KDC Board President Newest Deputy Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture

2/1/2015

0 Comments

 
KDC  is excited to announce that our Board President, Hannah Smith-Brubaker, has been named Deputy Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. She was born and raised in Pennsylvania with nearly 20 years of non-profit leadership.

We will miss Hannah who was elected President of KDC’s Board in 2014. She lives and works with her family on a diversified organic vegetable and pastured poultry farm -- Village Acres Farm and FoodShed Inc. It is a Pennsylvania Certified Organic farm of 30 acres. Their products include vegetables and pastured livestock farm.

Just one of Hannah’s many accomplishments is working with the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA) to re-conceptualize the Good Food Neighborhood program to make the connection of the farm-to-consumer relationship and the vital role consumers have in ensuring the future of a safe, responsive, thriving food system. She is a cooperative person through and through, seeing the cooperative business model as a viable, equitable business structure for agricultural partnerships.

Congratulations Hannah!
