Hello Everyone,
Time flies when you’re having fun! I can’t believe I’ve already been at Farmigo for over a month. I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and the Farmigo Support Team.

I am Stephani, the Farmigo Customer Support Manager. I have been working in technology and support for the past 18 years. I went to Rutgers NJ for undergraduate study In Sociology and Psychology and earned my MBA in Technology Management at the University of Phoenix. I grew up in the Garden State and can remember my grammar school class trips to the Old Wagon Farm, apple picking with my family, eating my Grandmother’s homemade cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving, and let’s not forget Jersey Tomato sandwiches which are still one of my favorites. I was lucky to grow up around so many farms. I currently belong to a local CSA, try to know my food and cook at home as much as possible. I am finally combining my work and personal life and am someplace I am passionate about. I am home at Farmigo and am excited about working with and getting to know you all.
With a bachelor’s in theatre and a master’s in psychoanalysis, Steven naturally gravitated towards computers. After spending most of his career working on software for the financial industry (and eating his fair share of fast food), Steve met his wife. She belonged to a CSA and he found out what a beet really tasted like. When the opportunity came to meld his software knowledge with his passion for local food, Steve jumped at the chance. He has never looked back.
Angela has always had an interest in food and cooking, her passion for agriculture and the food movement took root during her service as a Peace Corps Volunteer in West Africa. As she worked with farmers every day in West Africa, it was easy for her to see that farmers are the foundation of the economy. This is just as true in the United States even though farmers represent a smaller portion of the population. When she returned to the United Stated, she began working with a software company focusing on social media marketing. She is excited to be working for Farmigo today where she can combine both of these experiences and talk with farmers every day! On another note, Angela is a graduate of Penn State University and an avid fan of the Nittany Lions!
Karli believes food tastes better when shared with friends. It also helps if it was grown by friends! A graduate from the Cornell School of Hotel Administration, Karli has always had an interest in food and its power to bring people together. While in Ithaca, she discovered the wonders of the farmers' markets, a place where the community gathers to shop, eat, and learn - it was a love match. Her new found appreciation for fresh veggies drove her to enroll in the Groundswell New Farmer Training Program where she received a certificate in sustainable farming. She believes that CSA programs not only provide the freshest, tastiest food there is, but also foster communities and friendships.
Ran is Famigo’s Development Operations Manager. His job is to implement efficient testing and development processes and assure that the products we are releasing will have the highest quality. Ran has been with Farmigo for over 2 years now; almost from the beginning when we had started with very few farms. In the last year Ran was also working as a support advocate, and now that we have established this wonderful team he'll mainly assist the Support Team with helping the farms and food producers with technical issues and requests.
Ran's experience is from the Hi-Tech industry where he served in different technical and managerial positions for more than 13 years. The only farms he knew before he joined Farmigo were server farms. Even though farming and sustainable food was something new to him, he quickly learned to love what he’s doing, and believes we are doing something really important. He has also joined a CSA and is educating his 3 boys to eat healthier food.
