Justin Park

Justin's grandmother and parents showed him the value of farm-to-table eating at a young age when his family moved back to his grandfather's dairy farm in Upstate New York. As a young journalist, he used his nights and weekends to start a mini-farm of organic vegetables and later got his Master Gardener certification in both Hawaii and Colorado. He now gardens to supplement his groceries at 10,000 feet in the Rockies and appreciates fresh produce more than ever. In addition to writing about food, Justin enjoys photographing food and creating how-to cooking videos for cookware brands and chefs. He received the 2016 Associated Press Sports Editors' Award for Investigative Writing as part of a team covering the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Justin has an MS in Journalism and IT from Syracuse University's Newhouse School and his C.S.C.S. certification. He received the 2016 Associated Press Sports Editors' Award for Investigative Writing.
