Lead Grower at Growing Solutions Farm

Tucker joined Urban Autism Solutions as the Lead Grower of Growing Solutions Farm in fall 2018. He works closely with young adults with autism and related disabilities from Chicago Public Schools, Easter Seals, and UAS residents at the farm, providing vocational programming on customer service, food safety, principled agriculture, and environmental stewardship.
