At Pipestone, we live and breathe our core values: Integrity, Caring, Commitment, Growth, and Teamwork. We’re taking a closer look at each value, exploring what they mean to us and how they shape our organization. Our values are the foundation of who we are and how we work together. Join us as we recognize our team members who exemplify these values.
Exemplifying Growth: Avery
Nutrition & Procurement Coordinator
Growth often comes from embracing the unknown—and Avery Mather has done exactly that. Over the past year, she has stepped into new territory with confidence, expanded her capabilities, and found innovative ways to strengthen the team.
Whether building Power BI dashboards, improving processes with team members, or stepping in to help wherever needed, Avery has approached each task with curiosity, technical expertise, and a drive to do things better. Her willingness to question the status quo has pushed projects forward and inspired others to think differently.
“Avery’s growth has been remarkable to watch,” shared Jenna Hauglid, Senior Supervisor of Business Administration for Pipestone Nutrition. “She’s taken on complex projects with confidence, and her problem-solving skills have brought real, lasting improvements. The initiative and creativity she brings to her work make her an invaluable part of the team.”
Thank you, Avery, for driving progress through your curiosity, creativity, and determination.
Exemplifying Growth: Noah
Regional Production Director
In times of transition, growth becomes a defining moment—and Noah Whipkey has embraced it fully. Throughout his career, he has expanded his skillset, stepped into leadership roles with confidence, and built trust through honest, transparent conversations.
Now, in his role as Director of Production, Noah has elevated his leadership by focusing on coaching and supporting his team—empowering them to take ownership rather than stepping in to do the work himself. His ability to guide others while fostering a culture of accountability has strengthened both his team and the organization.
“Noah’s growth has been inspiring to watch,” shared Rochelle Remund, Human Resources Director. “He’s developed into a leader who not only delivers results but also brings out the best in those around him. His dedication, humility, and professionalism make him an exceptional teammate and a true asset to our mission.”
Thank you, Noah, for leading with integrity, lifting up those around you, and bringing our mission to life through your dedication, professionalism, and commitment to continual growth.
