Farmer/Retired NFL Player
Speaker Bio
In 2012, Jason Brown walked away from a successful NFL career as the highest-paid center in the league to start a farm, without knowing a single thing about farming. Join us at this year’s ArFB Annual Meeting to hear from Jason about how his faith in God guided he and his wife, Tay, to start First Fruits Farm in Franklin County, North Carolina. Since then, he’s founded a ministry, written a book and harvested over 100,000 pounds of vegetables. Jason will also share the challenges, opportunities and lessons learned throughout his journey as a football star turned farmer.
