Meet our Staff
Carol Linnebur (she/her)
Manager for Business, Grants, & Financial Relations, FFTFG Sponsorships & Sales Growing up in Iowa, I experienced the passion and hard work my Mom and Dad and family invested in the land on our family farm. I feel privileged to now work with so many farmers in the South Sound area with the same commitment to their land. Some of my favorite experiences with my husband and son in the Pacific Northwest have been enjoying the beauty of our surroundings and finding new foods and products from our local farms and farmers markets.

Natalie Martzolf (she/her)
Outreach & Office Coordinator, Managing Editor of FFTFG I am a homesteader striving to focus my time and money on our local community. Working for CFLT keeps my mind sharp while fulfilling my desire to give back to our farmers, land, and in turn our ecosystem. I enjoy hiking, backpacking, and connecting with my amazing community of friends.

Jeanine Toth (she/her)
Development Manager, Editor in Chief of FFTFG I have worked in non-profits for over 20 years and have dedicated the last 7 years to farming organizations. I believe in a fresh and healthy local food system where everyone has access! I've never met a fried radish I didn't like. I'm an aspiring metal artist handcrafting jewelry and embarking on a journey of taking a deeper dive into this craft. I love cooking and sharing food with friends. Enjoying all the incredible bounty of the PNW, from the water to the mountains to the farmers' fields, is my happy place.
