Episode 183: Tyler Henderson

This week’s young farmer is Tyler Henderson. As Farm Manager at Growing Places Indy, Tyler oversees all aspects of our farming operation as well as the educational components of our Summer Apprenticeship Program related to agricultural systems and food entrepreneurship. Tyler began his urban farming work in 2009 by creating micro-garden sites at restaurants in Indianapolis and then worked as a farmer for Big City Farms for two seasons. Like many farmers, Tyler has an off-farm job and is the Director of North American and North European Operations for the Bocconi University School of Management in Milan, Italy. In late fall and early spring, he travels extensively in North America, Asia and Europe to interview candidates for a Global MBA Program. Tyler has master’s degree in Education Policy from University of Oslo (Norway) and wrote his masters thesis in Tampere (Finland) and Aveiro (Portugal). This episode was sponsored by Edwards VA Ham.
