As our most senior employee (starting all the way back in 2011) Mary has held a few different job titles, but currently she is our Seed Inventory Manager. Her favorite thing about working at Sow True Seed is being able to see the beautifully diverse shapes, sizes, and colors of seeds. When she’s not at work marveling at seeds you can usually find her walking her dog Trix, taking care of her flower garden, out birdwatching, or partaking in various creative pursuits. 

Brooke works as our Warehouse Operations Manager and has been with Sow True Seed since 2017. Brooke loves working for Sow True Seed knowing we are supplying valuable seeds all over the country! Brooke didn’t know the value of open-pollinated seeds when she first started or even how to grow from seed but the knowledge she’s gained goes beyond her work, giving her a sense of pride. Brooke spends as much of her time as she can riding her bike, rafting, skiing, and traveling across the country. 

Elsa is our Finance Manager and has been with Sow True Seed since 2018. Her favorite part about working for Sow True Seed is getting to collaborate with a team of stellar people!

She also enjoys exploring new hiking trails and swimming holes with her family and two rescue pups.

Chloe is our Wholesale Manager and Creative Director, and has been with Sow True since 2019.

She is obsessed with anything mustard colored, has an unrelenting love for art history, and loves to explore the Appalachian mountains with her pup, Cooper.

If you get a phone call or an email from Sow True Seed, it’s probably Hannah on the other end of the line.

Hannah’s non-gardening related passions include cooking elaborate meals, making stained glass, and taking on overzealous DIY projects armed only with the raw confidence to complete them. Hannah writes many of our wonderful blog posts. Read their author bio!
