CommonGround, a group of women farmers helping consumers sort through misinformation about food and agriculture, is celebrating its 10th anniversary.
Southwestern Minnesota Farmer Lauren Biegler says farmer volunteers talk with consumers about decisions made on the farm including what crop they grow and how they grow it.
“Once we can establish that we’re coming from the same place even though we have different occupations and live in different places and different lifestyles, then we can start talking about some of the bigger issues and concerns that they might have about food,” she says.
