Spencer Fenniman is the Director of Farming Operations at Hawthorne Valley Farm, a 900 acre multi-functional organic and biodynamic farm in Ghent, NY. The non-profit Hawthorne Valley Association has for 50 years worked to renew soil, society and the self through education, agriculture and the arts. Spencer has managed fields and fertility since arriving in 2012, and took over the management of the farming operations in 2017. Spencer loves the daily challenges of working with the land. Farming takes deep knowledge, listening, creativity, dedication and great teachers. He lives in sight of the farm with his wife and 2 children.
Ango Sara Tashker has been an organic farmer and residential practitioner at San Francisco Zen Center since 2002. From 2007 she has helped lead Green Gulch Farm’s six-month Organic Farm and Garden Apprenticeship for people interested in integrating residential Zen Buddhist practice and hands-on training in organic farming and gardening. She loves that her every activity is the fertile ground of Zen practice: growing food, relating to community, being a mother, appreciating the breath and body. In fall 2011 she served as Shuso (Head Student) at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center with Abbots Myogen Steve Stücky and Sojun Mel Weitsman. She currently serves as Director of Green Gulch Farm.

Online event held in conjunction with Earth Day April 21-24, 2022
"We are in a time where we are unearthing humanity’s new potential on our planet. Many are seeking answers to how we can contribute to the cultural shift of our species — particularly in ways that are centered, grounded, and connected with the Earth. We hope to honor this vital impulse through the Summit by creating space (particularly for women) to give voice, bring awareness, share wisdom, collaborate, and inspire. The incredible lineup of speakers will include Winona LaDuke, Terry Tempest Williams, Linda Black Elk, Rosemary Gladstar, and Leah Penniman as keynotes, plus dozens of brilliant, inspiring women who are changing paradigms and establishing new paths forward with the Earth."
