Angie’s curiosity to engage with the land and food systems led her to work on farms and vineyards in Washington and New Zealand. She later pursued a Permaculture Design Certificate to further her understanding of growing food and stewarding the land, and was then led to serve a Tribal community’s wellness department focused on chronic disease prevention and traditional foodways.

She currently splits her time between her work at NGBI, her role supporting operations and events at Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders, hiking in the mountains of Colorado, traveling and looking for good places to homestead, and constantly learning any new topics in the health, wellness, and traditional medicines spaces.

After many years of gardening and farming in Maine and New Hampshire, Lea now works in communications for climate and food systems nonprofits that connect eaters with local food and support farmers in their transition to sustainable practices. She also serves as the Editor for Edible New Hampshire.

She also writes on local food, the outdoors, the arts and the intersection between agriculture and climate. When not at her desk, Lea can be found skiing, biking, hiking, and “o0o-ing” and “aah-ing” her way through the White Mountains of New Hampshire, where she finds home.
