Our Family of Seeds

Cassie was introduced to the importance of local food as a member of the Earthly Delights CSA program beginning in 2016. She became so passionate about seed sovereignty and the local food system that she decided to take a break from life as a Montessori preschool teacher to work with seeds! She does a little bit of everything in our office, including inventory, germination testing, seed packing, and order fulfillment. Though she has no agricultural or farming experience, she has learned so much since joining the team, and looks forward to learning more every day.

Inventory Manager

Nell loves seeds and seedy people! She’s been growing things all her life: not only plants, but a couple of awesome kids, and a pretty badass sourdough starter named “Hank.”

Nell served as the first ever Nursery and Greenhouse Coordinator at the Idaho Botanical Garden and invested her heart and soul into establishing its successful greenhouse program. At IBG, she grew thousands of plants annually for garden use and plant sales. She now brings her organizational and horticultural skills to the new position of Inventory Manager for Snake River Seeds.

Nell fondly remembers packing seeds for Earthly Delights Farm as an intern in 2013, and she and her husband, Eric, were early supporters of the Commonwealth Seed Library. She is thrilled that these endeavors have grown into the Snake River Seed Co-op, and grateful to have the opportunity to put hands, head, and heart into furthering this mission. She’s also a volunteer with the Golden Eagle Audubon Society’s native plant production team, working to restore habitat along the Boise River.

Nell is also passionate about baking and the importance of botanical names.
