Nicole Jones
For Nicole Jones, agriculture isn’t a career — it’s a calling. She grew up in the industry, starting 4-H at age five showing dairy cattle and serving as a dairy ambassador — the beginning of a lifelong commitment to the land. That passion carried her through over five years as an agriculture educator and FFA advisor before joining Skagit Farmers Supply, where she leads the Country Store Academy workshop series. A working farmer herself, Nicole brings both classroom expertise and boots-on-the-ground experience to every program she builds.
