Christopher Peterson

Home Place Pastures
Tennessee

Christopher Peterson has spent the last ten years working in sustainable agriculture and food systems development,  including small-scale vegetable production, multi-species managed intensive grazing, whole farm management, and food policy. Currently he is the Farm Director for Home Place Pastures, in Como, MS, where he manages a regenerative grazing program with cattle, pigs, and chickens.  He was farm manager at  AOVS Urban Farm, a “low-till” vegetable farm in Memphis, TN providing work opportunities, free produce, and therapeutic engagement for formerly homeless military veterans. Christopher believes that farming at its best creates systems where production goals are met alongside social, ecological, and aesthetic goals. Christopher has served as Executive Director for GrowMemphis (now a program of Memphis Tilth) and has consulted on various other Mid-south food initiatives. He holds an MA in Human Value and Global Ethics and has taught as an adjunct professor in Philosophy and Anthropology for 7 years.
