Vital Farmers: katie & lachelle

Meet the farmers

Katie and Lachelle are two of Vital Farms’ many farmers who are changing the landscape of the agricultural playing field.

Both are overwhelmingly passionate about animal welfare and dedicated to bringing ethical food to the table.

The Women of Vital Farms

When it comes to raising standards, we don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk! See a few ways we’re changing the way the game is played on our field.

“As a wife, mother, and female leader at Vital Farms, I’ve been allowed a platform to balance my core values in a supportive environment.  It’s incredibly empowering to work for a company that values my contributions, while understanding the importance of my priorities at home.  I love that I can lead with purpose and inspire other women to reach their full potential here at Vital Farms. I make a meaningful impact each day, while proudly modeling to my children how to pursue their dreams.”

— Jehan Palomares, Senior Director, Grocery West

“My roots run deep in farming and agriculture; I always knew that I wanted a career working for the greater good of farmers. Sometimes, as a woman in this industry, it can be challenging.  Vital Farms has supported me in my role and allowed me to spread my wings in a career that I’m passionate about!”

— Autumn King, Director of Farm & Feed Mill Compliance

“Reese Witherspoon said, “if you are one of those people who has that little voice in the back of her mind saying, ‘maybe i could do [fill in the blank],’ don’t tell it to be quiet. give it a little room to grow, and try to find an environment it can grow in.” Vital Farms is that environment for me.”

— Cortney Chaffin, Production Manager

“Vital Farms has a very large portion of leadership roles filled by women. It isn’t limited to specific departments or areas, but throughout the whole organization including Egg Central Station. It’s pretty neat to have such a large community of professional women to engage with and learn from. They are all so supportive and willing to mentor, or even to just be available as a thought partner. With my skillset falling into a more technical role, I am often the only female in the room. Throughout my career, I have felt like I couldn’t voice my opinion in group settings, or that my opinion would be dismissed. But with my team here at Vital Farms, I feel like my feedback valued and my voice is heard.”

— Kyla Patterson, CI & Training Manager
