For Winni Woods Farm, loving local has everything to do with valuing community connections and building resiliency in the face of great struggle. Their story highlights how the unpredictability of farming is made that much more challenging and precarious when you don’t own your own land.

Though Winni Woods Farm struggled through a sudden loss of access to the land, they were able to adapt to cut flowers and jarred goods. Through collaboration and networking with fellow farm and food businesses in the Lakes Region, Winni Woods Farm was able to create a new way to help feed their community through value added goods made in one of the only local food processing facilities in the state - Genuine Local.
