Meet Alexis
Alexis started as our Holyoke Farmers Market Manager in November of 2022 and during his time running the market has increased the farmer and vendor presence, created inclusive and accessible opportunities to artisans of all ranges, aided in providing complimentary licensing, insurance, and equipment, and has grown the organization’s collaborations and partnerships across the Valley.
Born in Puerto Rico and grew up in the Flats and South Holyoke, Alexis is a 2017 Lighthouse graduate who holds a strong commitment to closing the food security gap and recognizes the need to provide fresh and accessible produce to underrepresented members of our community. Alexis also works with Pause and Pivot Farm in Williamsburg caring for their hydroponic farm, is an AmeriCorps SelfServe Member currently working as a counselor at Holyoke High School and formally at his alma mater, and served with Eagle Eye Institute helping youth recognize the importance of nature and agriculture by transforming the greenhouse at Dean Tech., here in the city.
