Local Food Week Special

Just in time for Local Food Week
2025, we’re cracking open an important conversation about how
farmers can confidently engage with the public about poultry
production. Our guest this week is none other
than Janelle
Cardiff—Field
Operations Manager at Grey Ridge Eggs and
Chair of Farm & Food Care
Ontario.

Janelle brings her passion for
farming, her experience in egg production, and her leadership in
public outreach to the coop. We talk about why public trust
matters, how to tackle tricky questions from consumers, and simple
ways farmers can share their stories—whether it’s at the farmers’
market, on social media, or around the BBQ.

Whether you’re a seasoned
producer or new to public engagement, this episode is full of
practical insights and encouragement to help you be part of the
bigger conversation about Ontario-grown food.
