Rachel Zegerius

Rachel joins Cornucopia following six years on staff as the program director at Circle Pines Center. There, among other things, she created a local food ordering system, produced an annual music festival, and created programs to educate youth and adults about social justice issues, environmental stewardship, and cooperative alternatives. Fund development and grant-writing are two ways in which Rachel contributes her skills to support the environmental movement.

Rachel is passionate about good food and sustainable farming. She is eager to collectively pursue the mission of economic justice for family farms, and to protect consumer confidence in organics. Somewhat obsessed with goats, Rachel has been practicing animal husbandry by managing a small dairy goat herd for the past seven years.
