“I’m very hopeful because I see more and more big companies starting to source responsibly raised ingredients, and they’re putting money out there for farmers to do sustainable practices,” says Trisha. “I hope that keeps growing…I think there’s a lot of hope for the future, because there are young farmers out there that have open minds.”

“It’s really about the community and the people that are involved and the ties that they feel with one another. Everyone is tied to the land in some form. And everyone has a place here in the food system.”
