Trained by Baystate Organic Certifiers to educate farmers, Laura has attended additional training through IOIA – The International Organic Inspectors Association and became an Organic Inspector in 2015. Processing training enabled Laura to inspect handlers as well as crops in 2017.

Laura and her husband Donald Sutherland have two high school age daughters that have enjoyed many NOFA Summer Conferences.
