THE FARMERS

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.

REBECCA HENDERSON

Growing up in Rochester, NY and spending 8 years enjoying the Bay Area of California, Rebecca landed herself in the mitten state in 2018 and is happy to call it home. Rebecca started out at Green Wagon in 2018 as a farmhand and has held many roles since then. She currently manages our ever-evolving CSA program and finds sincere joy in building relationships with our CSA members. Aside from her constant interest in the local food community, Rebecca loves to travel (near and far), and her spirit vegetable is the Red Beet.
