Taylor Malone was born in Memphis, lived the majority of his life in Nashville, and now calls Johnson City home. You might say the Appalachian Mountains, music, and culture have captured his heart. An undergrad at ETSU in the Philosophy, Religion, and Digital Media departments, and leader in the East Tennessee Dharma Community, Philosophy Club, International Student Association, and Debate Team, Taylor will be graduating in the spring of 2014. He is very excited to have that energy freed up to foment a food revolution in Johnson City. A forest frolicker his whole life, he hopes to bring a little of the wild into well-kept lawns in the creation of community edible parks throughout the city. Having cultivated gardens and worked on a farm full-time, he's also very interested in urban farming initiatives - in particular the creation of a community greenhouse in the downtown area. With the belief that philosophy begins in wonder, and that few are filled with wonder like children, Taylor especially hopes to engage the youth in the glories of getting one's hands in the humus.
