MEET THE TEAM
Carlton Jackson, Co-Owner
Carlton has worked tirelessly throughout the last decade to use his attributes to make improvements to the food system. His approach to the food system is from the point of view that the world is adding people, and that we need to move away from monoculture commodity based production in order to feed the world. His efforts in being a founding partner of Tunnel Vision Hoops, and a catalyst for local food systems change in Northeast Ohio has been the way he has worked to help create a food system that can take on the challenge of increased food production. carlton@tunnelvisionhoops.com / (833) 886-6351 ext. 5
Todd Alexander, Co-Owner
Todd is a founding partner with Tunnel Vision Hoops, and got involved because of his farms' needs for a High Tunnel (Central Roots Farm) in Cleveland, OH; the one acre for-profit farm served local restaurants, sold at a farm stand, and had a thirty person CSA program. Part of the CSA program's intrigue was its extension into the beginning of January; this was possible with a mix of storage crops and High Tunnel produced vegetables. Due to the experiences gained around extending a CSA into early January, Todd has presented multiple educational presentations around this topic, specifically at the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association conference in Ohio, as well as the Indiana Small Farmers Conference. todd@tunnelvisionhoops.com / (833) 886-6351 ext. 6
