I'm Bettina Reece, one of the new fall Business Development Interns at Green City Growers. I am also a Masters candidate in Gastronomy at Boston University and the Assistant General Manager at West Side Lounge in Cambridge. I grew up in Cambridge and Maine, where my family bought local and organic produce whenever possible. Many of our neighbors in Maine grew and sold their own produce. "Local" is a relative term when considering an urban or rural setting, but I've always felt that it didn't have to be.
