Paige Mueller

Paige Mueller is a local success story.

A Coupeville High School grad who followed in the footsteps of her forefathers by becoming a farmer, she and her husband own Bell’s Farm.

Mueller’s family has been tilling the soil of Whidbey Island since 1946 and are deeply connected to The Rock.

With another round of budget cuts looming on the horizon for the Coupeville School District, much has been said about the Connected Food Program.

Mueller strongly supports what Chef Andreas Wurzrainer and his crew have accomplished, and she lays out her thoughts in a letter to school board members which is included on the agenda for Thursday’s meeting.

In the letter, she talks about her own experiences as a farmer, and a former Coupeville Elementary School librarian.

“We have a responsibility as citizens of this world to guide students towards healthy food choices, away from processed foods, and to show them how food gets on their plate,” Mueller writes.

“For their health, the community’s health, and the health of our planet.”
