Stacy Whitman co-founded Local Food Alliance in 2014 out of a desire to improve community food and health.

After moving to the Wood River Valley in 2003, she worked as senior editor at Sun Valley Magazine. Stacy began working to improve the food environment in our local schools after becoming a mom. She directed operations and communications at Nurture, a non-profit dedicated to educating kids, families and the community about making healthy food choices and physical activity. She served as program assistant for Community Food Systems and Sustainable Agriculture at University of Idaho. Originally from the coast of New Jersey, Stacy earned a B.A. from Middlebury College and studied journalism at University of California, Berkeley. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, running, reading, and spending time with her family.
