After studying Agribusiness Management, Russell moved back to Austin and
soon found work on several organic farms. While he gained much valuable and
unforgettable experiences, he is not on the farm anymore. However, his passion
surrounding plants and agriculture has not left him. Cover crops and perennial
food crops are of particular interest to him; as TreeFolks’ Urban Orchard
Coordinator he is able to pursue these interests. When not working, you will likely
find him volunteering with non-profits, appreciating his community garden plot
and home orchard; or not find him at all as he enjoys escaping into Austin’s many
green spaces.
