Sky Cutler grew up in the Silicon Valley of Northern California. As a baby, his crib was in the kitchen of his families restaurant. Growing up in a New York Times rated restaurant provided him with a solid foundation in the hospitality industry. Upon graduating from Florida Atlantic University with a BA in Hospitality Management, he worked to save enough money for travel abroad. A one year trip quickly turned into 8+ years where he lived in Bali, Indonesia while managing hospitality venues. Upon moving back to the United States 1 month before Covid in 2020 and witnessing the food system collapse, he transitioned from hospitality to growing food. The subsequent time spent working on farms motivated him to open Dirt Candy Farm with the motivation of creating more food sovereign communities. When he’s not in the garden, Sky enjoys working out, spending time with his family , and planning his next surf adventure.
