Excerpt:
A former volunteer and site partner, Stathis Pauls officially joined the DPFLI staff in 2022 after nearly a decade of experience working in urban agriculture and farmers markets. As one of the site’s two full-time employees, he and Edwards manage the day-to-day operations as well as coordinating grant applications, managing volunteers, developing programing, planning events, directing outreach initiatives and more.

Pauls does not believe in destiny, but he knows he is meant to grow and share food. A descendent of a long line of farmers from Greece, Pauls thinks about his great-aunt and uncle every time he harvests peppers.
“Everybody loves a good pepper — sweet, spicy, it doesn’t matter,” says Pauls. “But there’s a story for me. My great-uncle died when I was relatively young. After that, whenever I’d visit my great-aunt, she’d say, ‘Oh, your uncle visited me in my dream last night and we were picking peppers together.’ I still choke up thinking about it, especially when I’m harvesting and smell the peppers.”
