Meet Your Farmer

Meet Your Farmer

Reconnect with the source of your food. Nourish your body and the earth.

Meet Your Farmer is a unique program designed to build a deeper relationship between you and your food. Through guided farm tours and farmers market visits, you’ll meet the local growers who bring real, nourishing food to your table.

You’ll learn how organic and regenerative farming practices increase nutrient density, heal the soil, and support a more sustainable food system. You’ll also discover what’s in season throughout the year, and how to incorporate it into simple, nourishing meals that align with the Mediterranean way of eating.

This is more than a field trip. It’s a chance to slow down, learn from the land, and feel more connected to your choices.
