Zack Nisbet
Zack was in the Army National Guard. After his service, he went to Clemson University to study Plant and Environmental Sciences. While at Clemson he focused on learning techniques to increase the viability of small-scale food production systems. He believes the key component of any small-scale production system is a hard-working farmer. Retired veterans make some of the best hardworking farmers. Zack's goal is to help veterans learn how to be farmers and sow as much life as possible in all its many forms. This mission brought him to Project Victory Gardens, where one becomes many. Please feel free to contact him at ourfoodfreedom@gmail.com with any food production questions.
