Chris has loved growing food from the minute he visited his great Aunts farm in Worksop. After a career in marketing and radio, he took this passion to a new level starting Urban Farming in the Southampton area before going all-in on a small scale farm in East Sussex. After 3 years and over 4500 veg boxes grown and delivered, Chris and his wife had a little girl (Clemmie) and decided to move back closer to family in Southampton. Chris has taken the skills he learnt growing food and put them into an online learning platform teaching people how to grow food called The Food Grower Academy... And takes his knowledge of running veg box schemes, marketing, branding, and retail experience to the Hampshire Veg Box Team... Plus he is looking forward to an exciting return to the Winchester area as he went to school, college and lived here for years.
