Paige has advocated on behalf of small organic farmers professionally for 20+ years; as a foundational team member of three different farm advocacy entities, a farmworker, a lifelong learner, and a numbers geek. Her appreciation for our environment, grounded respect for the incredibly hard work of farming, and her pragmatic idealism inform her work in leading systems change efforts in the region and as a business coach for farmers.
Paige's diverse experiences have touched upon many facets of our food system. Her time at Marin Organic, working on local farms, at Tara Firma Farms, at UC Cooperative Extension, and for over a decade at Kitchen Table Advisors have all built upon each other and deepened her values and purpose. Paige has years of experience facilitating groups of all sizes, financial modeling to inform business decisions, supporting individuals to mitigate risk and navigate inflection points by rooting in their values, and, moreover, to lead a life that is meaningful to them. Because of her growth mindset, she has continuously refined her craft in the areas of personal, professional, and organizational development. Her work bridges the analytical mind and the heart in service of supporting environmentally conscious and marginalized farmers and ranchers, in greater service of planetary and societal health.
