Living in Washington State all my life, my love for Wilcox
Farms started at an early age. At school
and at home Wilcox was always on the menu.
Some of my fondest memories of the Puyallup Fair were in the Wilcox dairy
barn. Like many of you, I was a diehard chocolate
milk fan. My father’s reward system when
I was a good kid was a milkshake with vanilla bean ice cream and Wilcox
chocolate milk. When I was in high
school my mother started working for the farm and my first question was: When do
we get free samples? My mother explained
how the farm was getting into organics and cage free eggs. I was fascinated hearing her stories and
inspired by the farms’ forward thinking.
While in college studying marketing, I had the opportunity to work for
the farm as a merchandiser in Oregon. This
is where I got the nickname ‘Egglady’ from a Costco manager. After college, I broadened my experience
working for another natural consumer goods company. In the back of my mind, I always felt my contribution to the farm was not complete. I’ve
been back with Wilcox since 2012, continuing my life as Egglady.
