Her toolbox includes: Innovation Workshops,Leadership Retreats, Design Labs, and Improv-Based Consumer Studies. In 2003 Pam set out to grow half the food she and her husband eat. Fast forward a decade and she’s well beyond that goal with her one-acre organic farm. She also teaches organic farming and is Farm Correspondent for Edible Magazine. Pam co-directs her family foundation through which she and her husband place big bets on and advise a handful of organizations making radical strides in public education in the U.S. and abroad.
