Meet the Team

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

Rebecca Gray

Market Director

Rebecca’s introduction to local produce and farmers came from her work with the Columbia Farmers Market in Columbia, Missouri. Through this role she developed a passion for local, fresh produce and supporting local producers. Rebecca earned her Bachelor’s degree in Human Service and Community Development from Black Hills State University with the intention of managing a farmers market full-time. She is passionate about non-profit work and through the National Civilian Community Corps has worked with multiple Habitat for Humanity affiliates, Sherwood Forest Camp for low-income students and Cuivre River State Park, repairing and maintaining an equestrian and hiking trail. An avid backpacker, she recently completed a 2,100 mile thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail and is now excited to plant her roots in Huntington. In her role as The Wild Ramp’s Director, Rebecca intends to build upon efforts toward greater equity and access among farmers market operators and consumers, so that they in turn may foster a more equitable community and food system.
