Ken's background in farming began in 1981 with an apprenticeship at the UC Santa Cruz Farm and Garden Project, where he studied all aspects of organic French intensive market gardening. In 1985 he founded and developed a mixed vegetable market farm in Liberty, Maine, with the help of his family and seasonal staff. Over the next ten years, High Ridge Farm became known for regular deliveries of specialty lettuces, greens, and a full line of quality produce of all kinds to stores and restaurants in Mid Coast Maine to as far away as Portland and Boston.

Ken has worked with commercial growers at Johnny's Selected Seeds since March of 1999. He has observed the evolution of small organic farms struggling on the fringe to the era of locally grown, organic produce being appreciated in the mainstream. He likes to stay current with successful market farming techniques, trends in consumer interest, and the best varieties of vegetables, herbs, and flowers available.
