Meg Mitchell began as an apprentice on an organic vegetable farm in 2005 and has been raising produce ever since, working with local markets, planning for financial and climate resilience as well as participating in a network of mutual aid organizations. She is well-versed in the shifting challenges faced by producers in our state and is using her skills and experience to assist farmers in making data-driven plans to achieve their climate resiliency goals.
Meg works to connect farmers with technical support and funding for climate-smart practices and transitioning to organic. Removing barriers to access for communities historically underserved by MOFGA is central to their work as is as integrating emotional resilience into outreach and technical support.
