Sam Malesa

Sam is an avid outdoorsman with a deep background in biology and plant diseases, which brought him to take an early interest in Fork Farms. While Sam had Fork Farms in mind as an employer, he gained work experience as a former Senior Territory manager for a Fortune 100 CPG company, in addition to other work in Product Safety Science at Kimberly Clark, and lab work involving environmental analytics.

Sam joined the Fork Farms team in 2022 and is now the company’s New England Partnership Development Director working out of Concord, New Hampshire. He is beyond excited to be a part of an organization that perfectly aligns with his interests, education, professional experience, and most importantly; his values.

Originally from Wisconsin, Sam met his wife while thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2019. This is also when they fell in love and knew New England would be their future home. He is passionate about hunting, fishing, conservation, camping, music, and spending time with friends and family.
