The 9th Annual Poudre River Forum is approaching quickly! Have you bought tickets yet? Mark your calendars for March 1 at AIMs Welcome Center in Greeley, CO. Register today at https://ow.ly/Ky7650QpeKx This year's theme will focus on "The Cost of Water" concerning infrastructure, storage, treatment, delivery, agriculture, food, housing and more! To create an ideal environment for productive conversations around the cost of water, the PRF will bring together industry professionals and community members who farm, deliver water, recreate, and advocate for river health to learn from one another and explore how to move from conflict to collaboration to make the Poudre River "the world's best example of a healthy working river."

Have a listen to this - our good farmers should be supported by our councils, but not thwarted or constrained by obstructive layers of bureaucracy…. Catchment groups(well resourced) and catchment plans and community leadership go hand in hand with agile farming leaders being lighthouses for others. There’s a place for regulation for sure but there’s also a place for independant community led change based on good science and catchment plans.

Great ideas are a time a dozen... Bringing them to fruition is something else. Hats off to my Restorative Farms co-founder, Owen Lynch, Larry Henderson (DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) and Jenny Eyer (American Heart Association) for getting this project off the ground....and to our stalwart Restorative Farms team of farmers and food system practioners who really make it happen. And while, I'm at it...thank you, Nadine S. Lee for your ongoing support. This innovative farmers market could be the stepping stone toward something even more impactful—permanent local produce stores in our most underserved communities. We view the DART line as an “artery”.. bringing aspiring urban farmers and comminity shoppers to our Hatcher Station Training Farm.. it also serves as a potential conduit to bring fresh produce directly to communities with limited access to healthy food. This pilot farmers market not only addresses immediate nutritional needs but also demonstrates the demand for fresh, locally grown options. As this pilot program gains traction, it can pave the way for sustainable, long-term solutions such as establishing permanent produce stores and provide consistent access to nutritious food, empowering residents to make healthier choices while supporting local agriculture. This market is a practical, on-the-ground model that works. With DART’s reach, could eventually become a network of local food hubs, transforming Dallas food deserts into thriving, food-secure communities.
