The Caney Fork Farmers

Arthur Kadlec

head of sales & marketing

Art brings a background in marketing, sales, and customer experience, but more than anything, he brings a deep belief in the power of aligning story with structure and mission with market. Before joining Caney Fork Farms, he worked with organizations across retail, food and beverage, CPG, and nonprofit sectors, helping teams grow not just through better systems, but through trust and shared intent. From building customer engagement and experience to consulting with mission-driven brands, he has always been drawn to places where people are doing things differently and doing them with care.

What drew Art to Caney Fork was more than just the work. It was the story, the intentionality, the leadership, and the sense that the farm is on the edge of something remarkable. As someone who is a little obsessed with both systems and storytelling, he saw a rare opportunity to join a team that believes values and viability can go hand in hand.

Though new to life on a working farm, Art is excited to support the CSA program and help carry forward the momentum already underway. He is proud to be part of a team that is breaking the mold and showing what it looks like to operate with intention, and to help deepen the ways Caney Fork shows up in the world and connects with a community that wants to be part of something meaningful.
