Tastes Of Bainbridge

From BCB... http://bestofbcb.org/tast-013-kevin-haggerty-of-fof/ What IS Friends of the Farms, and how does it serve the community of Bainbridge Island?  In this podcast BCB host Bob Ross talks with the organization's interim director, Kevin Haggerty, about his life experiences and his vision for the organization he serves. Kevin graduated just a few years ago from Lewis & Clark College with a dual degree in Philosophy and German. Following graduation he headed south and worked for AmeriCorps, teaching young people the value of urban agriculture and how to make it work.  After his time in AmeriCorps Kevin moved to Ireland, sponsored by the WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) program to work on a small farm.  It was that experience that led him to Bainbridge Island to work for Friends of the Farms. In this podcast Kevin describes his experiences and discusses the mission of Friends of the Farms. Due to rapid “suburbanization,” small-scale farming has become endangered on Bainbridge Island. Fr
