Faces of the Farm
Greg Glenn – Manager
Growing up in nearby Bethesda, Greg and his family moved to the farm in 2003. During his time at Virginia Tech, Greg developed a passion for farming and local food systems. He studied small business agriculture and regional food systems, was actively involved in the local food system in Blacksburg, VA, and spent time in Kenya and South Africa where he became fascinated with holistic agriculture. After graduating with a degree in Agriculture Economics, he worked and trained in various social programs, such as resettled refugee training, and took the first steps to what would become Rocklands Farm. Greg enjoys small engines, good conversation, sauces, and is married to the lovely Anna Joy Glenn.
