Audrey Tehan

Executive Director

Audrey Tehan founded the Seed to Table program in 2013. Audrey was born and raised in Sisters and comes from a family of ranchers and farmers. Growing food using practices that sustain both our natural resources and our community have always been an important aspect of Audrey's life. After high school she worked on multiple organic farms in the US and abroad. She graduated from Southern Oregon University with a degree in Environmental Studies, focusing on Politics and Conservation Biology.

Inolving kids in education beyond the classroom has also been at the forefront of Audrey's focus as she has worked with kids and adults in experiential education for the past 12 years. Audrey's studies and farming experiences reinforced her belief that being involved in growing food can be a pathway to living long, healthy lives and connecting with those around us. Audrey is passionate about the Sisters community, and has had a life long aspiration to start the Seed to Table Farm in Sisters. She is excited to be serving her community in this way, and looks forward to connecting with you across a row of veggies in the garden!

Hannah Joseph

Programs Director

Food is at the center of Hannah’s life - the way she builds community and makes sense of the world. Hannah (she/her) holds that food is at the intersection of every social justice issue, and believes that through food education, we can leverage real change in our communities. 

Hannah grew up in Spokane, Washington and recently returned to the Northwest after spending time on the east coast. Hannah taught gardening and cooking at public elementary schools in New York City. The success of these programs hinged on community trust, engagement, and joy. She loves seeing curiosity in students - young and old - when seeing the garden grow or tasting an unfamiliar food for the first time. Many of her classes in the garden and kitchen sparked connections between students’ new experiences and their home cultures. Hannah believes food educators have the opportunity to highlight community knowledge. Hannah is thrilled to contribute to the Seed to Table team and to learn from the Central Oregon community - working towards a more just food system.

Linda Vigliotti

Treasurer

Retired- Global Account Manager

Linda retired to Sisters in 2021 after 30 years in the apparel industry, global sales and owning a small business. After witnessing the hard work being done at the farm, Linda found herself wanting to engage more with the Seed to Table organization. Embracing S2T’s mission of working with the community to provide education and fresh local foods, she is ready to roll up her sleeves as a board member. Linda believes that an understanding of nutrition and good food should start at an early age. If our youth have fun learning about planting, harvesting and eating nourishing vegetables, they have a great start towards a healthy future.
