Board of Directors

Meet The FDC Board of Directors

We are thankful to the FDC board of directors, who contribute their time, talent and energy to help further our mission

Kristina Barclay

Kristina has been a member of the FDC since 2013. She grew up in central Massachusetts, where her father always had a large garden that his three kids were expected to help plant, weed and pick. The FDC has been a great way for Kristina to share her love of fresh produce with her husband and two kids, and she is excited to become more involved in the organization.

Kimberly Hopkins

Kim has been a member of the FDC since she and her husband moved to Salem from Portland, Oregon in 2019, and she loves all of the beautiful produce the FDC provides! She is looking forward to being a member of the Board and working with the team to help keep the FDC running smoothly. When she isn’t cooking FDC produce in the kitchen, she is probably in the garden fussing over some lovely FDC plants. She loves putting those fruits and veggies to work in the kitchen by creating sparkly ferments or spicy pickles to help preserve them all year long. Pulling out a jar of fermented salsa from the depths of the fridge in the dead of winter is pure joy!

Richard Katzman

Richard has lived in Marblehead for over 25 years and has been a member of the FDC for 12 years. He is entering his 3rd year as Treasurer. (Thank you Tamara) Richard is a big fan of the fruit shares and hopes as he matures, he will eventually feel the same about the vegetable shares as well. Richard shares his wife’s passion for giving back to the community and are big supporters of the FDC and its mission to support local farmers. Richard is a business consultant with a focus on advising family-owned businesses and is a partner at Pathway Advisors.
