Emily Besen, Operations Coordinator
If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be? A cucumber, because I'm a little crunchy but like to get dressed up!
What is your favorite part of the market? Having a community gathering place to run into friends and neighbors and shop local has helped create a sense of belonging for my family.
Anne Grady, Co-Market Manager
If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be? I'd be a radish, able to thrive wherever I'm planted and sometimes a little spicy!
What is your favorite part of the market? Knowing I can stock up on my favorite things all in one place, and asking everyone I see what their favorite things are so I can find new favorites!
Elyse Kurzberg, Fundraising Coordinator
If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be? a bell pepper - aiming to make life a little more sweet and colorful!
What is your favorite part of the market? My favorite part of the market is how it fosters community by providing a welcoming environment for families and neighbors to come together. My kids love the Seedling Corner, and I love getting to catch-up with friends over an iced coffee and freshly baked bagel while they play!
Amanda Ryder, Community and Sponsor Liaison
If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be? A carrot, because they're part of the CFM logo plus they're versatile, diverse, colorful and hearty!
What is your favorite part of the market? I love knowing that the CFM is a part of a person or family's weekend tradition and the sense of community we've been able to foster.
Anna Schindelar Gaggiano, Co-Market Manager
If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be? An artichoke! They're complex, romantic, and are one of the few vegetables with a heart :) Also, they pair well with butter!
What is your favorite part of the market? Seeing what's in everyone's market bags and chatting about recipes! Seeing the kids and families dance to the live music also brings so much joy and energy to the scene.
Brittany Walker, Social Media Coordinator
If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be? Turnip, because I love a good (dinner) party!
What is your favorite part of the market? The Seedling Corner. Getting kids excited about community and vendors is awesome to see!
