On this episode we are grateful to have Anna Knight. Her family has farmed citrus trees, and now berries and vegetables for five generations in Redlands, CA. Their farm has partnered with School Food Professionals to support local students for two decades. For Anna, the large purchases schools make from her farm enabled her family to pay for her and her brother’s college education. Her mission is to ensure that small family farms in her community can continue to operate and thrive in perpetuity.
We are having this conversation at Anna’s Orange Grove outside of LA. Anna and I met when she was a guest speaker at Alice Waters Farm to School event last October at the Smithsonian in Washington DC.
