Cindy Conner

Cindy Conner founded Homeplace Earth to help people develop skills to live lightly in this world.  She is working to promote local sustainable food systems.  Since we all eat, we are all responsible for how the earth is used to produce our food.   As a market gardener for 10 years, selling to restaurants, a CSA, and at farmers markets, Cindy recognized that a farmer could be organic and still not be sustainable.  Her study of sustainability led her to become certified as an Ecology Action GROW BIOINTENSIVE Sustainable Mini-farming teacher.  She also holds a degree in Home Economics Education from Ohio State University and a Certificate in Permaculture Design.  Cindy was instrumental in establishing the Sustainable Agriculture program at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College where she taught from 1999 to 2010.  Her time is now spent researching how to sustainably grow a complete diet in a small space and get the food to the table using the least fossil fuel.
