President
Teva Youngblood
Teva and Barry, both combat veterans, have owned and operated Twisted Holly Reindeer Ranch in Rochester, WA since 2017. Looking for something different in the farming industry, they decided on Reindeers.
She also uses her farm to provide shelter to rescued Alpacas, working with Cross Creek Alpacas in Tenino. Recently, she added four of her very own to the farm and is excited to add Alpaca fiber to her offerings in the future.

Allyx Steffens
My "real" job is an autism coach, and the market is my hobby. Food sovereignty is essential to our community by making local foods accessible to vulnerable families. It's important for everyone to have fresh, local food that they don't have to drive to, or take an hour-long bus ride for.
