TFFJ Founder and CEO Katherine Soll said, "We are delighted to have Katie join our Board of Directors and continue our ongoing partnership with Bowery to address long-standing food inequities in high-need areas. Katie brings with her an impressive knowledge of the country's current agricultural landscape, sustainability, and food deserts, which will no doubt make her an invaluable addition to our board."

Central to Bowery's mission is creating an enduring brand that democratizes access to high-quality, safe, and delicious produce grown in a more sustainable way.
