As a California native and the daughter of Amigo Bob Cantisano, one of the pioneers of the organic farming movement, Cirra developed an appreciation for fresh, local, organic food at an early age. From growing up on an organic farm, family vacations that centered around agriculture, attending Eco Farm conferences, addressing catalogs for her family's farm and garden supply business, to a stint as the production manager and farmers market representative for their organic olive oil company, organic and sustainable agriculture has been her way of life from the beginning.

After several years in the floral industry as the owner/operator of a local design company specializing in weddings and events, followed by 15 years working as an accountant in both local government and private business, Cirra is thrilled to be returning to her roots as a member of the Tahoe Food Hub team.

In her free time, Cirra enjoys cooking and reading and can be found spending time with her husband and son skiing, biking, hiking and traveling as much as possible.
