博客來John Emrich brings a fresh, well-rounded perspective to his debut title, The Local Yolk. Through his education, career, and daily life, he has accumulated extensive experience and knowledge that make him uniquely qualified to write on the local food movement from both a professional and personal standpoint.
Emrich holds master’s degrees in business and environmental studies, and has twenty-five years of investment and corporate finance experience. Not afraid to get his white collar a little soiled, he left the corporate world in 2010 to found Backyard Chicken Run, a delivery service focused on helping the urban homesteader establish and maintain a sustainable living. He also helps urban homesteaders as a board member of Iroquois Valley Farms LLC, which, among its other endeavors, backs organic farming efforts by buying farms and leasing them back to farmers who couldn’t otherwise afford to keep them running.
