Farmers: Greg Glenn, Shawn Eubank, and Nick Wilson

Who We Are:

Bios: Greg Glenn (a.k.a Grubby) Our fearless farm manager has lived on the farm since his family moved here in 2004. He attended Virginia Tech and earned a degree in Agricultural Economics, while developing a passion for the land. Upon finishing his degree in 2009, he spent several months in Washington state and Mexico as part of a discipleship training program. He came back home to Maryland and began sculpting our business plan. When not driving our tractor, he can be found playing guitar or fixing his moped. Favorite Veggie: Walla Walla Sweets Shawn Eubank (a.k.a Big Smeag) Our bright assistant manager and produce specialist is originally from Virginia Beach. During his time at Virginia Tech, Shawn received a degree in Finance and cooked at a local Cajan restaurant. He could be found most Saturdays at the Blacksburg Farmers Market selling produce. After graduation in 09’, Shawn spent six months in Peru working with a church and learning about micro-financing. He joined the farm in February. When not planting our seeds and raising newly tilled beds, he can be found endlessly reading Hokie sports articles. Favorite Veggie: Purple Cherokee Tomatoes Nick Wilson (a.k.a Wheels) Our creative assistant manager and construction foreman grew up in New Mexico although he calls Maryland home. His five years in the College of Architecture at Virginia Tech has given him a wide range of design experiences and a love for making things. After a short stint on the farm this past summer building a stone wall and patio, he interned with Engineering Ministries International in their Costa Rica office. Returning in December to Maryland he found a difficult economy but a unique opportunity to put his creativity to use on the farm. When not shoring up the barn or developing the website, he rides his bike and finds time to paint. Favorite Veggie: Butternut Squashhttp://emiworld.org/http://emiworld.org/shapeimage_4_link_0shapeimage_4_link_1
