As a child Woody gave tours of his parent’s backyard vegetable garden and ate blueberries off the bush. Woody gained his growing experience at Penn State and as Farm Manager at Tait Farm Foods, an organic CSA in State College, PA. At Tait Farm, Woody grew for 100 people through the summer and 40 through the winter season. Woody is bringing productive commercial agricultural techniques to the home; enabling efficient home vegetable production. His goal is to make home food production a commonplace activity. |
