Katie Reuther
Research and Radio Intern (she/her)
Katie grew up on a small farm in the Green Mountains of Vermont and received her B.A. in Neuroscience from Middlebury College. As a young professional in the food system, Katie has held a variety of jobs, ranging from coordinating a county-wide gleaning program to apprenticing at a nonprofit organic vegetable farm to making chocolate at a single origin bean-to-bar chocolate company. Before going back to school to get her M.A. in Food Studies at Chatham University, she conducted research in China on organic agriculture through a Fulbright grant. After returning to the U.S., Katie created and produced an interview collection with Asian American farmers that is archived at the Library of Congress. Her work, which examines identity through the lens of food, centers on ideas of community, belonging, and home.
