Managers

EBT Manager Dina Magaril was born in St. Petersburg, Russia and immigrated to New York when she was four. She grew up in Washington Heights and attended Middlebury College, where she majored in English and Spanish. While living in the Green State, she developed a passion for farmer’s markets, artisanal cheeses, and local agriculture. She studied in Buenos Aires, where she fell in love with grass-fed beef, Malbecs, and the ‘vos’ form. She has yet to make the perfect empanada. Dina has taught Spanish to elementary school students and English to Mexican Dairy farmers in Vermont.

Market Manger Justin Erkess, a Philadelphia native, 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.
