer at Full Swing Farm, a small production farm in the Round Mountain Community of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Before putting down roots in Northwest Arkansas, Ellen Gray lived in Asheville, North Carolina a mountain town teeming with small organic farms and a creative food scene. The local food culture in Asheville as well as her background in sustainability ignited her interest in farming. Ellen Gray sees small scale farming as an opportunity to build local food systems, create stronger community ties and work with the natural rhythms of the season. Ellen Gray also loves farming for its ability to put us in proximity to beauty, something she sees as an innate human need.

In 2021, Ellen Gray and her husband moved to Fayetteville and Ellen Gray began working for a nonprofit farm, first apprenticing and later managing 1.5 acres of intensive vegetable production. In her inaugural season at Full Swing, Ellen Gray will have a quarter acre of field grown vegetables and cut flowers. Find her at the Downtown Bentonville Market on Saturdays or sign up for the CSA to receive a weekly share of the harvest.
