Every farm has a founder, many farms have boards of directors, but no other farm will ever have a John. During the farm’s early days, John could be found in the fields on his hands and knees seven days a week, or making countless food pantry deliveries in the back of his own vehicle. He was the driving force behind our fundraising efforts, our mission’s most passionate advocate, and the person who always encouraged us to do more, to do it better, and to help feed as many people as possible.

His energy was contagious and his vision was simple: that everyone in our community should have access to fresh, nutritious food.
