Building Bellingham

Brianna Widen - Widnor Farms | S3E6


Listen Later

Widnor Farms offers beef, chicken, lamb and pork along with other farm goods. In this episode, Brianna tells us about the process of transforming a rundown farmhouse into a home, and arid land into pasture that feeds their rotating herds of cows, pigs, lambs and chickens. Throughout the story, she talks about the challenge farmers have finding processing plants in our area, the centralization of the US food system, and how carbon-neutral farms purchase carbon credits from places like Widnor Farms. She dug into how they made the decision to sell direct-to-consumer, how ROI can't be calculated on a short timeframe, and how she grew their Instagram platform to be both educational and a place of connection.
