What excites you about your work and the work of CAE?
"Supporting the VT farming community and, in turn, providing local, nutritious, and fresh ready-to-use produce to some of our largest institutions in Vermont as well as local schools throughout our region.

I love being able to take my decades of farmers market management experience and now be able to support the Hardwick Farmers Market in a number of ways.

I love that the CAE staff and community is made up of passionate individuals who are innovative, big picture thinkers who are willing to take risks, ask hard questions, learn from bumps in the road, and laugh along the way."

What brings you joy?
"- Our family homestead, specifically our growing vegetable gardens, berry bushes, and flock of laying chickens and ducks.
 - Hikes and daily walks with Stella, our pup.
 - When the snow flies; cross country skiing and snowboarding.
 - Being a board member of Johnson Community Oven Committee and Hardwick Farmers Market."

What brings you hope?
"Having incredible coworkers who work so hard to improve our food system each and every day."
