Natasha Mortenson | Community Relations and Education, Riverview, LLP
About the Speaker.
Natasha Mortenson grew up on a small crop farm in West Central Minnesota. Currently, Natasha lives in rural Swift County, along with her husband Matt and two children, Grace and Cowan. They are all involved in their small-scale cow/calf Registered Simmental herd and show cattle projects. They also crop-farm and they have ownership in Riverview, LLP, and Wulf Cattle; a dairy and beef company. Natasha is also employed with Riverview LLP focusing on community relations, social media, communications, and various regional opportunities with the farm. Natasha has a passion and deep respect for both small-scale and large-scale agricultural production, which provides an interesting perspective on food and agriculture. The disconnect between food growers and food eaters seems to get wider each day and Natasha is passionate about inspiring the farm and ranch community to share their stories in their own way. She believes this is the only way to create a bridge where productive conversations can happen.
Her involvement in FFA and 4-H all through her childhood ignited a passion for agriculture and teaching others about it. She graduated from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities with her B.S. and M.A. in Agricultural Education. She taught Agriculture and advised FFA Programming for 14 years in Morris, MN. In May 2014 Natasha began her work with Riverview LLP, in Morris, MN. Her passion is to promote Agriculture everywhere she is able, helping others find ways to connect their passion for agriculture with others and work with youth to build enthusiasm for agriculture.
Natasha works in a team to promote practices in agriculture on social platforms for Riverview and Wulf Cattle and on her own “Keepin’ It Rural”. Natasha dabbles in health and wellness, running, beekeeping, dark chocolate scavenging, and enjoys training groups on sharing their story through communication techniques and social media.
