There has been a LOT happening since we last wrote in July. (Clearly; I have not had enough time to update you all for three months). That should change because we're growing!
If you drop by the food hub, you might notice two new faces.
Alicia (above, standing) is our first ECO Americorps Service Member and we are so excited to have her on board, building on her deep knowledge of vegetable procurement and supply chain operations to help with food hub logistics. She'll also be threading the needle between the intersection of farming and the climate on a creative storytelling project. If you're a grower interested in speaking with Alicia to help tell your story, please let us know.
Abby (below) is our first ever Account Manager. Abby will be dedicated to relationship building and network weaving with folks who are interested in buying from the food hub, with a focus on schools, institutions, retailers and restaurants. Abby brings a passion for small farm viability after working on family farms in the Rutland area. We are so excited for our expanding team and hope you'll give both folks a warm welcome when you meet them!
