Who’s Behind The Wheel
Turnip Truck Leadership
You won’t find a more dedicated, educated bunch of local and natural foodies than our Turnip Truck family. We might not be hauling greens on a flatbed, but we deliver the goods daily in the form of friendly service and product expertise.
JOHN DYKE
Founder
John Dyke originally hails from a working family farm in Greeneville, Tennessee, but he has hung his hat in East Nashville for more than two decades. Upon settling in the heart of the city, John realized how much he missed the fresh produce he had become accustomed to as a child. Inspired and encouraged by neighbors who craved the same natural goodness, he set out to bring the bounty of the farm to town.
John opened his first store in East Nashville’s 5 Points neighborhood in 2001 and has been serving Nashville ever since. A champion for independent farmers, John is committed to revealing the timeless wisdom of eating “real food”. The store’s cheeky name underscores his mission to bring farmers the respect and support they deserve.
ADAM WILLIAMS
Chief Financial Officer
As CFO, Adam manages all financial aspects of our business. Prior to joining the Turnip Truck, Adam was CFO at Provence, where he worked for over ten years. With a passion for homegrown and locally crafted food and drink, the native Nashvillian spends his free time brewing craft beer and tending his own organic garden. Adam credits his mother, one of the area’s organic gardening pioneers, with planting the seed that led him to this position today.
