Communications Associate

email: me[at]ofrf.org

Mary Elizabeth Kidd (she/her) has spent the last 15 years in marketing and communications focused on local food and farming. Her driving passion is connecting people to food and one another with the goal of strengthening communities and deepening our relationship with the earth. Mary Elizabeth (aka M.E.) has a robust background in achieving business goals for local food leaders. She got her start promoting locally owned restaurants and supporting community food events before spending 5+ years in digital marketing, supporting multi-unit restaurants and consumer packaged goods (CPG). She then served as Georgia Organics’ Communications Director, connecting farmers with the resources, peer networks, and other key stakeholders to drive their success and growth. Beyond the desk, she’s gotten her hands dirty working on organic farms, urban farms, and at Atlanta farmers markets, staying closely connected to the everyday rhythms of growing and sharing good food. M.E. is committed to OFRF’s mission to foster the improvement and widespread adoption of organic farming systems and believes in the power of organic farmers to steward our earth and feed their neighbors. When she’s not focused on storytelling and resource-sharing for farmers, you can find her walking her Great Pyrenees, George, and playing the harp in hospitals as part of a therapeutic music program.
