Born and raised in Portland, OR, Ian worked on and managed organic farms in Vermont, Argentina, Hawaii, and California before coming home to roost. He received an Advanced Certificate in Ecological Horticulture at UC Santa Cruz in 2010 and went on to manage 18 acres of organic vegetables at 47th Avenue Farm, one of Portland’s oldest CSA farms, growing food for over 200 Portland area families. He started Portland Edible Gardens in 2013 and has never looked back.
