My current job is with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) whose job is to implement the conservation work of the United States Department of Agriculture. We cover a lot of areas in agriculture and to do this I have had to learn new skills. I have honed those skills and learned the methods of farming in a more environmental friendly system than what I was taught and practiced in my farming past.
Protecting the environment and growing healthy food for America are now my farming goals. It is my intention to take the knowledge gained from over 30 years of farming plus my 15 years of work with the NRCS and apply that to growing a variety of healthy fruit in Maryland. We have named our endeavor Kings Berries. Our plan is to feature blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and other fruit that will be available pick-your-own or pre-packaged.
