Rooted in Renewal: Regenerative Agriculture, Healthy Communities, and the Future of Our Food

What if growing healthier food could also heal our land, strengthen our community, and create more opportunity for the next generation?

In this talk, Virginia Bolshakova, Barry County native and Executive Director of Pierce Cedar Creek Institute, shares her personal story from a local family farm to a career in agroecology, and how regenerative agriculture offers real hope for rural communities. Learn how simple practices like cover cropping, composting, and school/community gardens connect to the health of our soil, our families, and our future.

Whether you're a gardener, a parent, a farmer, or just curious about where our food is headed, you’ll leave with new ideas and practical ways to get involved…right here at home.
