About Eric

Eric is part of our customer support team working to maintain a welcoming and inclusive process for frontline workers applying to the Farm and Food Workers Relief program in 14 states throughout the Northeast.

Eric was first introduced to the organic food movement as an employee at Harvest Market Natural Foods in Hockessin, Delaware. Since then, he has worked on small farms in Oregon, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, where he helped slaughter chickens, turkeys, and pigs. Later, Eric worked for a small soil company in Pennsylvania and attended a Pasa Sustainable Agriculture conference as a vendor. He was inspired by his co-workers to support local food and farm workers. After working side-by-side with various frontline farm workers, most of whom were from Mexico, he decided to join the Pasa team. 

In between working on farms and selling soil, Eric taught English in Mexico and Spain. Currently, he teaches English as a second language in Royersford, Pennsylvania, while also supporting the Food and Farm Workers Relief Program mission.
