Venson Shih has joined the Stearns Farm crew as our new IT director and Webmaster.

New to Stearns Farm, Venson spent two decades as the IT Director for non-profit organizations including the American Heart Association and the Appalachian Mountain Club. A Sudbury resident, he is currently an independent technology consultant working with non-profits, small businesses and individuals.

Over the past few years, he has built raised beds to grow organic vegetables. “I have enjoyed the harvest of fresh organic vegetables, so I am excited be joining the Stearns Farm team!”
