Market Staff
Alison DeLancey, MScN (Market Director)
Prior to joining HFM as Market Director in October 2020, Alison flexed her market muscle at Montavilla Farmers Market as Development Coordinator and Manager. Alison holds an M.S. in Nutrition and has shared her expertise in food systems as an educator and holistic nutritionist. Her training as a local food leader, advocacy work as a Hunger-Free Leadership Fellow, and lived experience of hunger give Alison a deep understanding of the intersection between economic marginalization, food security, and health outcomes. Alison believes every person should have access to local, seasonal, culturally appropriate food from their neighborhood farmers market!
Taegan McShane (Market Coordinator)
Ari Rosner (Office Manager)
Ari moved to Portland in 2008, and immediately looked for a farmers market near his Northeast neighborhood. He found Hollywood Farmers Market, and began volunteering weekly in the information booth. A couple years later, a staff position opened up and he came on board as the Community Volunteer Coordinator (later Market Coordinator, and later still, Office Manager). Over the years, the farmers market community has taken on a central place in his life, and he looks forward to seeing old friends and meeting new people. Outside of the market, he works as a contract bookkeeper for non-profits, and enjoys most of the usual Portland hobbies: cycling, hiking, cooking, and gardening.

Risa Lichtman (Secretary)
Risa is a chef and writer living in Portland, Oregon. She is the owner/chef of Lepage Food & Drinks, a small food company featuring Jewish seasonal foods, offering delicious meal delivery, pop-ups, and catering. She is thrilled to be on the Board of the Hollywood Farmers Market after being a dedicated customer for many years. She lives with her wife Jamie, their cat Sylvia, and their new puppy Reuben (like the sandwich). When she’s not in the kitchen or at the market she can be found camping somewhere near water, gardening, hanging out with her chickens, or organizing food-based activist events through Queer Soup Night PDX.
Linda Rasmussen
Linda is a native Portlander. Her work career was with the Communications Workers of America, and now she is a frequent community volunteer. She serves on the board (and is a past President) of the Northeast Community Center, is a reader in the Smart program, and was formerly a CASA volunteer and delivered Meals on Wheels. At the farmers market she is a shopper, but would love to be a volunteer whenever needed.
Bruce Richard
Bruce spent several years working on a wide range of sustainability issues in the Bay Area. Realizing that “Food is the New Black”, he focused his efforts on healthy, accessible food. He joined Abby’s Table to expand its mission to enrich the culinary tapestry of Portland and get connected to the local food industry in a more tangible way. Farmers markets represent a nexus of so much that is good about our local food systems that connects people to their food. As a participant in the food service industry, strong supporter of local agriculture, and the prime food preparer at home, Bruce experienced firsthand the vibrant atmosphere of people coming together at Hollywood Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. He is drawn to both HFM’s great shopping experience for families throughout the east side of Portland, and also its key involvement in promoting healthy food for underserved populations who live right here in our community.
Bruce also spends time as a volunteer leader at Oregon Food Bank’s Learning Garden Program and caring for Portland’s trees as an Urban Forestry tree steward. At home yard in Northeast Portland, he nurtures vegetables, herbs and flowers in its sunny south side yard.
