Josh Rubino

Although Josh was born in the Bay Area of California, he has lived in Salina since the age of five and has long considered it home. Josh has a BA in English from the University of Kansas and is currently pursuing his Master’s degree in Education online through Fort Hays State University. He previously worked as a General Research Assistant at The Land Institute in the summer of 2022, where he learned the ropes of harvesting, threshing, and data collection. Beyond this experience, he worked on a small-scale vegetable farm in Lawrence, KS, for 3+ years and has been doing freelance gardening and yardwork since he was a teenager. These experiences have made Josh comfortable with outdoor labor and skilled in the basics of weeding, planting, watering, and transplanting.
