About Andrea: 

Growing up in Breckenridge, Michigan, Andrea was exposed to many different kinds of farming—from her parents’ four-legged livestock, to her grandpa’s ducks and feed mill, to her grandmother’s masterful flower gardens. In high school, she spent her free time either visiting the mill, participating in her school’s FFA chapter or raising 4-H animals, eventually studying biology and organic fruit and vegetable management at Indiana Wesleyan University and MSU. Following additional hands-on training through her apprenticeships at Athena’s Harvest and the Carversville Farm Foundation, we are thrilled for Andrea to bring more than two decades of farming experience to our operations at NanBop.
