After a couple of weeks in their hilltop paddock, and a couple of litters of piglets born up there, my @Women, Food and Agriculture Network mentee, Emma, and I set up a new paddock and opened it up.

Whoa, didn’t expect to make the front page! A friend of my friend @shelby_moves asked what they could do in response—I sent along the ideas @cocoonery put in the zine she made to tell this story.

Wonderfarm has been rocked by the cancellation of a federally-funded program called Local Food Purchase Assistance (LFPA). Through LFPA, last year I was guaranteed I’d have buyers for all the pork I could produce. I grew my heard of pigs and hoped this would be a big growth year for the farm. A few weeks ago, the program was cancelled. Wonderfarm will have around four tons of pork products harvested and processed this year, but suddenly no guaranteed buyer for it.

I’m asking for your help: yes, I’d love you to purchase some pork, but I’d also love the LFPA program to be reinstated so my pork can get to folks facing food scarcity. Good food shouldn’t only be available to those who can afford it. Please write your state reps and ask them to fund LFPA at the state level, so quality food from small farms like Wonderfarm can keep reaching folks who have the least access to it.
