Kitchen

Lindsey Vargo

Lindsey joins us for her third season at Vista Verde after completing her sophomore year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We are thrilled to have her back helping the chefs keep the kitchen movin’ and groovin’! When she’s not prepping for the next meal, you’ll find her spending time outdoors or baking. She’s excited to spend winter at the ranch, but will miss her pets back home–a dog named Moose, and a fish named Dog!

Nancy Neil

Nancy graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in management. She is currently pursuing an A.S. in Culinary Arts from Johnson and Wales University in Charlotte, NC where she is now living. Nancy has a passion for cooking and aspires to have a career in the missional food industry. In her free time Nancy likes hanging out with friends, going on walks, and playing pickleball. Nancy is known for creating an “experience” out of the little things… if it’s reading on a rainy day she’s gonna make tea and light a candle to go with it, if it’s eating meat and cheese she’s gonna make a charcuterie board out of it and pour a glass of wine. Make sure you try her famous kale salad when you visit us on the ranch!

Cameron Carter

Cameron is a student at Virginia Tech where he is a member of the Phi Delt fraternity. He is also very active in his local ministry. In his free time, Cameron loves to play chess, soccer, and basketball. He recently picked up coding as a hobby, and says anything he can tinker on has his attention. If Cameron could travel anywhere, he’d want  to go across the USA and Canada and visit the national parks.
