Ask - A - Farmer
Ever wanted to ask a farmer how in the world they got into agriculture? Or what their biggest fear is? Have you been curious about how that baker at the farmer’s market perfects her sourdough? Or what life is like on a fifth-generation farm? Maybe you want to ask something about the pandemic: How are farmers’ businesses doing? Where do I find starter plants or good produce or meat for dinner?
