Juju Carpenter (she/her) joined our team in September as the farmers’ market assistant manager and member of the food access team. She is completing her B.A concentrated in sustainable food systems from UMASS this spring. Since a very young age, Juju has been interested in the food system from seed to harvest–working within gardens, farms, nurseries, kitchens, and cafes–and chose to formally study agriculture after transferring from Bennington college. She is a grower of vegetables, fruits, flowers, and herbs and is always thinking about how to recenter the plate and conversation around plant-based food. She is a believer in community over everything and is excited to grow alongside Grow Food Northampton and continue her work within and for local food systems!
