Shonie studied local food systems at The Evergreen State College, got her fingernails dirty at Common Ground CSA Farm for three years, and produced the Thurston County Direct Sales Farm Map for five years. Her dedication to sustainable, equitable food systems that keep local family farms in business is put to good use with the Sustainable Connections Food and Farming Program and in all those "what's for dinner" decisions. When not obsessing about food, Shonie explores the beaches, mountains, and music venues of Whatcom County, commutes by bike, and embarks on mini-adventures around the state.
