Duskie Estes Announces Planned Departure as Executive Director of Farm to Pantry

After nearly 4 years of dedicated service, Duskie Estes has made the heartfelt decision to step down from her role, effective February 29, 2024. Estes leaves behind a legacy of transformative accomplishments during her tenure. Under Duskie's leadership, Farm to Pantry experienced almost unimaginable growth: gleans were expanded from less than 100 per year to an impressive 1,200 and properties went from 40 glean sites in 2019 to over 350 in 2023. The organization's impact skyrocketed with food donations escalating from 75,000 pounds in 2019 to an astounding 400,000 pounds annually for the past four years. Estes' unwavering dedication and ceaseless energy pushed the boundaries of what a small nonprofit with only a handful of employees can accomplish; she has ensured that MORE of Sonoma County's abundance was able to reach MORE families in need.

Estes reflected on her time stating, "Over the past four years, I have been inspired by the commitment of our volunteer gleaners to give of themselves and the willingness of our local growers and farmers to share their bounty-- so that others can eat good food. It has been a privilege to see kids discovering and loving nutritious produce and to have my 'office' be beautiful Sonoma County. Fighting food injustice has always been a part of who I am and what I do. As I begin a new chapter, it will remain part of my core, only now, I will be supporting from the sidelines as a coach and as the LOUDEST cheerleader for food justice you ever heard! I am grateful for being a part of this mighty collective effort to ensure no one goes hungry when we are surrounded by abundance."

Farm to Pantry expresses deep gratitude for Duskie's passionate leadership and outstanding contributions, and the Board of Directors and staff wish her the very best in future endeavors. Farm to Pantry will continue to collaborate with Duskie as they actualize their mission to bring together our communities to end food injustice.

Nightingale Breads in forestville is gift to sonoma county
- our BLT has always been served on this sliced seeded sourdough.
Part of the reason I make jelly, is to make Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches.
Come to forestville , it’s worth the drive.

An ode to the humble PB&J. A sandwich I'm rediscovering now that I'm a parent of a toddler. I get it know - the convenience of sliced bread (our sliced seeded sourdough picture here) with these two ingredients in between is a total lunchtime game-changer. Simple, nostalgic, and " yummmmmmm' " - as my daughter would say.

Last weekend, Chef Duskie was honored at the NorCal - Public Media Food & Wine Awards for her work in the community as the Executive Director at Farm to Pantry ❤️

Farm to Pantry rescues food and gets it to those in our community who are hungry. Since 2008, Farm to Pantry has delivered over 5 million servings of nutritious, locally-grown produce that might otherwise have gone to waste. They help struggling small farms, build community gardens, and train volunteers about gleaning, gardening, and feeding their community.

Chef Duskie became Farm to Pantry's Executive Director after two decades of dedication to ethical sourcing and advocacy for small farmers at Zazu Kitchen + Farm and Black Pig Meat Co.

Congratulations to Chef Duskie and her whole team at Farm to Pantry for this honor! 🎉
