This spring, the Meet Your Farmer webinar series will connect residents and visitors to their regional food producers. The series, presented by the creators of the Locally Grown Guide, runs from February through June. Each session focuses on a different category of locally and regionally produced food. Producers will discuss their growing practices, challenges and successes, offerings, and how and where to enjoy their products.
“It is also more than just healthy food for them. These producers are instituting regenerative practices, creating local jobs, and making decisions that restore our regional environment. They are a driver of our economy and our resilience. We are thrilled to be supporting them and connecting them to regional eaters,” says Amy Mattias, program director of the Sun Valley Institute for Resilience.
All Meet Your Farmer webinars will be hosted during the lunch hour, 12 to 1 p.m., on the last Wednesday of each month. Upcoming topics are All About Small Grains (March 31), All About Eggs, Meat & Dairy (April 28), All About the Locally Grown Guide (May 26), and All About the Wood River Farmers’ Market (June 30).
