Noah grew up near Manchester, IA, a small town in Northeast Iowa. From a very young age Noah had deep ties to production agriculture through 4-H, FFA and being actively involved on relatives and neighbors farms. Upon graduation from West Delaware high school in 1996 Noah proceeded to attend Iowa State University and majored in Ag Business. Noah graduated from Iowa State in 2000 with a major in ag business and a minor in International Ag. After graduating ISU he worked in the industry for Cargill until late 2001. Noah learned several fundamental business skills throughout his experience working with Cargill. However his heart was still in production agriculture. After leaving Cargill he moved on to work for some farmers in Central Iowa and participated in the wheat run throughout Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota for four years. In 2006 Noah started farming together with Caleb Akin, forming A&W Farms. From 2006 to 2015 A & W Farms was able to build a successful farming operation as first generation farmers. In 2015 they decided to begin to aggressively transition from conventional to organic production. Since 2015 Noah and Caleb have transitioned over half of their 3000 acres to organic production. Noah’s passion for caring for the land and providing a safe food supply continues to be the driving force in his organic production. He looks forward to the new business venture and being able to help others transition to organic, come up with production ag opportunities and solutions, market grain more profitably, and all other aspects of organic crop production. Noah is married to Erin Wendt and has two daughters, Harper and Daphne. In his free time, Noah and his wife enjoy attending their daughter’s events, spending time together, running, boating, snowmobiling, and relaxing.
