Meet Justin Fulk
Customer Service Jedi · Digital Systems Architect Extraordinaire · Logistics Rockstar
Justin runs customer service, engineering, technology, and logistics at Almanac Planting Co — or, as he likes to joke, “basically everything Steph tells me to do.” From greenhouse design to eCommerce systems, he’s been part of the company’s growth since day one. His goal is simple: build systems that make life easier for plants and people — and, whenever possible, increase the amount of love in the world through better design, communication, and care.
Before Almanac, Justin worked as a helicopter flight engineer for the Department of Defense, spending much of his twenties in the air. The experience taught him how to stay calm under pressure, think fast when things go sideways, and appreciate a good checklist — all of which come in handy running a busy greenhouse business.
After leaving the government sector to spend more time with his young family, Justin worked as a mechanic and manager at Stephanie’s parents’ service center. The job taught him not just welding and automotive repair, but also how to function in civilian life again — something that proved more valuable than any technical skill. Those lessons in patience, communication, and teamwork now guide how he approaches customer service and day-to-day operations at Almanac.
A proud college dropout (in his final year, no less), Justin studied education, computer science, and business — three threads that ended up shaping how he runs Almanac today. His fascination with helicopter track-and-balance systems evolved into a love of digital architecture and automation, forming the framework that keeps Almanac running smoothly from propagation to delivery.

A Mind in Motion
Outside of work, Justin finds peace in philosophy, nature, and a good hike with his family and dogs. He draws inspiration from Albert Camus, Marcus Aurelius, and Friedrich Nietzsche (in that order), and is currently developing a deep appreciation for Baruch Spinoza — maybe because living among trees makes those ideas land a little differently.
You’ll usually find him walking the farm with Stephanie and their kids, tinkering with a project that probably didn’t need tinkering, or figuring out better ways to keep the place humming. The growing crew of chickens, cattle, and soon-to-arrive goats keeps things lively — and Justin swears the animals are better listeners than most humans.
After years in high-intensity, technical environments, the slower rhythm of farm life suits him just fine. Between shipping days, spreadsheets, and sunrise chores, he’s found a kind of peace — dirt under his boots, coffee before dawn, and the steady reminder that good things grow at their own pace. For Justin, building systems isn’t just about efficiency — it’s about cultivating connection, and finding ways for technology and compassion to coexist in harmony.
