About me
For the past twelve years, Max has been working in agriculture in Western Colorado both as former owner of Outlier Farm in Mancos and now as a Research Associate at the CSU Western Colorado Research Center at Rogers Mesa. Throughout his career he has learned that growing food in the high desert is a labor of love that requires innovation, collaboration, and diversification. Many of his most profound moments along this journey have been collaborating with local organizations in everything from providing subsidized CSA shares to community members in need, to helping start a farmer-owned garlic seed cooperative. In his current role, Max is pursuing new ways to help organic producers in the Intermountain West by managing relevant research projects while also providing outreach via workshops and demonstrations.
