In this episode of the Farm Walks Podcast, we have the opportunity to talk with Bil Thorn of Sky Island Farm in Humptulips, WA about low-risk marketing outlets and food safety best practices for direct-to-consumer marketing and wholesale outlets. Bil also addresses innovative ways to find farmland and his approach to scaling up their business by expanding their market reach. To close out this episode, we get to chat with Laura Raymond, WSDA Regional Markets Program Manager. Laura shares about innovative marketing strategies and safety precautions employed by direct-marketing farms during COVID to provide our communities with local food while keeping farmers, farm workers, and consumers safe.
