Since 2018, SG Groat (they/she) has been providing timely, honest and affordable service and repair work and teaching farmers how to operate and maintain equipment.

Over the past 17 years of farming, making compost, and teaching adults and kids, SG developed skills in operating and fixing farm equipment. Though SG used to travel the Hudson Valley and repair equipment, they've found they are most joyous when teaching.  SG has been fine-tuning their Tractor Operation, Tractor Repair & Maintenance, and Small Engines workshops for several years and has traveled across the Northeast to train farmers on the function, safety,  and service of their equipment.  In 2021, SG worked with the Hudson Valley Farm Hub to create curriculum for and co-lead a 10-day Farm Mechanic Basics course for farmers to learn how to repair and maintain their own equipment.  SG continues to teach the Farm Mechanic Basics course every winter. Throughout their work, they strive to make mechanical information more accessible to everyone, especially Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, people of color, women and non-binary folks.  SG is based in Greenwich, New York.
