Bonton Farms Director was so impressed with her dedication when it came to volunteering at the farm, so much so, he asked her if she would consider working for the farm.  Kimberly hesitated a bit but went on to join the farm.  An opportunity to work for Paul Quinn Farm(We/Me Farm) was later presented to Kimberly of which was the former football field. Kim was excited about taking part in providing members of the Highland Hills communities and students with fresh organic produce from the Farm so that they too could improve or maintain good health. She has now started a community farm in the community of Joppa where she grew up. She is presently working to build a farm at the Meadows Foundation (Wilson) community.

Her motto is; she will not stop farming until everyone has a garden in their backyard.
