Adventures in Eating from a Local Colorado Food System
Ben grew up on an organic farm in Maine in the 1970s – he’s cooked and eaten organic food since childhood. Ben lives in Longmont with his wife Mary. The two created a quarter acre urban food forest in Old Town Longmont. In 2022, they helped to found Waves of Grain, a regenerative Farm-to-Family food coop in Front Range Colorado. In 2023, Ben left a long career in the tech sector to start growing food again in Boulder County.
