Jack Richardson
Jack planted his first melon patch at 9 at his parents farm. It wasn't successful. but each year he tried again, until he had developed a consistent approach that yielded a successful crop every year. Jack has continued growing fruits and vegetables at his family's organic farm in Oregon for over 15 years.
He has trialed and grown thousands of varieties. Jack has also honed his craft growing healthy organic transplants for the production farming system, and is excited to grow exceptional quality plants for you too.
