Urban Farmer

From a small beginning back in 2008, founder Noah Herron, at the age of 25 started Urban Farmer in a small farmhouse in Indiana. Gardening and seed saving were not new to Herron. From a small age in Indiana his grandfather would grow a large garden every year. “We liked to walk through the garden and check on the plants whenever we visited. He had to be careful or risk a stern warning from grandpa. Growing up we would always have fresh vegetables from the garden”. Later on in life, Herron majored in biochemistry at Indiana University. After graduation he worked at Eli Lilly for several years as an analytical chemist. While working Herron would always find joy in coming home and working in his own garden. One fall after a large harvest of vegetables he decided to try his hand at saving the seeds from some of his favorite plants. Little did he know what path this would lead to.
