Alexis Luckey
Overview
Alexis got her start in sustainable agriculture in Charlottesville, among the farm-dotted foothills of the Blue Ridge, while working at the University of Virginia. She eventually abandoned the dusty shelves of academia for Peace Corps service in Africa, building school gardens and leading community workshops on permaculture and natural medicine. During a stint at the Wallace Center in DC, she worked with food hubs nationwide that are transforming local food systems, and is thrilled to land at ECO, at the forefront of this movement. She is a big fan of beets, and bacon.
