Before founding Henefer’s Field & Fork, Lynn Wood had already established herself as a productive and committed community member. She was a founding member of N.S. Unite, a Board Member for the Park City Arts Council, a Certified Public Accountant, and a member of the Coalville City Council. From this wealth of experience and her passion for local agriculture, she conceived the idea of crafting hand-made meal kits featuring ingredients sourced directly from our local farms and ranches in Summit County, delivered directly to your door.

Her vision for Field & Fork was born out of a desire to address our rural communities' challenges. She wanted to provide delicious food while telling the story of our agricultural heritage and bringing new lifeblood to the local economy. Wood expressed her unwavering commitment in an interview, saying, "I had an idea I just couldn't let go of. We can find ways to support our local ag business."

Hoping to capture some of the food sales associated with Park City's vacation rental market, Lynn wanted to assist in bringing various revenue streams to the east side of Summit County. Field & Fork's business model creates opportunities for local small agricultural growers and food producers to flourish. Her sources include L2 Ranch (a six-generation ranch owned by the Leavitt family in Oakley featuring 100% grass-fed beef), Madsnacks Produce (nutrient-dense organic vegetables from Oakley), Buffalo Run Ranch (ranch-raised bison from Woodland), Moonshadow Farms (vegetables raised by Park City’s Andrea Morgan), The Stock Exchange (a five-star Kamas butcher), and Higbee Honey (on a mission to re-ignite the love affair between humans and honey from bees in the beautiful Morgan valley). 



With over 30 years of experience as a Certified Public Accountant, Lynn Wood has served as a tax advisor and financial controller for numerous small to midsize businesses. This extensive professional background has equipped her with the financial acumen and business savvy necessary to lead Field & Fork to success. For example, in addition to providing meal kits, Field & Fork offers classes, workshops, and monthly in-person events. They are planning even more revenue-producing experiences that foster entrepreneurship, like commercial kitchen rentals and showcasing locally grown meat and produce during make-and-take meal nights.

Eighteen-year-old Tad Williams, the son of Jed and Crystal Williams from Wanship, is in his third year as a rodeo competitor. In a recent competition, which featured the top 45 steer wrestlers in the nation aged 19 and under, he showcased impressive skills. With more points than any other contestant, he has competed in prestigious Ote Berry events, named after the four-time PRCA World Champion steer wrestler and member of the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. These rodeos have taken him to Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Utah, making his family and community proud. 

Tad is no newcomer to the winner’s circle. He was named the 2023 U.S. Junior Steer Wrestling Champion at the Marble Falls, Texas finals. He is a three-time Utah High School Steer Wrestling Champion and will have the chance to set a state record as the four-time champion this year. He has competed in rodeo since he was nine years old. Goat tying and team roping were his first events. He had much success as a youngster, which fueled his drive to continue. His family has been very encouraging of his rodeo efforts. Practices have always been a family activity, with Grandpa Vern Williams running the chute every night. Vern and Michelle have been a big part of this rodeo journey.

When asked what experiences have contributed to his success as a rodeo cowboy, Tad answered that working on the family ranch, being involved in school activities, and his job driving sleighs at Deer Valley in the winter have helped him along the way. He has a fantastic attitude and an outstanding work ethic. Tad realized early on in his rodeo career that he would need a good herd of cattle to practice on to help build his skills. His parents may have helped get him started, but Tad has built his herd up to 40 steers and has been able to lease the steers to a rodeo company for the last three seasons.

Williams has become friends with top cowboys who have competed in the National Finals Rodeo, such as Tyler Waguespack and Cash Robb. He has nothing but praise for the steer wrestling cowboys when he says, “In bulldogging, we have a close-knit group of guys. Everyone’s there supporting each other, pushing each other to do their best, and they’re trying to do their best as well. For example, recently, Cash Robb ran one in Denver. He broke the barrier and was at a time of 14 seconds. He came right back and jumped on his haze horse to haze for me to try to help me win. That’s what it’s about. Most guys are trying to help each other.”

Chief Washakie was a prominent Shoshone chief who was active throughout Summit County.

Born in the early 1800s, Chief Washakie rose to a leadership position in the 1840s. During this time of increasing migration to the West, Washakie chose an alliance with the United States and told his people to “learn all they can from the white man because he is here to stay, and they must live with them forever.”

Known for his wisdom and diplomacy, Chief Washakie understood that authentic leadership came not from force but from a deep connection to the land, his people, and the values that sustained them for generations. His legacy encourages us to bridge divides and build a world that honors the dignity of all people.

Lucie Washakie, a descendant of Chief Washakie, stated, “Chief Washakie was an honorable person, protecting his people, and this exhibit helps keep that story alive.” Lucie’s journey to connect with her Shoshone roots has been deeply personal, shaped by her childhood in foster care. “I grew up away from my culture, but now I’m all in. This is for my grandchildren and my children so that they can be proud and so we can keep our heritage alive.”

The exhibit, on loan from the University of Wyoming’s American Heritage Center collection, will be displayed at the Coalville Branch Library from March 17 through May 9.

Bi-lingual Community Resources App Launches

N.S. Unite Board Member Chantal Guadarrama brainstorms a smartphone app designed to improve access to community resources for bi-lingual communities.

By Shaun Powis, Editor

A talented group of emerging leaders in our community developed an app designed for Spanish-speaking residents, providing them with easy access to essential services and information on one convenient platform.

Chantal Guadarrama, a board member of N.S. Unite and an employee at Summit County Health presented the idea to a steering committee. She wanted a place where users could access information about community events, opportunities for education, legal services, and even healthcare. Imagine having access to all that information from the convenience of your smartphone.

It works by allowing organizations to upload critical information, translating it into Spanish and then giving app users bi-lingual functionality. The project bridges gaps, streamlines communication, and promotes inclusivity. Visit https://colectiva.adalo.com/app for download.
