Farming and Meta-Farming

Raised on a generational fruit farm, Allison’s technical passion turned toward agriculture as soon as she could walk. She studied ag engineering and soil science, and worked alongside farmers on nutrient management.

Today she works connecting researchers and specialty crop growers, helping researchers align their projects with growers’ greatest needs, while helping growers implement research outcomes on-farm.

Play

skiing, shooting, and folk dance

Technical passion is the common thread–whether she’s baking or practicing biathlon alone, or bringing community together to enjoy and preserve folk dancing traditions.
