Petaluma Bounty's  Program Director,  Suzi Grady, wins  Food & Farm Advocate of the Year Award!

Every year, the Farmer's Guild recognizes Californians contributing to " a stronger local food economy, promoting food justice and empowering a new generation of agrarians." 

This year Petaluma Bounty's own Suzi Grady was named the Food & Farm Advocate of the Year. We are so proud of her and all of our shared community accomplishments for a just food system that works for everyone. More from the Farmer's Guild : "While not directly in the field, this food advocate is working to support new farmers, raise awareness about sustainable agriculture and build food systems with equity and access."
