Jeannette Kreft-Logsdon
Title: General Manager - Owner
Years Experience: 20+
Jenny, a native Oregonian, grew up in the Willamette Valley. She spent summers weeding onions and picking strawberries and eventually worked for many of the food processing companies in the area. Realizing that there must be something better she studied and obtained a Food Science degree. After five years working for Pioneer Hi-Bred International in the Quality Control & Research Departments in Portland Oregon, the company relocated to Iowa. Having no interest in moving out of Oregon, Jenny had already started collecting and maintaining cultures that would eventually become the Wyeast Culture Collection. While attending college Jenny met Dave, need I say more, a few years later Wyeast was born, 1986! In 1988, triplets were thrown into the picture to make life more interesting. For the last 18 years it’s been interesting juggling the business and raising three awesome girls who are now college bound in 2007. Jenny currently has no other interest outside of work and family. As she considers Wyeast as her hobby and family too!:
