Sara Patterson likes to call herself a "Weston A. Price kid", grateful for her parents who dared to question the status quo. Their bold choices?home birth, opting out of vaccinations, breastfeeding, avoiding fluoride, drinking raw milk and choosing organic food?have profoundly shaped Sara's health and inspired her life's work. Now, at thirty, she is a passionate advocate for state and federal legislation that expands access to the food we choose. She has successfully run an organic and biodynamic farm for sixteen years.?

She finds herself pondering why some young people seem to struggle with valuing food and often rebel against their upbringing. Sara is concerned about the next generation's connection to nutrition and local farming. How can we inspire young mothers, children and emerging farmers to join the movement? ?She will share her story and offer suggestions based on her own experience as a young farmer and advocate. ?Let's work together to nourish our communities for future generations!
