Meet our new farm business development manager!
|
|
Procter Center is excited to introduce you to
Danielle Vogel
, our new Farm Business Development Manager. Please join us in giving Dani a warm welcome to Procter and our diocese.
Danielle Vogel grew up in Gaithersburg, MD before pursing her degree in Political Science from Ohio University with an emphasis in agricultural economics. Upon graduation, Danielle spent the next few years working in college admissions, and became the Director of Admissions at a flight school in Salt Lake City, UT. During her time in Utah, Danielle volunteered at the Salt Lake City Downtown Farmers Market. After her husband’s career took them to southern Utah, and then New Jersey, they settled back in Grove City, OH where they live with their two cats and a dog.
In the Fall of 2017, Danielle started volunteering at Procter Center, working on the farm and at the farmer’s market 22+ hours per week, as well as participating in various volunteer work for the local food programing organization, Local Matters. The following summer, Danielle successfully completed her position as the Farm Intern, enjoying tending to the fields, green house, high tunnel, hogs, laying hens, broiler chickens, and operating at three different farmer’s markets. Her passion for small-scale farming has only increased while at Procter.
Danielle now sits on the Steering Committee for the Franklin County Local Food Council, and continues her volunteer work with Local Matters, with the goal of doing her part to link fresh produce to low-income areas and promote food education for all. As the new Farm Business Development Manager, she is looking forward to participating more with the Downtown London Association, Madison OSU-Extension Office, and discovering new farm markets to attend in the greater London, OH area.
