"Sustainability and education are of prime importance to us."
Farren and co-organizer Casey Rudkin set up the email list to provide a venue for like-minded people to expand their local purchase options and connect with others in their community. Group members can post notice of their extra produce, requests for locally raised eggs and meat, or even local agricultural information.
"In this way, we hope to expand availability and allow us all to enjoy the variety and bounty of the Keweenaw," Farren notes.
