Meet the Farmer
Steve is a former Army officer and combat veteran that served in the Army from 2001-2010. He is a Rutgers University Alumni and has served in various roles for the Federal Government.
Steve has also completed the Veterans to Farmers program in Denver, Colorado which helps Veterans assimilate effectively, productively and permanently into private citizenry by training them in various types of agricultural practices and typically leads to careers in farming or business ownership.
“During the pandemic I started to realized the lack of fresh, local produce on the shelves and it was frustrating. So I started to research ways to produce food in urban areas.”
“Technological Advances have changed the way we can produce food. Controlled Environment Agriculture is changing the way that farming has been traditionally practiced. In urban areas, it is essential to providing healthy, year round sustainable food options for areas with high populations.”

Meet Kisha
Kisha is excited to team up with her siblings at UFS. She is passionate about growing fresh produce for our communities in South Jersey and beyond. Kisha started her career as a teacher for over 5 years, but her journey took a turn into the world of acting, where she shines as an award-winning actress and can be seen in hit shows like "Manifest" and "You."
Kisha is also a proud plant mom. Her home has over 30 houseplants, each one adding a bit of green joy to her life. When her brother Steve shared the UFS mission, it was a no-brainer - combining her love for plants with a cause close to her heart.
Got greens? Kisha sure does, and she's ready to make a difference with UFS!
