Executive Director Amy has served as the director of the Palouse Backyard Harvest chapter since 2006 and is now helping to guide the expansion of the national network. Over the past two years, she has tirelessly worked with groups from across the country to rethink the potential of their local food resources, while raising funds to build the capacity for a broader Backyard Harvest network. As Amy will freely admit, her desire to see these ideas spread is not entirely altruistic . . . "I take a strange pleasure in knowing that I am not the only one crazy enough to try to capture the bounty of backyards. It is really comforting to know that folks in Santa Barbara, Paso Robles and Minneapolis also stay awake at night trying to figure out how to pick more plums!"
