Caroline Craven, B.Sc., N.E.

president, Farmosa Farms

Caroline has been directly affected by nutrition for the past six years after she was stricken and diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.  With a year of learning how to walk and live again, she became more aware about nutrition and how it affects her health and her new life.  Caroline has been in executive business for over 15 years.  With a focus in marketing and operations, Caroline watched several companies grow ten fold.  Going public was just part of the daily grind.  Work was life and life was work.  Luckily she spent her spare time training horses, kayaking, river-guiding, running, skiing, hiking, rock-climbing and doing yoga.  She also ate relatively healthy and had just started to learn more about nutrition through friends and family.  So, when the MS hit, through hard work, she was able to come back strong.  But it’s a daily battle to keep her health on track.

It is this direct relationship with nutrition, along with her studies in Nutrition Education, which gives Caroline her edge on the disease.  Partnering this experience with her Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Business Management from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Caroline provides a wealth of knowledge and hands on experience.
