For 15 years, Colin has been dedicated to organic food cultivation. His farming journey began in the Midwest before he moved to the West Coast in 2003 to focus on garden-based environmental education. In 2007, he founded the Seattle Urban Farm Company, aiming to leverage his horticultural and agricultural expertise to help aspiring growers bring their projects to life. Over the past seven years, he has guided hundreds of urban farmers in designing, building, and managing their edible landscapes, emphasizing cohesion and meticulous attention to detail for unique and successful outcomes. He is committed to creating environmentally responsible and enduring garden elements, utilizing quality materials and locally adapted plants to ensure their long-term health and beauty. Colin excels at pioneering new ideas and empowering city dwellers to enjoy the rewards of local food production, believing that sustainable urban agriculture fosters healthy diets, environmental stewardship, stronger communities, and an improved quality of life. He hopes that developing economically viable urban farming ventures will raise public awareness of agricultural issues and cultivate greater appreciation for farmers everywhere.
