Our Staff

Henry Corsun
Founder and Coordinator

Henry founded Good Food Farmers with partner Sara Querbes and several farming peers in 2014 and has managed the endeavor ever since. From deliveries to ordering platforms to bookkeeping and member correspondence, Henry has done it all and keeps on doing. In addition to GFF, Henry and Sara own and operate Dog Wood Farm and Rock City Mushrooms. He is excited to be part of creating a more regenerative food system from farm to table and are grateful to all who choose to participate with them.

 

Henry has always been passionate about the outdoors – from building forts as a kid to going on regular outdoor adventures with pups Harry, Tate, and Scout. Hi passion for food and farming arose out of the realization and first-hand experience from West Africa to the Hudson Valley that agriculture has tremendous power to help shape the future – to restore our environment, to fight for social justice, and to build resilient local economies. Henry brings these passions to work each and every day and is full of hope for what the future could look like.

Dan Andresen
Operations and Logistics

Dan joined the GFF team in June 2017 and has been instrumental in operations ever since. You may recognize him knocking on your door each week for deliveries, though he also works hard behind the scenes organizing logistics and packing out orders. In addition to his work with GFF, Dan is part of the team at Dog Wood Farm and Rock City Mushrooms where he helps tend to the grassfed beef cows, pastured poultry, and indoor-cultivated mushrooms. There is no task too small or problem too big that Dan isn’t willing to take on. His passion for building community and spreading joy through food is what drives him to help make GFF – in his words – “awesome”.

 

Dan lives with his wife Vienna and their two dogs, Abigail and Clover, in a 220 square-foot tiny house that they built. His two greatest passions in life are music and the outdoors; if he is not at home fiddling with a guitar then you will most certainly find him hiking a trail to the nearest peak.
