Tammy Kimbler

Minneapolis in body, California in spirit, Tammy Kimbler comes to agriculture through the arts, holding degrees in theater, film, and television production. Before joining The Land Institute, she worked on the brand experience team at Cascadian Farm Organic, leading the launch of the first nationally released breakfast cereal made with Kernza® perennial grain, raising awareness of climate-beneficial ingredients. At The Land Institute, she leads the Communications program, translating ambitious ideas and urgent issues to grow the perennial movement. Tammy also oversees the fundraising Development team, helping inspire deep personal investment in The Land Institute’s work to transform agriculture, repair the planet, and feed people. 

My most perennial trait is abundance—I cultivate a pollinator-friendly food forest in my backyard and grow more tomatoes than pantry can handle.
