Speaker Bio
As the managing partner for both Seeds by Design and Terra
Organics, Patty oversees of all the day to day administration,
research, development, marketing and production activities. She began her journey in the seed industry in 1981 as a squash breeders assistant in Chico, California where she also attended CSU Chico as an Agronomy and Ag Business student. She is a California native and always knew as a teenager that she wanted to work in Agriculture. After college, she accepted a position in Gilroy as an assistant brassica breeder. She moved back home to Northern California in 1989, to start a family and continue her seed breeding career. In 1994, she and a few partners started Seeds by Design. Now, after being employed in the seed industry for almost 40 years, she considers herself very lucky to have the opportunity that my career was blessed in such a friendly, family-based industry.
