Kendall Emmerson Ross : Coordinating the Fala Farms Movement
Continuing a Heritage of Family Farming & Community Service
Raised in the Mennonite Farming Community of Harleysville, Pennsylvania, Kendall is the youngest of 5 children born to Mennonite Parents, both of whom were raised in farming families whose ancestral journeys date back to the mid 1800's of County Armagh, Ireland, and the early 1700's of the Alsace Region of Europe, in what is now north western Switzerland.
Kendall has many years of experience cultivating and harvesting produce in various regions of the United States, including the coastal mountain regions of Northern California, and the high dessert terrain of Northern Nevada, where he labored at Palomino Vineyards as a farm hand specializing in planting and cultivation.
His migrant agricultural journey has also seen him serve as a grower and farm hand on multiple, medium and large-scale hemp farms in Louisiana, Northern California, and the front range of Colorado.
While on the Big Island of Hawai'i, Kendall wrote the charter for the highly successful Magickal Muse Mission, a 501(c)3 educational and community service charity which he founded, and also coordinated during the years of 2000 to 2003.
Kendall is also a successful owner and coordinator of multiple small businesses such as; Aloha Painting, Remodeling, and Restoration in Seattle; Clachann Painting and Restoration in Edinburgh, Scotland; and English is Fun for Everyone which specialized in the tutoring of people in English as a Second Language.
There are many other occupational experiences and functions which Kendall has had, such as a Teacher of High School English, Journalism, and Theatre on Native American Reservations in Montana, and New Mexico, as well as teaching internationally in Scotland, China, and Azerbaijan. He also values his many years of Healing Arts training, practice, and mentoring as essential to the process of healing, and the understanding of recovery and the reclamation of health and self.
His many and varied experiences of the trades, agriculture, and coordinating people, projects, and organizations, gives him the opportunity to be uniquely placed in the process of creating the
Fala Farms Agricultural & Healing Arts Community Movement.
