Episode 90: A New Generation of Agriculture

Farmers’ markets are back in action in the Champaign-Urbana area, but how do these growers get their start, and how are they supported? Meet the Land Connection. Terri & Jordan talk with Jacquelyn, Executive Director, about their farm trainings, education, and resources to help first generation farmers, and how they make local ingredients accessible for all.   We have more ideas on how to get out this Mother’s Day weekend, so tune in at chambanaproud.com or wherever you podcast to start planning.   This episode is sponsored by Krannert Center for the Performing Arts and supported by Busey Bank.   Show links: Krannert Center for Performing Arts: https://krannertcenter.com/ Busey Bank:https://www.busey.com/ The Land Connection: https://www.thelandconnection.org/ Cirque Atlantis: https://gold.cirqueitalia.com/events/1594_Water-Circus-Atlantis-Champaign-IL?cid=GBN Sangamon River Showcase: https://www.champaignforests.org/events/details/upper-sangamon-river-conservancys-sangamon-river-showcase Lights Up!
