Manager
Angela Ruggiero-Corliss is thrilled to be back in New York and managing the Fort Washington, Parkchester, and Mt. Sinai Greenmarkets this season. A graduate of Columbia University, she has spent the last few years in western Massachusetts studying yoga, herbalism, and shiatsu bodywork. She believes that nourishing, locally-produced food is the most important medicine there is, since it helps people (re)connect with their bodies, their communities, and the earth. In her spare time she rides her bike around the city, writes, and listens to music.
