John Bolsch is a retired United States Airman whose life is rooted in service to the people of the United States of America, family, and integrity. A devoted husband to EJ and father of two boys, John brings the same care and dedication to Forever Home Farms that has guided his life and career.

Raised in Hazlet, New Jersey, John’s journey began with the mentorship of exceptional leaders who instilled in him a lifelong commitment to excellence and service. An Eagle Scout, National Honor Society inductee, and Bloustein Scholar, John’s early experiences shaped his values. He explored a range of career paths — from carpentry apprenticeship and restaurant ownership in Florida to public service — before joining the United States Air Force.

During his service, John excelled as a Mental Health Technician, earning Airman of the Year honors, the prestigious John L. Levitow Award in Airman Leadership School, and an Army Commendation Medal for his work in Afghanistan. He concluded his military career as a SERE Psychology Specialist, serving with dedication and honor.

Today, John channels his passion for service into education and stewardship. He holds a Master of Science in HR Development from Villanova University, is pursuing a Doctor of Education at Liberty University, and teaches Drone Technology at a high school in Ridgeland, SC. Guided by the philosophy, “You must earn your humanity,” John believes every day is an opportunity to build a legacy rooted in integrity.

At Forever Home Farms, John’s vision and dedication help ensure every jar of honey and handmade good reflects the care, respect, and heart that define our farm.
