Transparency in Growing Local Food
At the age of 27, Kendall ditched the power suits of her corporate career, as Director of Operations in grocery supply chain, for a life in gumboots on the farm when she opened her business Central Park Farms.
Fast forward eight years later, Central Park Farms employs a small team and is a growing direct-to-consumer producer of beef, pork, and chicken supplying the Metro Vancouver market.
Having won ‘Farmers Market Vendor of the Year’ from the BC Association of Farmers Markets and the ‘Under 40 Entrepreneur of the Year’ award from the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, Kendall’s passion is in helping other farmers and food producers gain the tools to grow their businesses for long-term success.
Through her business, Marketing For Farmers, Kendall provides mentorship and education to farmers and ranchers throughout North America, giving them the tools to grow their businesses online.
Outside of agriculture, Kendall is also an owner of a historic hotel in the small town of 700 people called Greenwood, BC. Together with her husband Jay, they’re hard at work restoring this 1898 landmark with plans to reopen it as a boutique hotel, mercantile, and lounge featuring their farm-raised products.
