Kenneth Palmer

Senior Program Assistant, Agriculture and Food Systems

Kenneth hails from Lawrence, Kansas and believes in the value and power of rural people and organizing. He joins SiX as Senior Program Assistant directly from the Emerson Fellowship with the Congressional Hunger Center. His work landed him at two organizations: Feeding South Dakota in Sioux Falls, SD and the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) in Washington, D.C. His background in agriculture includes a season as a field hand at Sacred Sun Farm in Perry, KS and various volunteer and paid opportunities at small farms and gardens. His ancestors were Exodusters to Kansas and farmed land there until the late 20th century, and that past and present reality informs his belief in rural and racial opportunity. Kenneth graduated with an A.B. in History and Literature from Harvard University.
