Experience details
I graduated from Morrisville State College with a Bachelors of Technology in Horticulture - Food Crops in 2013. While I was attending school I worked full time on an organic produce farm. For my internship I did my own farm where I planned, operated and managed a 4 acre organically grown produce farm that included various tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, melons, pumpkins, snap peas. I was selling to natural food markets, chefs and wholesale. This led to an interest in cooking so I went to school for culinary arts at Johnson and Wales in Denver and have been working in restaurants ever since and have become proficient in Neapolitan wood fired pizza. I would like to start a farm to pizza busines
