Episode 25: Chickens, Choices and Checkout lines
Local Food Week Special Just in time for Local Food Week 2025, we’re cracking open an important conversation about how farmers can confidently engage with the public about poultry production. Our guest this week is none other than Janelle Cardiff—Field Operations Manager at Grey Ridge Eggs and Chair of Farm & Food Care Ontario. Janelle brings her passion for farming, her experience in egg production, and her leadership in public outreach to the coop. We talk about why public trust matters, how to tackle tricky questions from consumers, and simple ways farmers can share their stories—whether it’s at the farmers’ market, on social media, or around the BBQ.
