Executive Director
Cynthia Krepky
An Ohio native, Cynthia has lived and worked in Washington for 30 years. She received a BS in Botany, an MPA in Public Administration, and an Executive MBA certificate from the University of Washington. A technical communications professional, Cynthia worked for Metro, Microsoft, and had her own company. In 2000, with her husband, David, she started Dog Mountain Farm in Carnation to satisfy her passion for agriculture and education. Cynthia is a founding member of Sno-Valley Tilth and the Slow Food Sno-Valley convivium, and a former King County Master Gardener.

Agriculture Program Director
Tierney Creech
Tierney grew up in Redmond WA and graduated with a degree in Psychology and Environmental Studies from Western Washington University in Bellingham. She then went on to work in residential camping programs, spending several years as the Assistant Summer Director at YMCA Camp Orkila. In 2007, on a crazy hunch that she might like farming, she decided to move to New Zealand and become a traveling farm volunteer. Lo and behold, she loved it! Since then she has earned her Permaculture Design Certificate from both the Australian and U.S. Institutes, and farmed in SW Washington. She is excited to return to the greater Seattle area and combine her love of farming with her love of teaching.
