Jason Brown: keynote speaker

Jason Brown is a former NFL offensive lineman who walked away from a multimillion-dollar career to become a farmer and philanthropist. As the founder of First Fruits Farm in Louisburg, North Carolina, he has dedicated his life to growing and donating fresh, healthy food to those in need. Over the past decade, his farm has provided more than 2 million pounds of produce to fight hunger and improve public health.
