Cass

Cass, a Colorado-ian turned East Coaster, is a passionate advocate for food justice, dedicated to creating sustainable systems that empower communities and advance social, economic, and ecological equity. With a background in Food Studies and Public Action, Cass has explored the intersections of food, justice, and access while developing a strong foundation in community development, engagement, and creative storytelling.

During her undergraduate studies in Southern Vermont, Cass immersed herself in experiential learning and research focused on addressing systemic inequities through multidisciplinary approaches, with food as a powerful catalyst for change. Through innovative projects and community collaborations, she has helped build up local food systems and strengthen community resilience.

Cass brings a diverse range of experience in food justice, community engagement, program development, and creative storytelling to Pitney Meadows. She is excited to “plant” herself within the Pitney team and contribute to the ongoing work of stewarding this special place as a vibrant, accessible, edible, and educational working ecosystem for the community.
