I became interested in local food after purchasing one of the first City Fresh shares in summer of 2005. Quickly I became a volunteer for the organization, started growing food in the back yard and eventually came to work for City Fresh. I am now the director of City Fresh in Cuyahoga County. Though I don't grow much now, I love working with a diverse group in Cleveland to make more, great food available for everyone in the area.
