“Making decisions about food such as what we eat, how & where it’s grown, how & where it’s prepared, and the community & environment it’s consumed in have great effects on everything from well being, agriculture, environment, political policy, and societal roles. There’s no doubt that food plays a very impactful role—influencing our daily experiences & rural communities—vital to bringing us all together.”

Her ability to work with our local farmers to create menus that are fresh, seasonal, and delicious really helps to elevate the profile of local foods in North Iowa. We’re unbelievably lucky to have her in this area!”
