ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR

Josh Sturdevant started his career in agriculture working on a small organic farm in 2008 and was instantly hooked. He obtained a degree in ag business management and horticulture from West Virginia University and continued to work on various farms in Maryland and West Virginia until moving to Washington in 2016 and joining Oxbow’s agriculture production team. In his spare time he enjoys working in his home garden, fly fishing, backpacking and just generally enjoying the natural beauty that we are lucky enough to have in our backyard.
