Cindy
Dvergsten
is available as a speaker
and workshop leader.
She also provides training and mentoring via her distance learning program.
Cindy has been involved in farming her entire life, learning tricks of the trade from her Grandfather on their farm in Minnesota. She would help him pick raspberries, strawberries and other produce to sell at their roadside stand just off of Highway 101 in Minnetonka.
Unfortunately, the old farms are long gone, replaced by freeways, homes, office building and shopping centers and traffic jams.
Cindy is a Holistic Management Certified Educator. She holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Natural Resource Management & Soil Science from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
She has worked for several government agencies including the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service.
Cindy is active in her community having served 14 years on the Montezuma County Planning Commission and currently is a member of the San Juan Resource Conservation & Development Council.
She donates time and resources to assist Navajo sheep producers in their endeavors to be sustainable.
She is a skillful trainer
and mentor.
