CHAD ANDERSON

Owner & Farm Manager

Running long distance and digging large holes are two of Chad’s favorite pastimes. He studied business at Baylor and farmed in Uganda and for Groundswell before starting Green Wagon in 2010. Chad dreams in perennials, black walnut forests, and teams of oxen. Work is his love language, and the potato is his spirit vegetable.

ASHLEY FOX

Farmers Market Crew 

Ashley is a part of our Saturday Market Crew at Fulton Street Farmers Market. She shares sentiments with George Whitman, who said that "all the world is my school and all humanity is my teacher.” While holding 3 degrees and working full-time at Grand Rapids Community College in Student Life, she also loves being outdoors, roaming near and far, trail running, hiking, bird watching, camping, biking, sun bathing, reading, resting and collecting natural objects. If you want to get technical, you could say her spirit vegetable is the cucumber, but really it’s the Dill Pickle in the cucumber’s finished form.
