Greetings!
I’m Emily Roberts, and I’m so excited to introduce myself as Field to Family’s new Operations Manager. I’ve had a great first few days learning the ins and outs of the organization and I’m so passionate about bringing local food to as many people as possible. Starting in college ten years ago, I knew I needed to be a part of a food system that sustains and supports farmers, consumers, and the planet. I found volunteer organizations and work-share opportunities throughout this time to fulfill this interest, but I always dreamed of diving in deep with my career and dedicating myself wholeheartedly to healthfulness through food. I have a background in corporate leadership that will carry over into this management role – you can always expect friendliness and professionalism from me!
So here I am! Committed to producers and consumers and ready to take on what Field to Family needs to make our local food system flourish. I look forward to building relationships with my coworkers, volunteers, farmers, and customers.
Peas and carrots,
Emily
