Thaddeus Barsotti | “Building An Economically Sustainable Local Food System”

Over the past fifteen years my brothers and I grew our organic fresh vegetable farm from eighty to over eight hundred acres. Our CSA grew from delivering five hundred boxes per week to our customer’s home to delivering tens of thousands per week across the West Coast. This journey forced us to learn the details of how our food system has traditionally worked and taught us to harness the power of individual people to build a better food system. Please join me as I share our story and offer a solution to creating a robust local food system that can be applied anywhere.
