Hayden Vandeberg

John Liu

Hayden comes from Central Montana where she ranches with her husband and his family raising pairs on the Montana Prairie. Born and raised in rural Montana, she has both an understanding of agriculture and a passion for conserving the natural world around her. She graduated from Montana State University with an undergraduate degree in Natural Resource Management with an emphasis in Rangeland Management. Grazing management has become one of her deepest passions after spending 6 years with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, and getting the opportunity to drink coffee around the kitchen table with countless producers who taught her more than the 4 years spent in a classroom. She now serves as Quivira Coalitions New Agrarian Program Northern Plains Manager where she continues to learn from the amazing producers in their mentorship program.
