Rural farmer and mother of eight Johanna Trenerry tells the story of how she helped form a farm trail to give people a taste of farm life firsthand. She also dissects how political advocacy is important for smarter farm policies that increase access to healthy produce, not only for city dwellers, but also the residents in her own town. Funded by The California Endowment with Kaiser Permanente Community Benefit Program.
Did you think of a farmer as a strong woman in Happy Valley CA with 8 children, fruit trees, vegetables and big gardens? She invites visitors to see how a farm works, along with 45 local farmers in a Farm Trail, and asks legislators to make it easier to bring fresh produce to the community, including local schools.
Great info. Thank you.
