Kayo Green - Farm Manager
Kgreen@bradyfarm.org
Kayo transplanted herself to U.S. in 2012 from her home country, Japan. She joined Brady Farm team in 2021 due to her bursting desire to learn land stewardship and cultivating grace from nature in the form of food. She often wonders “how can I create a space for us to connect with ourselves and others (human and non-human) deeper through farming?”, loves tea and poetry.

Alex is a midwestern transplant from Iowa, calling Syracuse home since 2018. They were among the first apprentices at Brady Farm in 2022. For Alex, food justice is a perennial pursuit, one which attracted them to a program that centered the mutual cultivation of land and steward. Off the farm, you can find Alex performing onstage at local theaters or cooking foraged meals for their friends.
Ethan Tyo - Market Manager
Etyo@bradyfarm.org
Ethan grew up in the Mohawk territory of Akwesasne and found his way to Syracuse a little over a decade ago. With a background in food systems, his passion for food culture, experiential learning, and urban gardening brought him to Brady Farm where he strives to grow sustainable communities one seed at a time. When not on the farm, you can find him on his rooftop garden or scouting for the perfect hammock spot.
Daquella Daye - Crew Leader
Daquella has been a long time member of the Brady Faith Center, and grew up in Syracuse. She began to love gardening by helping at the Stone Soup Children's Garden, and now shares her gifts at the farm. Her favorite vegetable is green tomatoes, and her favorite color is yellow. If you need to laugh, Daquella has your back.
