Farmers Day

Last year, at the height of the pandemic, a new campaign called the “All For Farmers” initiative was launched to help farmers across the country who were facing financial hardship. Through a partnership with the non-profit – American Farmland Trust (AFT) – Tillamook awarded 130 grants to farmers in 25 states. The grants mainly went to under-represented populations in the farming community, including female, nonbinary, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and beginning farmers. Tillamook County Creamery Association – the Oregon-based dairy co-op known for its epic cheese, ice cream, and yogurt – is a champion for the future of farming. Jocelyn Bridson, Director of Environment & Community Impact, Tillamook County Creamery Association talks with Mark Alyn about the future of farming.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.
