New Employee - Katy Coombs


Yankee Farm Credit is pleased to announce the hiring of Katy Coombs. Katy joined the White River Junction office as a Credit Analyst in late June.


Katy graduated from Sweet Briar College in Sweet Briar, VA with a bachelor’s degree in business management and a certificate in equestrian studies. Katy was a member of the Field Team at Sweet Briar, an equestrian team which participated in fox hunting, hunter paces, hunter trials, and riding out.


Growing up on her family farm in Sandwich, NH, Katy developed a love for farming, agricultural recreation, and animals. During high school and college, she worked in many different capacities for her family’s company, A&B Lumber in Moultonborough, NH. Katy has also worked as a horse trainer and riding instructor for many years in New Hampshire, Virginia, and New York.


Katy relocated to Woodstock, VT, where she currently lives with her Llewellyn Setter, Hank, and her beloved Morgan Horse, Shadow. Katy is active in the local equestrian and polo communities in the Upper Valley region of Vermont and New Hampshire.


From Katy: “I have really enjoyed my time so far with Yankee Farm Credit and am looking forward to the challenges and opportunities that my future with the company may hold.  Growing up in a farming family, I have always held a very strong admiration and respect for the culture and the individuals in the agriculture world.  I am excited to be able to combine my passion for agriculture and my education in business to see what I can offer Yankee Farm Credit and the local community.”


Katy brings superlative energy and potential to the Yankee team. Please join us in welcoming her to the staff!
