Mary Peabody is the director of the Women’s Agricultural Network, as well as the UVM Extension Specialist in Community Resources and Economic Development. Mary has been with UVM Extension since 1988, although she has held several different positions during that period. She received both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from UVM and is currently working towards her Ph.D. in Leadership and Organizational Change through Walden University.

Her passions include growing things – both plants and animals, learning new skills, traveling, and teaching. Working as part of the WAgN team from its beginning is one of her proudest accomplishments. The people she has met through the program inspire her daily with their ongoing commitment to agriculture and community building.
