Noelle’s passion for food began when she observed the powerful impacts that agriculture has on the environment, economic opportunity, community, and health while working at Root Capital. This prompted her personal exploration into U.S. agriculture, and while working on farms in Massachusetts and Nevada, she gained a deeper appreciation for the physical hard work and financial challenges that our food producers undertake every day. Noelle supported dozens of sustainable farms and food businesses on the East Coast through financial and farmland access advising. Today, she is part of the team at Kitchen Table Advisors, where she advises farmers and ranchers and builds partnerships with values-aligned food businesses to support the long-term economic viability of sustainable small farms and ranches.
