WORK HISTORY
Regional Food Hub Director @Eastern Market Partnership
Detroit, MI, US
MICHIGAN FOOD AND FARMING ADVOCATE AND COLLABORATOR As Food Hub Director for Eastern Market I specialize in building strong relationships end-to-end throughout the local food chain. In plain English that means visiting farmers on their land across SE Michigan, understanding their needs and strengths, and connecting them to new channels of distribution. It also means finding or creating those new channels where they do not currently exist, and providing and supporting the connective fibers of transportation, storage and distribution. I interact with the Michiganders who make up the local food system, from its beginning in egg or seed to its final destination on a school lunch tray or grocery bag.
