Growing Community: It's Never Just About Food

We often think of a farm as a place that grows food. But a small farm does so much more than that.It holds up a local economy, circulating dollars in a way no chain store can. It creates belonging, the feeling of being known by the person who grows your food.It carries the identity of a family and a town.And it quietly supports the mental health and the very future of the place it calls home.In this quick episode, we explore how small farms fortify our communities, drawing on research and the real voices of people across the country.We also look at what unravels, slowly and often invisibly, when a farm disappears. Because supporting a farm is never just about food.It's about the kind of town and world you want to live in.One Bite is EverythingOne Bite is Everything explores the connections between food, health, community, the environment, and the economy. Through conversations with farmers, chefs, researchers, advocates, and food system leaders, host Dana DiPrima examines how food touches every aspect of our lives and why understanding our food system has never mattered more.OBIE FactsTop 3% of all podcasts globallyTop 100 food podcasts (22)Top 100 agriculture podcasts (87)More engagement than more than 88% of all podcasts on SpotifyFive-star rating averagePart of Heritage Radio Network, home of the top voices in foodConnectFollow Dana at @xoxofarmgirl and learn more about the For Farmers Movement at forfarmersmovement.com.
