Manager

Kristina's unbounded love for vegetables led her to begin cooking at the local general store in high school, then to running a small cafe in Vermont, and eventually to the study of food and culture. (Ask her about vegetarian cookbooks of the 1970s—but only if you have the time to spare!) Now a recent college graduate with a degree in anthropology, Kristina is excited about merging her interests in rural-urban food systems, being surrounded by mountains of fresh produce, spending some much-needed time outside of the library, and supporting regional farms and NYC communities with Greenmarket.
