About John Wilson

Born in Indiana, farmer and contractor John Wilson has been active in organic farming and sustainable practices for nearly thirty years. In the late 1970's and early 80's John took intensive classes in building energy efficient structures, solar energy, organic farming methods and composting. He moved to Virginia Beach in 1979. John started his own composting business New Earth Compost when he moved to a five acre farm in Virginia Beach in 1995. New Earth Farm produces vegetables, fruits and pasture-raised eggs using organic methods. His produce is sold locally at Virginia Garden at the Va. Beach Farmer's Market, the Five Points Farmer's Market, The Heritage Store, and Terra Nova. John is a long time member of the Virginia Association for Biological Farming.

Portfolio Weekly featured New Earth Farm in an article entitled We Are What We Eat (29 Aug 06). This article also contains a good list of farmers' markets in southeastern Virginia.

Spreading the Word John also established a non-profit organization whose purpose is to spread the word about organic and sustainable growing by way of projects such as this one at Norview, recently featured in the Virginian-Pilot. Believing that education is one of the missions of organic farmers, John offers farm visits to small groups from area schools.
