  Abby Youngblood, Fresh Food for All Program Coordinator
  
  Before joining Just Food as the Fresh Food For All Program Coordinator, Abby co-managed Old Path Farm, a diversified organic vegetable farm located near Utica, New York. She also worked as a staff person at the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York (NOFA-NY) to organize a series of regional gatherings for farmers in the winter of 2008 as a part of a new initiative to build support for Community Supported Agriculture in New York State. Before beginning her farming career in 2004, Abby worked with the Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger on a campaign to increase access to food stamp benefits for low-income households in Philadelphia. Abby has also conducted research on organic agriculture in other countries. In 2007, she spent three months learning about organic farming and food security in China while at the Soil Science Research Center in Nanjing and during visits to other regions of the country. In 2001, she received a fellowship from the Thomas J. Watson Foundation to conduct a year long research project focused on sustainable agriculture and food systems in Kenya, India, and Russia. Abby's current work at Just Food combines her passion for farming with her commitment to increase access to fresh food for all NYC residents. She can be reached at 212.645.9880, ext 227, or abby[at]justfood.org.

  You go back a long time with Maysie's Farm if you remember Abby Youngblood, who interned in 1999. After Maysie's, she won a fellowship to study sustainable agriculture and food security in Kenya, India, and Russia (see Feb. 2002 and July 2002 issues of this newsletter to read more about her experiences there), and is now working on a website about the farmers she met and what she learned during her travels. When she returned to the U.S., Abby worked for two years with the Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger helping low-income families sign up for food stamps. She recently finished a year-long apprenticeship at Caretaker Farm, a CSA in Williamstown, MA. Abby plans to continue farming; her dream job is managing an urban farm that produces food for the surrounding community and educates people about where their food comes from.
