Bonnie Schade, Leavenworth Market-Day Manager
Bonnie grew up in New York taking the train to explore the city markets, usually arriving in Little Italy and departing with garlic and basil. Summers brought her to Seattle, riding the metro bus with her grandma to Pike Place Market to grab cucumbers and onions to quick pickle. After studying at University of Virginia’s libraries and lawns, Bonnie migrated to the Pacific Northwest seeking water, mountains, and long sunsets. In the evenings after Portland State University graduate classes, Bonnie strolled the parks market gathering asparagus and blueberries. At the time, she wished she could be part of something similar. However, her career in higher education and medical research management had launched. Now, Bonnie is excited to be working with the Cascade Community Markets! When not working or wandering markets, Bonnie plays volleyball in her Cashmere yard, swims in Lake Chelan, hikes hills with her dogs, or chills with her husband, kids, and Kramer the cat.

Melissa O'Dell, Cashmere Market-Day Manager
Hi! Melissa here, it’s my second year at Cashmere as the Market Manager. Things to know about me are I love adventures with my daughter, trying new foods and growing a veggie and flower garden. There’s nothing like being able to grow your own food and try new varieties out.

Shalynn Johnston, Leavenworth Market Assistant
Shalynn grew up in Grangeville Idaho. Raised on a cattle farm and surrounded by wheat fields and gardens. Fishing, hiking, camping, growing things, watching her partner and kids skateboard, yoga and dancing are some of her favorite things to do. She looks forward to getting back to a life working alongside local farmers and creating new relationships within the community.
