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?

Ask away! It's easy:

• Just submit your question to our “Ask a Farmer” form located HERE by JUNE 30, 2020. More details below on how to submit your question.
• Then, we’ll find farmers from around the state to record their answers to your questions.
• Our goal is to turn your eaters’ and farmers’ answers into fun, 3-5 minute podcast episodes. This project creates a chance for consumers to be curious, learn about farming and food, and connect with farmers from across the state. The project gives farmers a chance to share their world, knowledge, and passion.
