At EZ Grow Farms, it’s all about legacy, evolution, and the exciting unknowns of the next generation.
Dusty Zamecnik, now a steward of his family’s multi-generational operation, grew up immersed in the rhythms of farm life.
Days were dictated by weather, harvests, and hands-on teamwork with parents and grandparents. The farm always came first — not just a job, but a way of life.
But today’s EZ Grow Farms doesn’t look much like the one Dusty grew up on.
Technology has transformed agriculture at lightning speed.
Dusty reflected on how just a few years ago, you had to hop on a plane to find reliable propagation research.
Now, with resources like ChatGPT and instant digital networks, innovation is always just a click away.
This transformation is more than just operational — it’s generational.
Dusty, now a father of two girls (with his second daughter on the way), sees the future of farming through a different lens.
He hopes his daughters explore the world beyond the farm first, just like he did, and then choose to return — not out of obligation, but passion.
He knows that today’s agriculture offers more diverse opportunities than ever before: robotics, biology, business management, and more.
Farming, once narrowly defined, is now a constellation of careers.
The “family farm” may not look the same, but its heart — dedication, innovation, and love for the land — remains strong.
