| Introduction | Hi, My name is Eric Barth. I was born in Virginia, but lived 15 years with my family in Oak Brook, IL. before coming to Polyface in October 2010. The second born of 10 children, I was home-educated and always enjoyed outdoor physical work. During high school, my brother and I started a landscape maintenance business and continued it for several seasons before I started my Polyface apprenticeship. I have always had an interest in agriculture because of my family's commitment to wellness and my father's agricultural heritage. As my knowledge about the decline in our nation's food system deepened, I had a growing desire to produce and offer wholesome food to those interested in an alternative to commercial farming. I am is excited to see how God will use this opportunity to prepare me to be a future "lunatic farmer" who can give customers the best food possible. After a one year apprenticeship, I am now full time staff and excited to be part of the Polyface mission. |
