History and Credentials

Gary obtained a B.S. in Fisheries Biology under Dr. Soderburg and Dr. McNevin at Mansfield University. Dr. Soderburg compiled the sum of previous known Fisheries data, and is credited with writing the definitive equation to understand fish growth in an intensive system. Dr. McNevin was Doc's hand picked replacement. He brought a global perspective and influence that is still felt on international policy through his work with the World Wildlife Fund.

Wilson studied at Columbia University and obtained a Ph.d. from New York Medical College. He was humble and motivated. He was able to achieve his goals in a way that is truely extraordinary. Wilson had the wild idea to start a sturgeon farm for caviar production. Then he met Gary, who developed feed that doesn't have fish oil in it and excludes wastes stream products like feather meal. Most animal feed is made out of the parts you can't eat and sprinkled with oil.

While Gary worked at a trout farm, he and Wilson exchanged drafts and revisions. How big, how much, how long, how? Gary seemed unsure if Wislon would follow through. Wilson seemed more sure after every discussion. So, Wilson saved and Gary planned. 

Mega MicroGreens (MMG) registered as an LLC December of 2019. The founders, Gary & Becca started the company as a pilot project for Gary and Wilsons future sturgeon farm. The team had no idea a pandemic was looming around the corner and their family would soon be reliant on the fledgling farm to support the family. They quickly expanded, from one farmers' market carrying a variety of microgreens, to three markets per week and distributing products for Keswick Creamery, Bouncing Goat Soap, Hempziol and EverBar. Along the way MMG began to produce many more products than microgreens and soon out grew the name.

108 Gatherings formation was also solidified in response to the pandemic of 2020. With tours canceled and venues closed, a small group of individuals realized that if they want live music they would need to host an event. The success of the first three events, MicroFest, Micro Dos & Green Out 108, encouraged the team to continue hosting a gathering after the world reopened. Strawberry Moon 324 was the first event at the newly acquired Amberson location, and the first event organized under the 108 Productions banner. The original 108 Gatherings event model  was guided by the 501c3 Non For Profit: Zero Equals One Equals Infinity, and continues to find value from the NFP's  insight.

108 Productions was formed when Mega MicroGreens joined forces with 108 Gatherings. This union positioned Mega Microgreens to produce and distribute more of the highest quality goods. Now, 108 Gathering has a home base and is capable of reaching further with its highest quality services. 

108 Productions is currently developing raw land, and has many interesting projects in the works. The best way to learn about the many expansions of 108 Productions is to visit us at the Amberson location. Please contact us to schedual a visit.
