Meet the Team

We’re led by a group of passionate individuals working to grow a community for agriculture. We love what we do!

Devyn Messinger

Market Director

Devyn started her journey with the Wild Ramp as a Mobile Market Associate where she loaded fresh produce on a truck and set up around the city to live out our mission. Today, she leads the efforts of the Online Food Hub, an eCommerce marketplace for The Wild Ramp. An avid traveler, Devyn has lived in and explored many places but knows West Virginia as home. Devyn trained at Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, where she developed a craft for farm-to-table cuisine and a passion for local food. When she’s not at the market, you can find her painting, browsing through her endless collection of cookbooks or on the hunt for her next great meal.

Crystal Newman

Online Food Hub Manager

Crystal Newman may be new to the Food Hub driver position, but she brings with her 8 years of professional driving experience. Interestingly enough, she is no stranger to the Wild Ramp community, as she has served as a volunteer several times over the years. It is no surprise that Crystal describes herself as the Wild Ramp's "biggest fan." In her downtime, Crystal loves to experiment with unique and adventurous dishes in the kitchen, showcasing her culinary creativity. Additionally, she finds joy in sewing and needlework, and devotes her free time to caring for her family - which includes two sons, a husband of over 30 years, a persnickety cat, and a new puppy.

Leah Lowe

Development Coordinator

Leah Lowe has worked in economic development since 2002, working for area development districts, local governments and nonprofits. She is a West Virginia University graduate and enjoys volunteering, crocheting, reading and hiking. Leah and her husband live with their five kids, a dog, two cats and a leopard gecko and are resurrecting a 100+ year old apple orchard on their acreage in Roane County.
