Learn from Network Founder Oran Hesterman and Other Experts


Fair Food Network, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, was founded in 2009 on the belief that food can strengthen local economies, support communities, and spark meaningful change. Food brings people together, creating opportunities for collaboration and innovation.


In keeping with that mission, the organization is presenting a webinar titled Strengthening Local Food Economies in Rural America. The free event will take place on Tuesday, March 18 beginning at 11 a.m. central.


According to the organizers:


Join Fair Food Network’s Founder and Resident Champion Oran Hesterman for an insightful conversation with Keith Schneider, Senior Editor at Circle of Blue and contributor to The New York Times and Jon Henry, Owner of Jon Henry General Store.


As rural America faces challenges from industry consolidation and the rise of big-box retailers, this webinar will explore how small businesses, especially grocery stores, can thrive while boosting local economies. We’ll dive into actionable solutions for keeping food local, how nonprofits and community initiatives are making an impact, and what we can all do to support the backbone of rural economies.


Don’t miss this timely discussion on building resilience for the future of food in rural America.
