At The Farmer Ken, we're more than a farm — we're a movement rooted in food equity, education, health, and community empowerment. Our work spans across the local food system, from fresh produce and eggs to handcrafted bakery goods, herbal blends, and educational programs. We believe that everyone deserves access to fresh, nutritious food and the knowledge to grow it themselves.

If you're passionate about making a real difference in people's lives and communities, we’d love to hear from you.

Our Core Values

  • Food Equity & Access

    We believe that fresh, nutritious food is a right — not a privilege. The Farmer Ken is committed to increasing access to farm-fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and herbs in underserved communities. Through local sourcing and community partnerships, we work to close the gap where fresh produce is limited or unavailable.

    Join us in cultivating a food system where everyone has access to the nourishment they deserve.

  • Garden Education & Empowerment

    Gardening is a life skill that fosters independence, sustainability, and joy. Through hands-on learning, workshops, and curriculum development, we empower individuals and families — especially youth — to reclaim the art and science of growing their own food.

    Help us plant the seeds of knowledge that will nourish generations to come.

  • Health, Nutrition & Community Wellness

    We understand that health begins with what’s on your plate. Our work connects the dots between growing food, understanding nutrition, and building healthier communities. Through farm-to-table initiatives, educational programs, and community engagement, we help others see the joy and wellness that come from growing and eating real food.

    Be part of a movement that connects health, happiness, and homegrown goodness.
