Margaret Gerker

Margaret Gerker, EarthDance’s Operations Manager, is excited to join a team of folks growing food in St. Louis. While they grew up in Memphis, TN, their parents grew up in St. Louis so Margaret feels a strong bond to the city. Margaret became interested in gardening in college where they founded a garden club that maintained the community garden. After college, Margaret volunteered in Zambia through the Peace Corps where they taught improved gardening techniques, beekeeping, and agroforestry to local Zambian subsistence farmers. Now they are living happily in St. Louis and looking forward to building community and promoting organic agriculture at EarthDance.
