Tessa Parks

Conservation Program Coordinator, Agricultural Practices (she/they)

Tessa Parks is the Conservation Program Coordinator for Agricultural Practices. She graduated from St. Olaf College with a degree in Chemistry and has worked locally at Imminent Brewing, Keepsake Cidery, and Aurora Pharmaceutical. Before coming to CRP, she worked as an organic certification specialist and inspector. In 2021, she and her spouse, Wyatt, started their farm, W.T. Farms, where they raise beef and certified organic hay in the Northfield area. When she isn't in the office, with the herd, or her two dogs, Tessa can be found advocating for farmers in her role as Rice County Farmers Union President.
