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 organic produce to the people of the Boston area. With help from my 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 building elaborate Thomas the Train train sets.

Matt Burt · Produce Buyer

Hometown: Wrentham, MA
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Collard Greens
Bio: I grew up in Wrentham, MA, in the days before the outlet mall and moved to Boston to study audio production at the New England Institute of Art. After graduating, I moved to Philadelphia with his 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, and now handles produce buying and inventory. I enjoy riding my bike, playing music, and cooking. Lauren, my life partner, myself and our lazy cat, Gizmo, finally escaped Allston Village and live in Cambridge.

Galen Lipin · Marketing/Specialty Items/Customer Service

Hometown: Derry, NH
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Patty Pan Squash
Bio: I braved the dense rainforests and sprawling deserts of New Hampshire and made my way south on a makeshift raft via the raging rapids of the Merrimack River. Running aground in Lowell, MA, I hoped to break into the field of mill-style building construction, though quickly discovered the local market was thoroughly saturated. Four years later I found myself with a degree in Music Business from the University of Massachusetts. After a two-year stint conceptualizing and handling national, tour, and event publicity for a variety of clients in the music world, I joined up with the crew at Boston Organics. An avid enjoyer of coffee, biking, and tinkering with code, instruments, and bicycles; I live in Somerville with my wife Libby and our two adorable cats.

Dan Pugatch · Warehouse

Hometown: Easton, MA
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Spinach
Bio: My journey began downtown in the concrete jungle of suburban Easton, MA. I moved to New Bedford, MA and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in English: Writing/Communications from the University of Massachusetts: Dartmouth. Over the years I have done just about everything from bicycle messenger to pinup photographer, from bicycle mechanic to coffee barista and even used my degree shortly as a newspaper reporter. When not in the warehouse, I'm racing my bicycle for OrganicAthlete's Boston Chapter Vegan Cycling Team and rocking out on guitar playing rockabilly, surf, and old country. I consider myself a board game fanatic and collect books, my favorite being Moby Dick. I'm getting married before the new year to the lovely Heather, we reside in Somerville and don't plan on ever leaving!

Jay Sullivan · Fleet Manager

Hometown: Lowell, MA
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Garlic
Bio: I grew up in Lowell, MA, back when boom boxes were huge and linoleum wasn't just for flooring. After graduating from Montserrat College of Art, I moved to Boston to be closer to my friends. I've spent the past five years working for Boston Organics, making sure the produce gets where it needs to go. After retiring my driving gloves, I moved into the office, where I supervise delivery logistics. Outside of work, you can find me sipping a homebrew beer, playing music in any number of local groups, or letterpress printing on a vintage Kelsey press.

Brady White · Customer Service

Hometown: Alvarado, TX
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Watermelon, Cantaloupe
Bio: I grew up in a small town called Alvarado, Texas (population around 10,000) and went to college in Dallas, Texas for a recording technology degree. Graduated, then went to Baylor University. I proposed to Sarah McAdams, now White, and then got married in May 20, 2006. Finally, I ended my long journey of schooling at the University of Texas in Arlington. I enjoy taking road trips with my wife and dog, hanging out with friends, taking my dog to the park, and doing a lot of BBQin'. I've lived in Brighton for over a year now and have really enjoyed it. The winters are fun!
