Chris Sayer

Biography

About the author

Chris grew up working on Petty Ranch, his family's farm that he now manages. In between his stints in “farm labor” and “management”, he studied at Northwestern University, married the best woman in the world, flew anti-submarine aircraft in the US Navy, raised two great sons, recruited executives for Silicon Valley start-ups, and learned that produce in the grocery store is just never, ever as good as what you grow yourself.

Agricultural sustainability is a daunting challenge. Only visible in hindsight, sustainability continually presents new challenges to our systems of food and farming. It is a process, not a result. The trick to sustainability isn’t knowing exactly what to do; mankind has never known that. The trick is asking the right questions in the face of change and looking for leadership in the right places.
