Genna, FreshFarm, Fresh Farm's Foggy Bottom Farmers Market




"I mean I just love it"

Genna's smiling face welcomes me to the Foggy Bottom market. She sits behind the Fresh Farm stand at the front of the market, chatting amicably to her coworkers. Dressed in jeans and a light blouse, she looks relaxed, comfortable and radiating happiness. Genna dives into describing the Fresh Farm non profit. Its reflexive for her, this is her job. Handing out information is what she does best so she is a little surprised when the questions become more personal. Easy going Genna is from the Bay Area in California. Right out of school, she studied sustainable agriculture, and therefore working with Fresh Farm is perfect for her. She quickly hurries me away to interview vendors. Throughout the market I see her lackadaisically walking around, talking to vendors and eating food. Genna opened up the market to me in the right way, with a smile.
