Fiscal Affairs Coordinator

Ana has been working with SRSC since Fall 2020. She has adored plants her entire life and over the past 2 decades has fully dedicated her career to them wherever she ends up residing. She is currently our only fully remote employee!

She is originally from Ohio and went to Kent State University for her Bachelor's Degree in Conservation Biology. She worked for the National Park Service, Peace Corps and Forest Service before deciding to leave the federal government behind. She utilizes this background as a superpower navigating the many bureaucratic hoops that come with running a Cooperative.

Though her heart is, at its core, in Ohio, she has adored getting to know the native plants of Idaho since moving here in 2016. She is currently converting most of her yard to Intermountain West Native plants!

With the rest of her time, she is a mama to her daughter Lupine and dogs Speckle & Rupert, an enthusiastic baker/home chef and is currently doing an enormous amount of watercolor painting. Keep an eye out for her watercolors on our social media!

General Manager (aka CEO) / Education & Outreach Coordinator

Casey co-founded SRSC in 2014 as a seed of hope for a better way of feeding ourselves and doing business. She is thrilled to be working for the Co-op once again in a capacity that allows her to combine her passion for education & sharing the wonders of seeds with the community with her love of mucking around inside beautiful, squirrelly projects for which there isn't a blueprint. Dreaming & scheming with a community of curious, wicked-smart, deeply caring people is at the top of her list of life loves, just below apprenticing herself to the complex wonders of the natural world and basking in their intrigue...so she feels incredibly lucky to have landed here. 

Casey is a Cultivating Success Farmer Mentor and holds a Standard Occupational Specialist Certificate for horticulture education in Idaho, as well as a Masters of Natural Resources in Environmental Education and Science Communication. She is also a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide, and a lover of moss.

Marketing, Events & Social Media Coordinator

Lesley has lived in Boise since she was just a wee girl back in the 1980s when Alf was on tv and Lisa Frank was on pencil cases. She went away for college but eventually found her way back home and lucked into owning a couple of acres with her husband in Garden City. In 2019 she started growing seed for SRSC, (Quel Ranch in Garden City!) and then in 2025 she joined the team as the Marketing/Events Assistant and Social Media Coordinator. 

With a degree in English and minors in Women’s Studies and Publishing & Printing Arts, she now fills her days taking care of her goats, chickens, cats, and seed crops, as well as making stained glass and handmade oddities that she sells at local markets. She enjoys foraging for mushrooms and huckleberries in the mountains and often gets distracted by pretty rocks, little bugs, and acorn caps.

She makes delicious bread and enjoys kickboxing, playing word games, and taking photos of insects.

Seed Scientist

Originally from Denver, CO, Meg spent a good part of her childhood exploring the urban wilderness close to home. When her family moved to Boise in the early 90s, she and her siblings began taking art and craft classes through the Community Ed program, and Meg continued to grow her artistic skills throughout junior high and high school. Meg graduated from the College of Idaho with a bachelor's degree in Fine Art and Graphic Design.

After many years working as a web, graphic, and interface designer, Meg decided it was time to get back into nature. She joined the Ada County Master Gardener program in 2012 and has continued to this day, with the purpose of deepening her knowledge of our ecosystem and educating the public to help them with their own gardens. 

Meg wants to inspire people to grow - whether it’s growing their own garden, growing their knowledge and appreciation of native plants or growing as conscientious stewards of the Earth. Through art, photography, and crafting, she loves to engage with curious and compassionate people to share the magic of plants and nature.

Meg joined the Snake River Seeds team in 2025, and is excited to learn more about the process of preserving seeds on a large scale and for a greater purpose. 

Finance & Inventory Manager

Reiley started working with Snake River Seed Co-op in 2016 as a seed packer. She is now a proud co-owner of the cooperative! Reiley loves working with seeds and data, so she is fanatical about seed data! She uses her experience as a small scale seed farmer to assist the Co-op's growers and to ensure we have the highest quality seed possible. In her spare time, she enjoys creating and burning art, playing with her kiddo, gardening, and camping.
