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.

As a young’n, Avery Miller spent summers weeding and harvesting veggies at the Food Bank Farm near her house. She stood out early on as a food enthusiast when she was inspired to write her college admission essay about heirloom tomatoes. She recently left behind her former jobs, composting human excrement and cooking for hikers in New Hampshire's White Mountains to move to New York, only to be doored while cycling in the busy city streets. This, along with her experience of skinning a lamb, gives her incredible street ‘cred in the farmer’s market world.
