possible headshotWe are so pleased to welcome our new Development Coordinator, Tara Walker. She has already had many successes in getting her own network of friends and family connected to Farm Discovery.

A longtime Santa Cruz resident, Tara has more than 12 years of development experience including several years doing donor stewardship at UC Santa Cruz. As a journalist, she has written about chefs, restaurants, and farms in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties. She lived in Santa Cruz from 1986-1991 when she earned a B.A. in creative writing from UCSC, and returned to Santa Cruz in 2004 after spending a few years in Texas (where she earned an M.A. in creative writing from UT Austin).

You can look forward to meeting Tara at one of the many food events she attends around our county or on June 27th, 2016 at Love Monday at Discretion Brewing where 20% of beer sales and a few signature dishes will raise money for Farm Discovery to empower youth to make great food choices.
