Local Food Hero!

Local Food Hero is a show anyone who eats. We are here to meet local food heroes and explore the greener side of culinary worlds within Minnesota and nationally. We’ll be talking to local chefs and farmers, interview national policy makers as we relish in the joys of good food.

A little bit about us, we both work at a nonprofit called Renewing the Countryside. Local Food Hero is a program of RTC’s local food advocacy work. We gather and showcase profiles of farmers, artists, business owners, community leaders, nonprofit organizers, youth and others who are modeling sustainable rural development. We accomplish our goals by sharing stories of rural renewal, building public awareness and support for sustainable endeavors, providing practical assistance and networking opportunities for those working to improve rural America, and fostering connections between urban and rural people. We have programs working with local food, green travel, rural economic development and have published 8 books. You can find us on the web at www.renewingthecountryside.org
