Local Food Week Special

Just in time for Local Food Week 2025, we're cracking open an important conversation about how farmers can confidently engage with the public about poultry production. Our guest this week is none other than Janelle Cardiff—Field Operations Manager at Grey Ridge Eggs and Chair of Farm & Food Care Ontario.

Janelle brings her passion for farming, her experience in egg production, and her leadership in public outreach to the coop. We talk about why public trust matters, how to tackle tricky questions from consumers, and simple ways farmers can share their stories—whether it's at the farmers' market, on social media, or around the BBQ.

Whether you're a seasoned producer or new to public engagement, this episode is full of practical insights and encouragement to help you be part of the bigger conversation about Ontario-grown food.
