Mark Rehder, owner of Geyser Farm, holds a degree in agriculture and has been farming for nearly 20 years. He supplies the Bozeman Community Food Co-op with a large assortment of produce, including garlic, onions, beets, kale, winter squash and cucumbers. While Geyser Farm is not certified organic, Mark follows organic growing procedures in all parts of his operations. Geyser Farm strives to be a sustainable business in every way: they grow diversified crops, practice crop rotation, sell all of their produce within 30 miles of the farm, donate food to charitable organizations and deliver produce on the day in was harvested.

Mark has also started a non-profit, called Farms for Families, that promotes independent, local food systems. Their mission is to build healthy communities by growing local food systems. Check out their website: http://www.farmsforfamilies.org/
