Changing The Game on Every Field

WALKING THE WALK

The women of Vital Farms are changing the way the game is played on our field.

The Women’s Committee is dedicated to fostering connections, driving professional and personal development, and supporting women’s mentorship.

Girls on Grass is the first stop for crewmembers who identify as female, and allies, to join an inclusive and supportive group of people across the organization. Our mission is to create opportunities for women and allies to connect and forge meaningful relationships in a safe and collaborative space. We are committed to empowering personal and professional growth through opportunities for social connection, discussions on unique issues women face in the workplace, and educational forums like guest speakers and panel discussions.

Our leaders represent our crew, so it just makes sense that they should look like them too. We’re proud of our gender-balanced board (which you can read more about here) and our gender-balanced senior leadership team.

Talking the Talk

Jehan Palomares, Senior Director, Grocery West

“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.”
Autumn King, Director of Farm & Feed Mill Compliance

“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!”
Cortney Chaffin, Production Manager

“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.”
Kyla Patterson, CI & Training 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 is valued and my voice is heard.”
