We are delighted to share that Miriam Limov, who many of you know as our beloved Engagement Manager, has been hired as our new Farm Institute Associate! She has been playing many roles at Sierra Harvest over the last five years, and in this new capacity, she will be working with Molly Nakahara to help support and expand our Farm Institute Programs, continue the great work Lauren Scott has done to help more restaurants and institutions buy directly from local farmers, take the lead on the Nevada County Food Policy Council, and continue to manage Soup Night and Farm Potlucks.
We also want to give a heartfelt thanks to Lauren Scott, who has used her passion and creativity for almost 3 years to help do what many thought couldn’t be done – get more fresh, local food served in institutions like school lunches, hospital meals, as well as food banks and local restaurants. We are sad to see her go, but happy she is using her skills at The BriarPatch Food Co-op as their Sustainability Coordinator.
