Name: Freddy Short
Hometown: Kempton, PA
Role at GardenShare: Community Based Learning Student
How long? Spring 2018 (January-May)
Why I do what I do at GardenShare: Growing up in a
very rural part of Pennsylvania, I have always been surrounded by farms. Because
of this almost everyone in and around my neighborhood has access to healthy and
affordable food. After arriving at St.Lawrence University two years ago I could
tell that this was not the case for St. Lawrence County. After realizing how
rocky the soil is and how few months farmers have to grow their crops in the
North Country it began to make sense why there was a lack of affordable
nutritious food. Being a strong believer in the importance of a healthy diet I
began to look into how the people of St. Lawrence County got their food and how
the farms were managing to stay in business. This is when a teacher of mine
pointed me to GardenShare. During my semester with GardenShare I have been trying to
find answers to these questions to provide solutions that will help everyone
have access to healthy food!
Role outside of GardenShare: I am a sophomore at St. Lawrence
University majoring in Business in the Liberal Arts and Economics. On campus I
am involved with the Disability Advocacy Group and Beta Theta Pi
Fraternity.
Hobbies: Hiking, Skiing, Fishing and Hunting.
Most recent accomplishment: Deans
Incentive Scholarship Award (2016)
Favorite book: Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
Last read? Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
What one word would you use to describe yourself? Active
What are you most proud of? I am most proud of the fact that I am

What would I find in your refrigerator right now? Half of my salad
from dinner last night and a pizza from last weekend.
