Later in the month, staff partnered with the Center for Land Based Learning to host the first Pizza for Producers event, a Western Regional Agricultural Stress Assistance Program network initiative. The event promotes holding spaces for farmers to connect and support the agricultural community with a special focus on farmers who are veterans. Attendees had the opportunity to mingle with one another, enjoy great pizza, and participate in a flower bouquet making station provided by Dawnwood Farm. While this event did not have a formal agenda, hosts took this opportunity to briefly speak about mental health and the importance of supporting fellow farmers and neighbors.
