Excerpt:

A former volunteer and site partner, Stathis Pauls officially joined the DPFLI staff in 2022 after nearly a decade of experience working in urban agriculture and farmers markets. As one of the site’s two full-time employees, he and Edwards manage the day-to-day operations as well as coordinating grant applications, managing volunteers, developing programing, planning events, directing outreach initiatives and more.

After that, whenever I’d visit my great-aunt, she’d say, ‘Oh, your uncle visited me in my dream last night and we were picking peppers together.’ I still choke up thinking about it, especially when I’m harvesting and smell the peppers.”
