Bob Comis grew up in a shopping mall in a suburb of Syracuse, New York, playing video games and eating fast food. In his late twenties, he woke up to the unfortunate reality of the industrial food system, especially factory farms.

After losing fifteen pounds in his short three-month stint as a very unsuccessful vegan, Bob realized that he could move to the country with his horse-loving wife and start raising his own animals for slaughter, making sure that they were raised and killed humanely and ecologically.

After five years of farming, Bob is so taken with it that he hopes someday to be able to do it full-time.

Also an avid writer, Bob has been blogging his adventures and ideas about farming in an effort to share the farming life and generate discussion about what a local-regional farming and food system might look like.

Currently Bob is raising heritage breed pigs and lamb for us.
