When it comes to local, organic, sustainable food, it can often be a challenge to figure out where the resources are. As Food Freedom Radio’s Roving Reporter, I took a visit to different co-ops to find out resources and tips for shopping at Minnesota co-ops. I visited both Mississippi Market co-op and The Wedge Community Co-op to speak with Liz McMann (Mississippi Market), Josh Resnik (The Wedge), and Elizabeth Archerd (The Wedge). If you are interested in more information, please contact Cirien Saadeh at cisaadeh@gmail.com, Mississippi Market at http://msmarket.coop/connect, or The Wedge Community Co-op at http://www.wedge.coop/contact-us/.
Thank you for the question. This is the EP. We’ll post links tonight/tomorrow to both the episode, the Farm Bill, and the pieces mentioned.
Peas & Justice,
