Kevin Gunter - The Garden Doctor Teaching Farm, LLC.


Kevin Gunter, a retired Air Force Veteran with 20 years of service, founded the Garden Doctor Teaching Farm to introduce people of all ages to the principles of sustainable farming and food forest design. His mission is to create a learning platform that imparts essential life skills through hands-on experiences. The farm offers courses that include rainwater collection, where participants design and build reclaimed water systems for garden irrigation. The farm also serves as an interactive classroom for teaching subjects like science, chemistry, math, and natural resource preservation. As the demand for high-quality food continues to rise, Kevin's farm is dedicated to supporting the community in meeting this crucial need.

In collaboration with the Health Education and Training Center of Gainesville, Inc. (H.E.A.T.), Kevin's Garden Doctor Teaching Farm provides health education on the farm, focusing on holistic health and wellness, and teaching participants how to incorporate healthier eating into their daily lives. Starting in September 2024, the farm will offer guided farm to table wellness tours to further educate the community on sustainable farming and healthy living practices.
