Chris Coulter: The Plough Agriculturist


In searching for an agriculturist for The Plough series who knows their stuff, I didn't have to look far. Chris Coulter, owner of Coulter's Good Earth Garden Farm, was easily my first and only choice. Chris and I are first cousins and grew up practically brothers. Chris has two things: a tremendous intelligence for the outdoors and gardening, and a natural gift at being in front of the camera.

Chris grows some of the most beautiful Kentucky vegetables and fruits that I have seen and tasted, and I've seen and tasted a lot. I believe he may be our Grandfather's reincarnated green thumb.

I'm excited for viewers of The Plough to watch and enjoy Chris. You will definitely learn from him, his gardening skills and knowledge are truly first rate.

Chris's Bio:

Chris is a Kentucky native who grew up on a farm surrounded by all types of plants and animals. He obtained a BS in Wildlife Management and then went on to complete his MS in Plant and Soil Science from the University of Kentucky. He has worked in a variety of fields including education and the commercial nursery industry. After spending two years working in agriculture overseas he has returned to the family farm to do what he loves best--growing vegetables, fruit, and poultry using sustainable and organic methods. Coulter's Good Earth Farm began providing high quality produce to the local community in 2003. He lives in Bloomfield with his wife Amy, and their two children.
