Ben Zimmerman, Board Member
Ben Zimmerman is a Hood River valley native who ventured away from the Gorge after high school but eventually returned to establish roots of his own. A founding member of Gorge Grown, Ben first learned farm scale gardening working for Dancing Moon Farm in Hood River and now owns Small i Farm in Snowden, Washington. Small i provides produce to local markets and restaurants, particularly 10-Speed East Coffee House in Mosier that Ben co-owns. Ben believes in a future for the Gorge where most of our food travels less than 30 miles from farm to belly.
