Sami joined the team at Johnny's Selected Seeds as the Territory Sales Representative for Central and Southern California and Hawai'i in 2022.
Originally from Northern California, Sami found her way to agriculture by following her passion for food. Upon completing her Master's degree in Food Culture and Communications, she sought a hands-on learning experience at a small-scale diversified farm. After her first farmhand experience, she knew farming was something worth dedicating her life to. In the years that followed, Sami traveled around the States and Europe, working for various small-scale vegetable operations, fruit farms, and vineyards. Equipped with a background straddling the agriculture and wine industries, having worked in both growing and sales, she now brings these combined experiences and expertise to Johnny's.
As a California grower, Sami is passionate about climate-resilient farming practices that enhance soil health and water security. She enjoys collaborating with many players to support and create thriving regional food systems. She is excited to work with the farmers in her territory to find the appropriate varieties and tools to support their unique farming operations.

Kim began working at Johnny's in 2019 in the Customer Care Department, joined the Commercial Sales Team in 2020 as a Sales Support Specialist, and has quickly advanced to the role of Territory Sales Representative for Canada.
Originally from Oklahoma, Kim spent 20 years in Dallas, Texas before moving to Maine with her husband in 2013, seeking a change of pace, less concrete, and more woods.

Dana has spent the last 15 years working and studying in the field of sustainable agriculture. After completing his undergraduate degree in plant and soil science, he spent years working on vegetable farms of all scales, starting as an intern on a 2-acre farm in the Vermont mountains and later serving as crop manager at a 160-acre farm in Minnesota. He then earned his Master's degree in horticulture from Iowa State University, where he conducted research on reduced tillage systems for organic vegetable production.
After finishing graduate school in 2015, Dana started his own farm business — Sogn Valley Farm, a certified organic vegetable farm and plant nursery near Northfield, Minnesota. He and his wife have owned and operated the farm for the past 7 years and still live there with their 2 young children. After years producing diversified vegetables for farmers' markets and a CSA program, the farm now specializes in wholesale peppers.
A loyal Johnny's customer for over a decade, Dana is grateful for the opportunity to join the Commercial Sales team and help growers in his region find the seeds, tools, and supplies they need for their farms to thrive.

Originally from Michigan, Dana has over a decade of experience on diversified fruit and vegetable farms. She earned an undergraduate degree in journalism and math from the University of Rochester before getting the agricultural bug. She started apprenticing on organic vegetable farms around the country and eventually managed a 10-acre vegetable farm in Columbus, Ohio. Dana went on to earn a Master's degree from Ohio State in Horticulture and Crop Science in 2019, studying high tunnel winter lettuce growing methods.

In 2019, Dana began her own 3-acre no-till farm outside of Columbus, where she grows vegetables year-round and raspberries during the summer. She's been a Johnny's customer since the beginning of her farming career and jumped at the opportunity to join a company with such high quality and customer care standards.

Lauren has joined the team at Johnny's as the Mid-Atlantic Seaboard, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky Sales Representative.
Lauren grew up gardening with her father in their home garden in Coshocton, Ohio. She attended Denison University and double-majored in International Relations and German. After graduation, Lauren served in the Peace Corps in Mitsinjo, Madagascar, where she first began to understand the importance of women, farming, health, and the power of seeds.
She determined then she would pursue this passion and curiosity, and has been farming ever since. After WWOOFing in Argentina and California she landed her first job as a farm assistant at Heirloom Harvest in Massachusetts. She then went West to pursue a Montessori model of goat farming and vegetable production for middle school students in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she met, married, and began farming in tandem with her chef husband.
The couple then moved to SingleThread Farms in Healdsburg, California, where he worked in the kitchen and she managed the farm. They next spent time in Big Sur, California in a similar farmer-chef relationship, and moved to Tennessee in the middle of 2020, where Lauren managed a 20-acre organic CSA farm outside of Nashville.
Lauren is also a trained Hoshindo apitherapist as well as a certified Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist. Her healing arts practice has developed in partnership with her growing practice.Current Sales Territory

Amy brings to the team a wealth of experience and working familiarity with Johnny's varieties from having fulfilled a series of roles within our Contact Center and the Albion Research & Trialing Farm. While at Johnny's Research Farm, she acquired hands-on experience spanning our entire seed-production process — from starting crops in the greenhouse, transplanting, and cultivating to harvesting, sluicing, and cleaning seeds. This past experience has given her insight into and appreciation for crops not only for the edible harvest they provide, but also for their seed potential.
Amy possesses deep working knowledge accrued by running her own homestead farm, as well. With the goal of meeting her family's needs to every extent possible, she engages in year-round production of vegetables, fruit, and free-range livestock. She looks forward to connecting with commercial growers throughout her territory.

Emma grew up farming in Western Massachusetts and graduated from UMass Amherst with a degree in Plant, Soil, and Insect Sciences, with a concentration in sustainable horticulture. She most recently managed her family's diversified produce farm.
As a farmer and member of the agricultural community, Emma understands the small details involved in selecting the right varieties, and how individualized that process and its outcome can be to different growers. She enjoys trialing new selections and assessing their use in varied settings.
Emma adds, "Through my work on my own family's farm I have learned the most from running our own trials, selecting the best varieties for our particular needs, and discovering what will taste best and serve our customers best. I've enjoyed this not only because it is fun and the variation in cultivars is endlessly fascinating, but also because the pursuit of excellence reflects a commitment to doing our best by the community we feed, employ, and thereby strengthen. My goal is now to apply that mindset to my territory; whereas my farm and my valley were my prior focus, all the farmers and growers of Southern New England are now my people. I feel a strong sense of responsibility for the advice I give and the success of individuals and food systems here. I can't quite believe my luck in joining Johnny's to share in the common pursuit of service and excellence."

Growing up on his grandfather’s farm in rural South Georgia, Kyle developed a deep connection with the land from an early age. Working alongside his great-grandmother in her vegetable gardens and flower beds, he learned invaluable lessons about nurturing both plants and relationships. This early immersion in agriculture led him to pursue a degree in Horticulture from the University of Georgia, laying the foundation for his future career. His agricultural journey expanded to Johnny’s backyard when he worked at Turner Farm, an organic farm on the coast of Maine, where he honed his skills in growing vegetables, herbs, and cut flowers while gaining a deeper appreciation for sustainable farming practices.
Kyle’s path eventually led him to the foothills of the Southern Appalachians in Greenville, SC, where he dedicated himself to strengthening local food systems through his work with both, for-profit and non-profit food hubs. Now, as Southeast Territory Sales Rep for Johnny’s, he combines his passion for agriculture with his commitment to supporting growers throughout the region. When not traveling to meet with farmers or attending agricultural conferences, Kyle can be found spending time outdoors, dancing around the kitchen to his favorite house music while cooking, dreaming up his next travel adventure, or simply enjoying the quiet moments that remind him why he fell in love with all-things nature.
