Market Team

Dana
Executive Director & Market Manager

Picture
After three seasons serving as FSFM's Assistant Market Manager, Dana is thrilled to be stepping into the Executive Director & Market  spends her days supporting vendors and customers in navigating and participating in our beloved market. She loves her dynamic role and particularly enjoys exploring the ways that the market can expand its reach and continue to serve as an anchor for our local food system. Everyone deserves the right to healthy food and Dana is proud that our market plays a role in promoting food access for our community. Dana is constantly in awe of the passion, creativity, and care that our growers and vendors employ to bring us delicious, local food.
​
​In her spare time, Dana enjoys bringing people together over a homemade meal, exploring local parks, and can frequently be found swimming in Lake Michigan.


Ron
Operations Coordinator

Picture
Ron is eager to work with vendors and customers alike in his position at the market. Supporting local farmers and food businesses while increasing accessibility to healthy food has been his dream job since studying Sustainable Food Systems at GVSU. Ron has extensive experience in the local food system, including working for Earthkeeper Farm, the YMCA Veggie Van, Nourish Organic Market, and Nutcase Vegan Meats. 

​A native Grand Rapidian, Ron has heard stories from his grandmother about attending the market as a child.  As the centennial of the market approaches, he feels it is appropriate to both review the history of the market and look toward the future. He sees the market as a place for the community to come together over one of the things we all have in common: food!


​When he’s not at the market Ron can be found biking around the city, drawing, or taking care of his plants.

MacKenzie 
Communications Coordinator

Picture
MacKenzie loves sharing the beauty of the market through her creative role. She is a Grand Rapids native and is inspired by the vibrant colors, fresh smells and warm smiles to capture her favorite thing about the market -- community. Passionate about the many ways we are all connected, MacKenzie conveys the message that supporting local vendors at our market has an impact beyond leading a healthy lifestyle; It is taking action towards creating a just food system. She is proud to work at our historic market and share with you our dedication to providing food access to Grand Rapids as she finishes her undergrad in Community Leadership at Aquinas College. 

​In her free time, MacKenzie enjoys spending time at local coffee shops, trying out new recipes and exploring Michigan's unique landscape.
