Coming up Thursday on Goddard College Community Radio--two guests on reconstructing local food systems

9:00 - 10:00 am
When Jason Amundsen, a suburban-raised cubical worker, gets laid off in Duluth, Minnesota, he tells his wife, Lucie, not to worry. He has a plan. A pie-in-the-sky dream, if you will. They will start a commercial-scale, pasture-raised egg farm.  She asks if there is another plan. This is the story of how one plucky family formed the first pastured-poultry ranch in the Upper Midwest, a story she chronicled in her book, LOCALLY LAID: How We Built a Plucky, Industry-changing Egg Farm - from Scratch.

Dave Seddon is Board President and CEO of the Maine Farm and Sea Cooperative, America's first farm-institution food service cooperative. Seddon explains how cooperative models feed the triple bottom line, which considers profit, people and planet, and how he is working to re-localize his community and state's food system, with an eye on sustainable farming and fishing. He is interviewed by Melinda Hemmelgarn of Food Sleuth Radio.
