“I've been fortunate to be present at the very beginning of a number of projects - I started my own farm, started our community's first farmers' market, and was a pilot partner in Market Match, so it was terrific to attend the first Direct Marketing Summit and confirm that yes, in fact direct marketing and local food systems are growing in strength and numbers all over the Country! It was so great to meet folks from all regions of the country to discuss the challenges, opportunities and the triumphs of working in this sun-up to sundown business!”
