Kathy is the food advocacy manager at TomKat Ranch Educational Foundation. The ranch exists to practice and promote regenerative agriculture, inspire and catalyze action to transform five million acres to regenerative land management, and to shift five million eaters to purchase food raised from regenerative farms. Growing up in California, Kathy studied nutrition/dietetics at CSU Chico State and is passionate about food and farming. She has been with the ranch since 2007 and, in 2008, helped launch the ranch’s grassfed beef business, LeftCoast GrassFed. Kathy is on on the board of American Grassfed Association and is the vice president. At TomKat Ranch, she works on various projects, including Beef2Institution, improving the quality of school food, overcoming processing issues for ranchers, certification adherence and implementation, and building consumer demand for regenerative agriculture.
