Gabriel Hahn
Water Systems Manager
Gabriel loves connecting himself and others to the innumerable joys and wonders brought to us by the living world, and is captivated by moving water and everything that grows. He began working in organic vegetable production in 2007 and soon found himself living on permaculture farms in Ecuador and Peru, catalyzing a passion to use water responsibly, localize the food system, and live more communally with people and land. In 2012, Gabriel started and managed Seeds of Hope Farm in Spanish Lake, MO, where for 5 years he honed a focus on increased access to and education around local, healthy food. Looking to expand his working knowledge of plants and integrated living systems, he then spent two years at Brambleberry Farm in Southern Indiana. As Water Systems Manager, Gabriel oversees design and implementation of water management and retention systems.
Dane Intagliata
foodscaper
Dane's first experience with farming was as an apprentice at Earthdance farm in 2017. At the end of the apprenticeship, he moved to the Big Island of Hawaii where he worked on a plethora of farms. He supported a variety of operations, ranging from tropical fruit, to coffee, to cacao. After a few years he found himself studying tropical agroforestry with a mentor in the field, and eventually helped to complete a first round of curriculum on the topic. The curriculum project included designing and installing a food forest which lives on to this day. Dane is interested in all things permaculture, organic farming, agroforestry, and regenerative living. He recently completed his permaculture design certificate from Oregon State University - a long-time goal.
