Know Your Farmers: Garden Window Farm increases bio-diversity in Denton
After years of working in restaurants and retail management he knew he wanted to start his own business. Due to low start up costs and his passion for great food he started a food truck business. His menu relied on high quality ingredients and focused on simplicity that allowed the ingredients to shine. He wanted to source his ingredients locally however it became very difficult. Small farms were hard to come by in the area of Colorado where he and his wife resided at the time, this caused him to become interested in what it would take to grow his own ingredients. “I had a little experience with gardening from helping my mom and grandma in the garden when I was a kid, but I knew I had a lot I needed to learn,” he says.
