Join Farm Aid as part of their ongoing Breaking Bread Lunch and Listen series for a powerful conversation on farmer mental health after climate disasters, featuring farmers and service providers from North Carolina and Washington State sharing their experiences, challenges and why prioritizing mental health is vital. You’ll hear from libby reed from Washington Farmland Trust, Angela Sorg with Purdue University Extension, farmer McKayla R. Robinette from the North Carolina Agromedicine Institute’s Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network, Ellen Scheffer of Frisky Girl Farm + Steel Wheel Farm partnership, and Stuart Beam, a farmer in Rutherford County, North Carolina.
Breaking Bread: Lunch and Listen features stories that uplift the shared history of food and farming; organizing and resistance that’s got us to where we are now. We pair that history with work that folks are doing presently, that will inform the future we want for each other as it relates to farming and agriculture, food, culture and rural communities. This storytelling and making our narratives public is a key and critical part of community organizing. Please join us!
