Robert Schubert
Robert’s interest in growing fresh, healthy, affordable food began during a trip to the highlands of Guatemala to report on the growth of fair trade coffee, fruits and vegetables for his master’s degree in journalism from the University of Colorado in Boulder.
Armed with his master’s degree, Robert came to work in Washington, DC for two non-profits that develop educational and informational programs to advocate on behalf of renewable energy, sustainable farming, clean water and safe food. He also began volunteering at farms in Maryland and looking for his own piece of land, a search that culminated in his purchase of 10 acres from Chip and Susan Planck’s Wheatland Vegetable Farms.
