About me
Anne Massie has a BA from Kalamazoo College in Psychology, Spanish and Philosophy and has spent the last 15 years building her career in local food advocacy in NW Indiana, gaining her farming knowledge through apprenticeships and workshops. From owning and operating her own diversified vegetable farm to leading significant non-profit work on food insecurity and farm viability, Anne has fully committed herself to changing our local food system as we know it. For the last 7 years, Anne has managed her own market garden farm, Grounded Earth Farm. Anne is most proud of her work supporting the start-up of the NWI Food Council and helping grow the organization dramatically by bringing in nearly 4 million dollars of grant funds for food systems development. Anne finds the most joy in camping with her husband and two young children (and dog and two cats), being a lifelong learner and tireless lover of homegrown tomatoes.
