Andy Roberts · Delivery Driver

Hometown: Camden, OH (BIG Cornfield)
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Pears
Bio: Tuesday through Friday you can find me behind the wheel of a Boston Organics van or picking and packing boxes in the warehouse. I currently call West Newton home, though I grew up in the Midwest and prior to my tenure at Boston Organics I spent seven years in Morehead, KY. When I'm not slinging fruits and vegetables you might find me at a computer or out hiking, fishing, camping, and/or playing frisbee. I hold a BA in Philosophy from Morehead State University and a long term goal of mine is to start a commune with my friends and do my best to get off the grid. Did you know that spray foam insulation can be used to coat arrowheads for use at live action role playing battles? I, in fact, did know that.

Adam Shave · Operations Supervisor

Hometown: Brightwaters, NY
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Avocado
Bio: Born ON glorious Long Island, I had a pretty ordinary, yet fantastic childhood in suburbia. I worked for a small successful wholesale greenhouse for most of my teen years and enjoyed playing a lot of different sports (tennis, golf, bowling, basketball, etc). I graduated from Marist College in 2008 with a degree in Psychology and moved to Boston promptly thereafter. After toiling in an assortment of temp assignments for my first year in the Bean, I realized that big business was definitely not for "this guy," and I made the jump back to the small business roots of my young adult years. I currently reside in Brighton, MA, with my girlfriend Meg and our awesome puppy Posey (named after the former Celtic James Posey, not Parker Posey), and I absolutely love this city. On weekend nights, you can often find me enjoying a nice pint with friends.

Bio: Coming into the end of my thirty second year, I am living in Georgetown, MA with my girlfriend, her sister, and Stella (the bulldog). I am working towards my bachelor's degree in History from UMass Boston. I work in the warehouse at Boston Organics and am one of three farmers at Johnson's Highland View Farm in Windham NH. I can usually be found at the farm working or playing music, or at home on the dock fishing or looking up random stuff online. I also spend a lot of time reading for my classes. I enjoy a good pair of shoes, coffee, a warm hat, and really old houses, barns, and boats.

Emilio Diaz · Operations Manager

Hometown: Caguas, Puerto Rico
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Blueberries
Bio: Born and raised in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico, I eventually moved to the mainland to attend the University of Central Florida where I graduated with a degree in Industrial Engineering. After spending several years in the ranks of Corporate America I decided to return to school. In 2010 I graduated with an MBA from the Rollins College, Crummer School of Management in Winter Park, FL. It was during my time at Rollins College that I first learned about business sustainability and developed an appreciation for organic farming. I may be the only member of my family who is not a NY Yankees fan which suits me well now that I reside in Boston. I am, however, an avid Miami Dolphins fan and a fan of Florida State Seminoles football which won't get me any praises from the locals. I enjoy traveling, working out and, learning history and science. I now live in Lynn, MA.

Jeff Barry · Founder

Hometown: Providence, RI
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Mangoes
Bio: I graduated from Skidmore College in 1990 with a degree in Anthropology. From 1990-1992, I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Comoros Islands off the coast of East Africa from 1990-1992. While a volunteer, I taught high school English; I also helped get funds to build a central marketplace in my village for the local growers, artisans, and fishermen. After Peace Corps, I went to the Fletcher School at Tufts and got a Masters degree with a focus on Environmental Economics and International Business in 1995. I then moved to San Francisco where I did all kinds of jobs, but mainly had a lot of fun (mountain biking, yoga, marathons, eating good food, making good friends). While in SF I subscribed to a similar service called Planet Organics. In 2002, my wife and I decided to head back east to be closer to our families. It was at that point that I decided to start Boston Organics, with the goal of bringing fresh local and organic produce to the people of the Boston area. With help from my late grandfather, I purchased a van, posted a few fliers around town and started the business. Most of my free time outside of work is joyfully spent with my wife and three boys cooking, eating, and playing outside.

Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Collard Greens

After graduating, I moved to Philadelphia with my band to take advantage of the cheap rent and vegan cheesesteaks. Upon returning to Boston in 2005, I learned about Boston Organics and heard that they were hiring! After a year behind the reigns of a Boston Organics van, I moved into the office to manage the delivery logistics. Currently, I manage the produce buying and inventory. I enjoy riding my bike, music, and cooking. My wife, Lauren, and I live in Jamaica Plain with our lazy cat, Gizmo.

I lived on Cape Cod for twenty two years (skateboarding since 1992), and then moved to Rhode Island, then Boston, then Las Vegas (spent five months in the desert and climbed mountains as much as I could!), and then back to Boston.

I can be best summed up by the following list: Shredding mini ramps, jokes, wheelies, high fives, hanging out, D&D, World of Warcraft, strategy, philosophy, Taoism, psychology, Doomsday theories, having fun, Metal, air guitar (or guitar on anything that is not a guitar), jumping off stuff into water, writing, movies, Buffalo wings, pop culture, lists, studying Juggalo subculture, whiskey, wizards, shamans, sorcerers, mystics, astrology, climbing mountains, swimming, survival scenarios, couch surfing, reading minds, picking up vibes, and headbanging.
