Jack  Algiere
Four-Season Grower

Jack was born and raised in southern Rhode Island on a family farm. Since attending the University of Rhode Island’s College of Plant Science, Jack has worked as a greenhouse manager for a family-owned florist, greenhouse and nursery, a private gardener, a park ranger for the Costa Rican National Parks Service, and a sharecropper for an organic vegetable market in California. Most recently, Jack developed an organic program at White Gate Farm, which produces food for 60 member families and various retail natural food stores and has become a center for the community.

At Stone Barns Center, Jack maintains the half-acre in-soil greenhouse and four acres of garden. His goal is to produce optimal amounts of superior-quality produce for the restaurant, market, education center and community using efficient and naturally sustainable practices.
