This month on Feeding Traditions, host Mary Jane Arnette sits down with Claire Hill, Executive Director of the Tennessee Farmers Co-op Foundation, whose work is centered around investing in the next generation of agricultural leaders.
From her own roots in FFA to her role today, Claire shares how her passion for serving others has shaped her career and continues to drive the mission of the foundation. Through programs like Round & Raise, Co-op scholarships, the Case Knife program, and Auction Barn, she gives insight into how the Co-op is supporting youth, strengthening communities, and making a lasting impact across Tennessee—including stepping in to support disaster relief efforts when communities need it most.
Claire also offers a behind-the-scenes look at the foundation’s work and why investing in young people—through leadership, opportunity, and connection—matters now more than ever.
Join us for a conversation about purpose, community, and what it really means to carry traditions forward.
