Send the Market Maven some fan mail! In the last 24 hours, food access programs were put at severe risk by our new administration.

As a farmers market director, this puts the world on its access as the risk is huge to our farmers and our neighbors in need. Learn more in this episode about how food access programs work, and how you can help.
