The Mother Nature Network has released a list of the top farmers in the country under the age of 40, and Hazon’s Emily Jane Freed is recognized for her work, passion and commitment to sustainable farming practices and community outreach. Emily, who is the Assistant Production Manager for Jacobs Farms in Pescadero (northern California), comes in at #13 on the list, which, according to MNN, is compiled “with help from dozens of people in the farming industry — from farmers themselves to those who help them in the nonprofit sector to those in the media who cover them.”

Also on the list are former Hazon staffers Rachel Kaplan (#27) and Anna Stevenson (#36), who have continued their careers working to provide Americans with sustainable and healthy food choices.

Mazel Tov to Emily, Rachel, and Anna for being recognized for their work helping to improve food systems and sustainability throughout North America.
