There will always be a special place in my heart for farmers, especially local farmers. My own family were/are farmers and we have two farms that surround us. I can literally see the fields from the window as I type this. I know the hard work and sacrifice that goes into those farms and I know the stories and lives behind them. I’ve grown up with these families and their farms. Both are at least 3rd generation as well. So, when I was asked to help host a Twitter Party that opens up a discussion about how pop culture is shaping the way we look at food I was definitely in!
Farming takes balance, knowledge and patience. |
I hope you all will join us for an informative discussion as well as some great prizes. Here are the details:
What: A Twitter party with the United States Farmers and Ranchers Alliance (USFRA) to discuss how pop culture affects people’s perception of food. The party will preview a series of panel discussions about the intersection of food and entertainment in society, which will be taking place on USFRA’s Food Dialogues website on June 20 and 21. For insights on this topic, we will be joined by real-life farmer/rancher Chris Chinn and other expert guests who will be participating in the panel discussions. Follow USFRA on Facebook for even more discussion.
When: Monday, June 18, 2-3 p.m. ET
Where: We’ll be on Twitter – follow the #FoodD hashtag to track the conversation.
Hashtag: #FoodD
Prizes: USFRA will give away five total prizes – four skillets and one cookware set. Winners will be chosen randomly from among participants who respond correctly to trivia questions.
Hosts: @USFRA, @chrischinn & @theMotherhood
