Food as a verb thanks

Tucker Build

for sponsoring this series

Since 2023, we've published more than 300 stories on regional food, including many profiles of regional farmers and farms.

These farmers? They're young, old, mid-life, veterans, Queer, conservative, liberal, Christian, agnostic, white, Black, Hispanic, male and female.

They grow vegetables, caretake honeybees, raise cattle and hogs and ducks and chickens.

Some farm hundreds of acres. Others? Less than one acre in the heart of an urban food desert.

Each day, they are intimately connected to life and the land.

All have devoted their days and lives to feeding others.

We created a map for our Food as a Verb family. Sort of like a story map, it documents our own Food as a Verb travels, but more importantly, offers you a guide to many of our regional growers.

As we visit more farms, we'll add them to this list.

Zoom in, zoom out — each dot represents a farm we've visited. There's a photo and link to our story, which gives all the info you need on how to support and purchase from these farmers.

These stronger our farmers, the stronger we all are.
