Bethel Erickson

Market Director

Originally from the Midwest, Bethel professionally dabbled in social work and politics in big cities and small towns across the country, before moving to Texas to work at the World Hunger Relief Farm in 2008. Seeing a need for more outlets for local agricultural producers, she worked with a handful of other community members to launch the Waco Downtown Farmers Market in 2011.

Bethel is passionate about building community food security through local food production. She has two sons – Jasper Jack and Angus Augustus.
