Carine comes from a long line of farmers in California and Southern France. In 2015 Carine and her husband, Robert, started Sun Tracker Farm in Yolo County’s Capay Valley. Sun Tracker Farm is a small organic farm that implements regenerative farming practices to grow annual fruits and vegetables and raise pastured poultry. In addition, Carine works for a non-profit organization, Kitchen Table Advisors, as a Farm Business Advisor. Carine helps small sustainable farms in Northern California achieve economic viability. Carine loves to write about the farming experience and writes a monthly column for the Napa Valley Register, “Pages from a Farmer”.

Wendi Moore
Board Member
Wendi is Community Engagement Coordinator for Adobe Services in Napa, part of a team that is working to end homelessness in our community. Her Napa Farmers Market roots sprouted 26 years ago when, new to town, she came to the market with her toddler in search of healthy veggies (and a break from the mundane) and discovered that its stalls held the best this Valley had to offer, and much more — nutrition education, ecology, art, small business incubation, community-connection and story time! She brings years of fundraising and board leadership experience. Wendi served on the Blue Oak School Board of Trustees for six years, three as chair; was board president of the St. Helena Cooperative Nursery School and of the Vichy Elementary School Parent Club. She is a UC Berkeley alum and earned her Masters in Latin American Studies from New York University.
