Ben grew up in Westford, Vermont, before leaving to attend Ithaca College in upstate New York. After graduating with a degree in sport management, Ben spent several years working in his field and travelling the world.

 

After returning to Vermont, Ben discovered a passion for agriculture while working at a fruit and vegetable farm in Montpelier. Ben's interest in farming has led him to assist on kiwi farms and sheep stations in New Zealand, and gardening projects in Europe and South America.

When he's not on the farm or in the garden, Ben is an avid runner, hiker, and backpacker. You are likely to see him out on the trails in Vermont.
