Our Team
CEO
Helped change Austin's zoning to make urban farming legal. Extensive experience in tech and local food systems.
We launched Big Wheelbarrow to tackle a big problem: Why is it so hard for small farms to get into local grocery stores? Turns out that many grocery stores would work with more local farms if the overhead of buying wasn’t so high. We built our enterprise-level platform to solve the local buying needs of grocers whether they have 6 or 600 stores.
