Manager

A Philadelphia native, Justin Erkess never toiled in the soil as a young lad. He got interested in food production when he moved to Central New York and could see agricultural land from his bedroom window. After exposure to the vibrant organic food movements in Ithaca and then later Eugene, Oregon, he was hooked, and went on to spend the 2007 and 2008 growing seasons on a small organic farm in northern Vermont. Currently residing in Brooklyn, his experience brings valuable teaching points to the Greenmarket information tent, enriching peoples' awareness of the interconnectedness of food, environment, and health.
