Tina Landin’s earliest food memories include picking raspberries, collecting fresh eggs from her grandmother’s chicken coop, and maintaining her own small vegetable garden as a kid. Through all of these experiences she built an appreciation for the labor of love that is sourcing fresh ingredients.

Later, during a career in public education, she developed a passion for being involved in positive learning environments and for sharing the joy of learning in community. When she’s not keeping the Pantry’s kitchens in order, you’ll find her at the dog park, walking in the woods, weeding in her garden, or lying on a yoga mat.
