Experience details
I don't have any formal agricultural training but I come from an agricultural family. My father worked for a large pesticide company in Greensboro and I've been growing vegetables in my own garden since I was 10 years old. My family has a farm in Maryland and I spent a lot of time there helping my grandfather grow tomatoes, peaches, and watermelons for the Annapolis Farmers Market. I live in Carrboro now and I don't have space to grow anything and I am missing it!
