Green Wagon Farm
All Roads Lead to Farm
Farm owners Chad and Heather both grew up in West Michigan. Chad was raised on a small hobby farm with a few cattle, pigs and horses; Heather, in the Creston neighborhood of Grand Rapids. Chad went on to graduate from Baylor, University in Texas with a degree in Entrepreneurship, while Heather pursued a degree in Nursing at Calvin College in Grand Rapids.
It wasn’t until Chad spent time as a volunteer with the Peace Corps in 2009 that he realized his passion for growing food–and until Heather met Chad that she really began cultivating her passion for cooking.
Chad Anderson
Running long distance and digging large holes are two of Chad’s favorite pastimes. He studied business at Baylor and farmed in Uganda and for Groundswell before starting Green Wagon in 2010. Chad dreams in perennials, black walnut forests, and teams of oxen. Work is his love language, and the potato is his spirit vegetable.
Heater Anderson
Heather is a woman of force and of fine art. She is a mother of four small farmers, as well as the resident farm chef, market master, and co-head hauncho. She holds a degree in culinary excellence from the Secchia Institute. Her spirit vegetable is the Shishito Pepper.
