Ken Callaway
President

" I want to see green, growing plants...not red, runny soil" . With this simple phrase, Ken Callaway sums up a passion that began generations before in his family’s love and commitment to Nature. This legacy, plus Ken’s personal drive to "figure things out" led him to take his background in Chemical manufacturing for such diverse industries as mining, textiles water treatment and paper, and apply it to developing new products... using technology to repair environmental damage.

"The convergence of technologies we have used in industry, combined with our somewhat unique manufacturing capacity in Newnan, GA and the opportunity to make a real contribution toward reducing greenhouse gases, gave way to the development of EarthHold. There is no greater excitment than to see EarthHold work, and to continue the search for new products in that same vein".

In addition to his "inherited" commitment to Nature, Ken is an active supporter of local culture, serving as a volunteer at the Columbus Museum.

As President of Callaway Industries, Ken also heads Callaway Blue Spring Water and Rocky Branch Garden Center.

Ken Is married, the proud father of four, and a self-described soccer dad. And when not busy developing new ways to help fellow gardeners and farmers, he might just be found on his tractor, mowing the fields at his place near Hamilton Georgia.

And JoAnn also says she loves getting to spend much of her time outdoors, instead of behind a desk.

In her free time you’ll find JoAnn in her own yard, working in the garden. Or spending time with her daughter and son-in-law, and the two granddaughters who "make my life a joy".
