Stacy is a mom of two boys, can eat her weight in fresh figs, and founded good phyte foods in 2016.
James is our food prep intern from VCU, has been to 35 countries, and brings worldly humor to our kitchen.
Stacy moved to Charlottesville in 2011, and fell in love with the profusion of small farms dedicated to renewing the land and nourishing people. At the time, she was the Executive Director of the Farmers Market Coalition, committed to advancing the movement toward more resilient, diverse local economies.
Not long after, Stacy had her first son and was quickly frustrated and disenchanted with the available options for truly nutritious snacks. good phyte evolved with a double mission to support local vegetable sustainable farms while helping people eat cleaner to fuel their best selves.
In 2019, she was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis, an autoinflammatory spinal arthritis that reinforces her belief in the direct relationship between what we eat and how we feel.
Stacy has a B.A. in English and Environmental Studies from Saint Mary's College of Maryland and a M.S. in Agricultural and Environmental Education from West Virginia University. She is certified in Sports Nutrition.

James moved to the U.S. from France in 2018, honing his English while finishing high school in Virginia. He joins us as a recent VCU Marketing graduate and brings high enthusiasm, a positive attitude, and a treasure trove of worldly stories to our kitchen.
His part-time internship with good phyte is made possible by the Virginia Talent Opportunity Partnership (V-TOP) and runs through the end of December 2025.
On his days off, James like to stay active by boxing, playing football (but only the European kind!), and helping others stay mobile at his second gig at Stretch Lab.
