New Website Focuses on Puget Sound Food System

Filed Under Food System 

Note: This just came in via Diana Vergis Vinh (one of Great City’s new board members) who recently co-founded Urban Farm Hub, a website devoted to providing stories, news, research and resources on our local food system. Here’s the press release:

Urban Farm Hub – Get Down and Dirty

www.urbanfarmhub.org

One day while drinking tea Diana Vergis Vinh and Ashley DeForest started dreaming about how great it would be to create a resource that brought together their love of farming, food and community. Urban Farm Hub was born.

Diana grew up visiting family farms in Iowa and Montana and now farms an urban yard, complete with goats and chickens. When she’s not busy collecting eggs, Diana serves as a public health nurse for Public Health Seattle & King County’s Healthy Eating and Active Living Program. Ashley grew up in dairy country New York living large with the cows and now works on policy issues and community engagement through web design.

Their vision is to combine their skills and passions to bring a needed resource to the Puget Sound region. From national food policy news to local urban farming lore, Urban Farm Hub brings it all together in one place.
