Season 2 Episode 67
Dana DiPrima is supporting hardworking small & mid-sized American farmers with small actions that have a big impact. She believes, and I wholeheartedly agree with her, that when farmers win, we ALL win.
I found Dana’s podcast, One Bite is Everything, on Apple Podcasts a few months ago. I have been an avid weekly listener. Dana is tapping into many of the same themes that I have been hearing from farmers….and, although our podcasts and personalities are different, our missions, passions and overall goals are very similar.
I reached out to Dana to interview her for my podcast as I wanted to explore the feedback that she was hearing from farmers and food businesses. She responded right away and we set up a date and time. From that correspondence, she let me know about her non profit - the for farmer’s movement - and directed me to her website. And, of course, I linked over and started reading about all the amazing initiatives she has going on. I came across a farm to table dinner fundraiser that she was hosting in the Catskills in upstate NY. So I called my friend Tim - who is usually up for a new adventure - and we signed up!
A few weeks later I found myself in the Catskills at the historic Beaverkill Valley Inn (known for being the home of fly fishing) on a beautiful Saturday evening, chatting it up with inspiring supporters and dedicated farmers while savoring a farm to table dinner! These types of experiences leave a profound imprint on me, especially because of the new connections that are made and the opportunity to experience a new farm community in the Catskills.
Enjoy my conversation with Dana DiPrima from the One Bite is Everything Podcast and please take her message to heart - do something to impact a small farmer today….we can all do something…it’s as easy as donating $1 or shopping at a local farmers market or farm one day per week. Every bit (or bite) counts!
