Our Staff

Amy Levine · Marketing Specialist

Hometown: Durham, NC
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Blood Oranges!
Bio: Born and raised in North Carolina, I moved to Worcester to attend Clark University, where I received my Bachelors and Masters in Communications. Before joining Boston Organics in 2011, I nurtured my passion for food and sustainability by working in the catering industry and writing about food. I spend most of my free time laughing, playing music, camping, cooking, eating, and talking about food with anyone who will listen. I have an unhealthy obsession with fried okra. I also spend my weekends playing fiddle in a Celtic Americana rock band.

Amy Moses · Customer Service

Hometown: Wayland, MA
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Garlic
Bio: Born in Boston, brought up in Wayland, I now reside in Framingham with my wonderful husband & two great kitties. I’ve always had a passion for food & helping people. As a local, independently owned company, Boston Organics drew my attention in 2010. I have been working in Customer Service here ever since! It is wonderful being a part of this crew that believes in sustainable agricultural & business practices, supporting local farms, and giving back to our community. Prior to joining Boston Organics, I spent 3 years working at The Greater Boston Food Bank. Summer’s the season I love most, and silliness comes out a lot in my demeanor. Need to speak with someone here? We’re only a ring away on the banana phone!

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 Long Island, I had a pretty ordinary, yet fantastic childhood in suburbia, for which I am very grateful. During that time, I worked for a small, successful wholesale greenhouse, and learned a lot about horticulture and agriculture. In 2008, I graduated from Marist College with a degree in Psychology and moved to Boston promptly thereafter. It took me a year to realize it, but I still wanted to work and grow with a small business. I signed on with Boston Organic with that intent, and have been enjoying the ride ever since. I currently reside in Jamaica Plain, MA, with my amazing fiancé Meg and our adorable pup Posey, and we love this city. You can usually find us walking the Jamaica Pond or taking weekend trips to upstate New York.

Bill Ironfield · Assistant Warehouse Manager

Hometown: Windham, NH
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Apples
Bio: I was born and raised in southern New Hampshire where I still live today. I joined the Boston Organics team almost 9 years ago when we were still upstairs and have loved it ever since. I started out in the warehouse, became a driver for a while, moved back to the warehouse, took a summer off, and moved back to the warehouse, where I am now the Assistant Warehouse Manager. I graduated from Umass last June with a Bachelors Degree in History. In my spare time I work at Johnson's Highland View Farm right across the street from my house, build things from wood, fix the car, try to go fishing, read books about old things, talk about the future and compare it to the past, and like really good shoes.

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.

Gardijan Nedzipovik · Warehouse

Hometown: Macedonia
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Bananas
Bio: I am a Gypsy originally from Macedonia. I like travelling and I've been to Spain, Germany, England, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Ireland. My favorite sports are soccer and basketball, and I play soccer every Friday. I like to party on the weekend - my favorite clubs are Gypsy Bar and Royale. I love listening to music every day. The music is in our blood! I have lots of instruments, but I can't really play them all.

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.

Jay Graham · Associate Buyer

Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Baby Bok Choy
Bio: I joined the team at Boston Organics and I now help to pack orders and keep the warehouse in working order. Prior to my time here, I attended Skidmore College and studied jewelry making and metalwork. I also worked as a woodworker, creating picture frames and building/finishing furniture. Outside of work you might find me cooking, print-making, or welding. I really enjoy conceptual art, food related puns, Foxfire books, single speed bikes, and Marxist theory.

John Goodridge · Marketing & Customer Service

Hometown: Wellesley, MA
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Bell Peppers
Bio: After receiving my bachelor’s degree from Hofstra University, I embarked on journey to the Big Island of Hawaii to WWOOF on an organic farm. On the farm, I learned how to milk goats and sheep and tend to organic gardens and fruit orchards. My experience there left a great impression on me, one that led me to dive into the organic food movement and seek employment at Boston Organics. After over a year of working as a driver, I have moved into the office to assist with Marketing and Customer service. Outside of work you can usually find me riding my vintage motorcycle, planting and harvesting my veggie garden, brewing beer or trying a new recipe.

Matthew 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. 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 cooked both on Deer Isle and Martha's Vineyard. I went to Union College and graduated with a degree in Political Science. I bounced around after college before settling here in Boston. I am a big sports fan and support all the local Boston teams. I started with the company as delivery driver and I am now working in the office as a Purchaser. I am excited by the opportunity to grow with the company. I try and get out on the ocean as much as possible during the summer and always try and make it home for the lobster boat races.

Pete Meuse · Warehouse Manager

Hometown: Hyannis, MA
Favorite fruit and/or vegetable: Garlic Scapes

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.

My hobbies include trying to play guitar and understand musical theory, building PCs, wandering around the city taking photos of what interests me, building cars and engines and being a troll.
