Farming ContributorDavid (Dave) Kozlowski, along with his wife Sandy Raduenz, owns and operates Pinehold Gardens, an organic produce farm in Oak Creek, Wis. The pair left their full-time office careers in their 40’s to pursue farming. They have offered a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program since 1994 and became owners of Pinehold in 2004. The farm also serves the community through restaurants and farm markets.
Dave not only loves growing fresh quality food, but also works to educate members and nonmembers on sustainable food and energy issues and illustrate the importance of community in our food system. He’s motivated by the opportunity to make the world just a little better.
