The Crew

Since the inception of Battenkill Wholesome Foods, Leslie has been involved in all aspects of the operation, baking all the products with the help of her great team as well all the other aspects of owning and running a small business. Producing healthy food for people is the most gratifying part of the business for her! Before BWF, Leslie was a political organizer in NYC in the anti-Iraq war movement and an administrator in a college for massage therapy and acupuncture. She has a strong commitment to social change and is currently active with Bennington County Indivisible and with supporting Afghan refugees in Bennington.

DONNA MEYER

Donna is does it all! She and Leslie do the production together and then Donna gets it all packaged by hand! Conveniently, she lives down the street with her daughter, Aya, having moved to Vermont in 2021. She has a vintage business called Hens Feathers. Check out the cool stuff she finds!
