She is excited to be a part of growing awareness and accessibility of this local resource, and to be part of an organization that is creating a more healthy, sustainable community.

Kaeli Evans joined the board in October of 2019 after moving back to Goshen from Pittsburgh, PA. She is the farm manager at Merry Lea Sustainble Farm of Goshen College.

He is committed to promoting sustainable, regenerative agriculture that brings nutritious food to all.

Ally Mast is a registered dietitian nutritionist, passionate about healthy eating, sustainable nutrition, and helping individuals unlock food's potential.
