Changing food industry one farm at a time
You’ve probably heard about the concept of voting with your wallet.
In today’s day this is one of the MOST powerful tools we have to support people and causes we believe in.
Local food and agriculture is one of such causes for me. I love my farmer’s market, learning where my food comes from, and supporting the farmers.
It’s becomes much more personal than buying food from a supermarket.
Don’t get me wrong, I shop at the stores. But these days my first stop is the farmer’s market.
Few years back I met Kate Stillman at my farmer’s market.
Kate is an entrepreneur, caretaker, manager, vet, salesperson and so much more. Her farm is a couple of hours away. She and her crew bring their products to Boston.
Over the past few years I’ve invited Kate to talk to my students in my Sustainability and Food course. Each time students leave with the new appreciation of this complex topic.
Today, I’d like to share with you my latest conversation with Kate. Whether local food is something you are new to or pretty knowledgeable about, you’ll find some pearls of wisdom.
If you’d like to listen to the rest of the conversation, head over to Wellness Insider Network to listen to the episode #13 and get the show notes.
