“The Meet Your Farmer series is a spotlight on the local farmers, ranchers and food producers who provide delicious, nutrient-rich food to our community,” says Amy Mattias, Program Director of Sun Valley Institute for Resilience. “It is 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.”
