About the Farmers

Kjersten Oudman

Kjersten was studying wildlife management when she realized she was far more excited about soil and plants. She has worked at a plant nursery, a vineyard in South Dakota, a vegetable farm in Texas, and agriculture development non-profits in Minnesota and California. Most recently, though she dreamed of growing veggies in the field, Kjersten had to be content with growing fungi in a lab at Michigan State University while studying for her Master’s degree in crop diseases. Kjersten is weirdly fascinated with all of the soil fungi and bacteria that help veggies grow and succeed.

Dirk Oudman

Dirk studied Political Science in college but quickly realized he was not suited for a desk job. A passion for food security led Dirk from the desk to an urban garden in Washington, D.C. where he grew his first crop of kale. After getting bit by the veggie bug, he worked on farms in Indiana, Texas, and Michigan, learning and asking questions all the way. Dirk is obsessed with growing fantastic salad greens. His favorite thing to hear at farmer’s market is: “Your salad mix was the best I’ve ever had”.
