Announcing a Staff Transition at SFC
For over twelve years, Andrew Smiley, SFC Deputy Director, has served the local food community through his work with Sustainable Food Center, which is part of a career that spans 25 years, so far. His experiences with food and agriculture, both personal and professional, began early in his life and started him on the trajectory that led him to SFC. Andrew will be moving on from SFC at the end of this month but will leave behind a multitude of successes among them being the acceptance of SNAP (food stamps) at farmers’ markets, institutional purchasing of local foods, Farm to Work, and, of course, Farm to School.
Taking over the helm of SFC Deputy Director is our very own Joy Casnovsky, former director of our The Happy Kitchen/La Cocina Alegre® program.
