David Smiles

Farmer Dave is a proud father who named the company in honor of his oldest son, Uriah, born with a rare metabolic condition. Then, in a miraculous twist, it was discovered that the treatment Uriah needed most of all was a diet of fibrous vegetables and fats. Now, the system Farmer Dave invented for growing healthy plants provides healing nourishment for the very son who gave the company its name. "I was very frustrated in the old paradigm of food production and distribution. There's a big disconnect between farmers and consumers." Uriah's Urban Farms is Farmer Dave's pride and joy, not only because it makes a difference in his son's life, but also because he knows it can improve so many other lives. The unmatched flavor and nutrition of living produce can bring better health and enjoyment to an entire global village of food consumers.
