Our Board
ELIZABETH NYMAN
Board Member
Elizabeth Nyman, also called Liz, was born and raised in central Illinois just outside of St Louis. While she left rural life to ultimately go after a tech career, she was pulled back by the challenge of bringing jobs and people to farm country. Working as a data engineer pays her bills. Finding tech solutions and economic opportunities for the rural economy fuels her after hours. She started Farmfront with the hopes of bringing jobs and people to farming. She would like to talk to you about beer and knitting while making you a food and farming advocate.
MEAGAN BRYANT
Board Member
Meagan Bryant is a native of Virginia but went out west to California to pursue her degree in Intercultural Communications at Pepperdine University. After college she began working for a non-profit dedicated to veterans and first responders in California before ultimately getting involved in the tech industry and relocating to St. Louis, where she now calls home. Meagan grew up in a military family and has always been an agricultural hobbyist, both of which drew her into the mission of Farmfront. In her spare time you can most likely find her adventuring outdoors with her three dogs, on a motorcycle, or on a horse.
STEPHANIE STEWART

Stephanie Stewart, better known as Stevi, is originally from Southern Illinois. She came to Western Kentucky to get a Bachelors Degree in Agribusiness, from Murray State University and decided to stay in Kentucky.
