Gathering Episode 14: If you eat and wear clothes, you're involved in agriculture‪!‬ Gathering

Join me, your host, Michelle R Scully to talk all things agriculture with Sharron Zoller, the newly seated State President of California Women for Agriculture (CWA).  We talk about CWA's stated purpose to 'educate, promote, and advocate for the economic sustainability of the vast agriculture community. What does that all mean?  Sharing the story of how the food we depend on comes to be in our stores and on our tables. Our very own Lake County CWA Chapter volunteers are busy year-long putting on the AgVenture program, supporting local high school seniors with thousands of dollars in scholarships, and creating those delicious (and sold-out in minutes!) world-famous pear pies sold at the world-famous Kelseyville Pear Festival.  
Not too many decades ago, 1 out of 3 people were involved in agriculture.  Fast forward to 2022, and now only 2% of people are.  As those ties to the land and food production weaken and we become increasingly disconnected, so too can our appreciation of those who do farm.  With hunger, supply chain issues, inflation, and world unrest, I share CWA's passion to share the story of how the food we eat comes to be at our tables. Hug a farmer y'all!
