In this workshop, Beth will show you how to be a more impactful storyteller by linking your personal story to the broader issues and opportunities within our food system. The workshop will consist of instruction, writing time, and discussion, so bring along a notebook and pen! Registration Required (Free for HHNI/Grow. Eat. Play. Members | $20 for non-members).
Beth Hoffman has written about food and agriculture for much of her adult life and was a faculty member in the Media Studies at the University of San Francisco. She and her husband John moved in 2019 from San Francisco to rural Iowa where they farm John’s family’s 570 acres, also known as Whippoorwill Creek Farm. She wrote the book Bet the Farm: The Dollars and Sense of Growing Food in America about their journey, and makes regular updates on her Substack, In the Dirt. The couple raises pasture-raised beef, goats, and vegetables, and also forage for mushrooms.
