You don't have to be rich to get real value from shopping Farmers Markets. The Ag Institute of Marin (CA) manages Farmer's Markets in one of the most prosperous regions in the country, the San Francisco Bay area; however there are still many needy people who struggle to put healthy food on their tables. The Ag Institute helps make ends meet with a programs that help make food more affordable for those in need. The Director of Markets, Peter Healey, explains these initiatives, plus other programs and plans, including a proposal to build a Year Round Roofed facility.

For Richer Or Poorer — Peter Healey, Ag Institute of Marin - Farm To Table Talk

Is it best that our food is Local and Organic or Big and Conventional? Our view is “Both, and..” We don’t come to the table with a bias, except that good farming like good food comes in all shapes and sizes. Farm to Table Talk explores issues and the growing interest in the story of how and where the food on our tables is produced, processed and marketed. The host, Rodger Wasson is a food and agriculture veteran.  Although he was the first of his family to leave the grain and livestock farm after five generations farming in America,  he’s continually worked for and with farmers though-out America and around the world. From directly managing commodity boards and councils to presently building the strategic consultancy, Idea Farming Inc., the Farm to Table Talk podcast has been created to satisfy the curiosity of today’s engaged consumers.
