About emily
Emily is a mother of two and with her partner Evan, is the owner and co-founder of Plan Bee Farm Brewery located on Underhill Road near Peach Hill Park. She began her career in environmental non-profit protection for the Hudson Valley. Using her experience and background, she pioneered the first 100% New York State ingredient based environmentally sustainable brewery. Plan Bee’s mission has never been solely about beer—it’s about soil, land, and how they can best serve their community. Emily is running for Town Board to help preserve open spaces and protect our natural resources.
As a small-business owner in Dutchess County for the last 12 years, she has connected with many community members and understands the need for everyone's voices to be heard.
She humbly wants to serve as a representative for all to help provide housing that is affordable, education that is accessible, and local food that is nourishing.
