HomeGrown Organics is owned and run by John Coghlan
John is a NW native and lives on Vashon Island with his wife and two daughters. What drew him to Vashon was the vision of a life where his daughters could grow up a few steps from the woods and a stream, raising animals and growing tree crops while still being connected to a vibrant community. He draws regular inspiration from the meadows, woods, creeks, and wetlands that he explores with his family.
During the eight years that he spent in Southern California during and after university, he caught quite a travel bug, and learned Spanish. For a while it seemed his life was headed towards helping the poor in Latin America through some form of dignifying business development. These efforts led him to permaculture, and the wide world of books and lectures on nature, sustainable living, and a re-envisioned “back to the land” movement.
