Nicole Capizzi

SCC Representative to Puget Sound Meat Producers Cooperative

Nicole is a farmer and entrepreneur who founded Amaranth Urban Farm, a commercial farm in Seattle that produces organic vegetables and honey in the city and markets through CSA and direct sales. She has developed urban farm businesses in Seattle and Milwaukee, Wisconsin and worked as a program director, researcher and educator for Washington State University Extension, University of Wisconsin Extension, and the Prairie Crossing Farm to demonstrate intensive small scale farm business development and organic production techniques.

She is excited to be a part of the Seattle Chef's Collaborative and the thriving food community in Seattle and also is active with the King County Agriculture Commission, Tilth Producers of Washington, and a variety of food systems and integrated urban agriculture projects. When she's not hoeing a hard row, Nicole is on a road or mountain bike with her husband, Kyle, or enjoying the company of her family (canine and human) and friends in town over a walk and a great meal.
