Who We Are

Stephanie Ercklentz Coleman was born and raised in New York City. She graduated from Wellesley College and went on to work at Merrill Lynch as an Investment Banking analyst. After her two year program was done, she transitioned into Marketing and PR for Anne Klein and then Vera Wang and is now a full time mother of four children. She remains active in her community and currently sits on the board of New York Presbyterian Hospital as Vice Chair, the board of The Chapin School, and the Women’s committee of the Boys Club of New York. 

Growing up with a nutritionist grandmother, it was Stephanie's lifelong goal to grow healthy and local produce for her family and others. Through Valentines Farm, she is working to bring nutritious farm fresh products and preventative health awareness to others. Additionally, Stephanie is excited to leverage Valentines Farm as a vehicle to conduct further research on health and nutrition. With real world case studies, and all the learnings that come from a working farm, she is gaining first-hand knowledge on how to best provide support to organizations seeking to fight hunger, childhood obesity, and other health related issues.
