About Me
My name is Meredith Rose.
I originally hail from the Chicago suburbs. Growing up, the closest thing I ever came to agriculture was my mom exclaiming, “we’re eating green beans from the garden for dinner!” Unfortunately, despite my mother’s early enthusiasm, my passion for agriculture was not found until years later. In college, I took a course that sparked my interest in local food. This interest became a hobby when I moved to the Yampa Valley in 2014 and started volunteering for a local ag non-profit. My interest of local food grew into a passion and is now the north-star of my career path.
I have many endeavors in agriculture through volunteerism and employment. All of these aspects speak to each other to give me the pleasure to dedicate my life to agriculture. I have even grown my home garden and am raising poultry in as a side project this year!
