As a dedicated advocate for food sovereignty and climate-friendly agriculture, Emily is thrilled to contribute to NOFA's work to cultivate an ecologically sound and socially just local food system. She came to this role after having spent more than a decade in food systems education and community outreach at her local food Co-op, where she enjoyed the opportunity to amplify the stories of Vermont farmers and food producers through various modes of print and digital storytelling. She engaged in this work with the goal of both fostering a meaningful connection between producer and consumer and inspiring deep admiration for the hands that feed us. Emily is proud to serve on the board of the Addison County Relocalization Network (ACORN-VT) and co-chair her community Hunger Council through Hunger Free Vermont. She and her husband tend a subsistence-scale veggie and mushroom farm and a retail perennial plant nursery called Taproot at her home on Snake Mountain in Weybridge, VT. When she's not working, Emily enjoys skiing, climbing, trail running, foraging, fermenting, and experimenting in the kitchen.
