R. Shane Kennedy

Born in Albuquerque, NM, Shane loves the outdoors and ice cold river plunges!  He loves to cook and eat of course, but importantly, he believes in the health and life affirming values of real food, whether grown, raised, foraged, hunted, or fished.

As an advertising executive in New York, at agencies including McCann, Y&R, and TBWA\Chiat\Day, Shane specialized in healthcare which has lead him to the understanding that food is medicine.  Food keeps us healthy and can even heal us.  So the opportunity to explore all the great local food available in Connecticut while growing edible CT EAST has been the perfect storm of interests and passions!
