Justine Jackson-Ricketts joined the IFM family in July of 2023 as our Online Market Manager. We have all enjoyed reading Justine’s beautiful prose in the Market newsletters and social media posts. Her help was instrumental in the transition back to the LocallyGrown Online Market platform and we appreciate everything she did to promote local food and the Independence Farmers Market. Justine was also kind enough to find her replacement!
Some of you will remember Shawn Boucher from the years he sold at IFM outdoor and Online Markets as Southern Fork Farm. Shawn specialized in poultry and grew produce as well. He also served on the IFM board during his time as a vendor. Given his experience with the IFM, we are thrilled to have him back as our new Online Market Manager. Welcome back Shawn!
