Farm to Market

How to Run a Farmers Market in the Middle of a City (feat. Ashley Nathe, General Market Manager)

We are so excited to release the third episode of our podcast, Farm to Market! For this episode, our host, Sina Pleggenkuhle, speaks with Ashley Nathe, our new General Market Manager. Ashley joined our team in May, but here’s the thing: You may not know who she is. You may not understand her background, why she’s involved in this field of work, or why she was chosen for this job. Behind every person, there is a rich and beautiful story, and today, we’ll be telling Ashley's story. - Follow us on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/mplsfarmmarket/] and please visit our website [https://www.mplsfarmersmarket.com/] if you'd like to learn more about our organization.

We Visited a Trout Farm with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture

Welcome back to Farm to Market: a podcast about farmers and the people who love them. We are so happy to be back with our second episode, which is a very special episode indeed. Today’s conversation is in celebration of National Farmers Market Week. This is an incredibly important time for Farmers' Markets around the country as we collectively celebrate the entire farmers' market industry: from market managers to volunteers, to the farmers themselves. At the Minneapolis Farmers Market, we’ve been pulling out all the stops to make this an unforgettable week for our customers and our vendors. To help us celebrate the occasion, we brought on two voices who are crucial to the local farming community here in Minnesota: Jesse Preiner and Thom Petersen. Jesse owns the Trout Monger, which is a trout farming business in Columbus, Minnesota. He tends to keep busy since he’s also the mayor of Columbus. Our other guest, Thom Petersen, serves as Commissioner for the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. Throughout his life, Thom has worked tirelessly to unite political and agricultural action. Oh, and he’s a horse farmer too – he’s cared for over 60 horses in his lifetime. These two individuals have dedicated much of their lives to supporting farmers and, today, they have quite a bit to share. National Farmers Market Week is a time of celebration, but it is also a time of reflection. What is going right in the industry? What is going wrong? How can we work together to create better systems for farmers to thrive? We may not have all the answers, but we’re bold enough to ask the questions. - Jesse is a prominent vendor at the Minneapolis Farmers Market, and you can learn more about him and his business here [https://www.thetroutmonger.com/].
