Having worked as an organic farmer, as well as a teacher, The Farm Bus Bistro is a fun collaboration of my passions!  As a graduate student at Portland State University (2007-08) I designed and led educational programming for K-8th grade students at Jean's Urban Forest Farm - planting, harvesting, and cooking with students. Ever since, I have known that it was my calling to share my love of growing, cooking and eating good food.

Since moving back home to the Rogue Valley, I have been fortunate to work with the Medford Montessori School (where I grew up & began my journey of lifelong learning), as well as The Valley School of Southern Oregon. With each of these schools, my focus has been on providing a unique Culinary Arts program which provides students with the opportunity to discover the joy and benefits that come from working together with their peers to create and serve a delicious and nourishing lunch to their school community.

It is my aim to utilize The Farm Bus Bistro to continue building on these programs, and inspire & empower students of all ages to connect with, and enjoy, the incredible, delicious abundance we are surrounded by!
