Ben helps plan and design meaningful and educational events for our community.
Ben’s introduction to Pasa was at our 2016 Sustainable Agriculture Conference. He returned as a volunteer every year before officially joining the team in 2023. Ben grew up wandering around in his grandparent’s orchard, helping out with chores, and tending to the market stand. His love of plants and wildlife grew into a passion for diverse ecosystems and nutrient dense foods. He has small-scale production experience with various fruits, specialty cut flowers, salad greens, and micro greens. Before entering the agriculture field (pun intended), Ben earned a bachelor’s degree in music education and spent time working as a substitute teacher and as a percussion instructor for marching bands.
Ben loves to explore the woods and mountains of Central Pennsylvania. He can be found fly fishing in the state’s beautiful streams and rivers all year round. Ben also enjoys hiking, camping, and napping in the shade on a sunny day.
