Josh Mahlik

Fork Farms
Partnership Development Director

---

Josh has a passion for innovative design, experiential learning, sustainability, and health. Prior to joining Fork Farms, Josh managed laboratory, facility identification, and water filtration product lines for Brady Corporation and Pentair. Josh became passionate about food issues when he was awarded an “Indians for Collective Action Scholarship” to support the Self-Employed Women’s Association in Ahmedabad India, where he developed a business plan for environmentally responsible solar cookstoves. This experience fundamentally impacted his perspective on food production and distribution systems.

After a few health scares of his own and growing awareness of the critical flaws in our food distribution system, Fork Farms became the perfect path to meld these passions into a personal and professional lifestyle that creates change.  He now works on Social Determinants of Health and year-round, fresh food production projects that support local growers and communities.
