Hi From New Program Manager, Taryn ??

Dear Grow Ahead Community,

My name is Taryn Lemmon (she/her) and I’m so grateful to join Grow Ahead as the new Program Manager. For the last 7 years I’ve spent my time advocating for Fair Trade practices, environmental responsibility, racial justice, and gender equity through cross-country grassroots organizing. I’m excited to utilize my diverse experience to support small farming communities alongside the generous Grow Ahead network.

When I’m not sitting behind my desk, you can find me reading on my balcony, enjoying a cup of coffee at the local vegan café, or strolling around Richmond, VA with my beloved hound, Elvis.

I’d love to learn more about you and help you grow in your advocacy and impact whether you are an individual activist or business looking to strengthen your environmental practices.

Sign up for our monthly newsletter to stay up to date on current regeneration projects and learn how small-scale farmers around the world are protecting the planet and supporting their communities.

I can’t wait to dive deep into this work with you. Feel free to reach out with any questions or just to say hello! Simply click on my name at the beginning of this page and send me a message.

Warmest wishes,

Taryn
