Love that the SE group has a "logo" now. II wish there was more involvement across the southeast, but hopefully that will come in the future. Goodhue County Health and Human Services supports the work that you do - just don't have a lot of staff time that we can put towards a large involvement. Good luck! Susan Brace-Adkins
Comment by Erin Meier on August 17, 2012 at 4:12pm Thanks, Susan! This is a way to bring more of our work together across the region. We hope the yet-to-be-named SE food policy council (launching with your/Goodhue's help) will evolve into an umbrella group to channel more resources to various collaborative activities.

Comment by Clara Dux on April 3, 2013 at 12:22pm Hello all in the SE!
I'm currently working with Winona County around local foods through the Americorp VISTA program. I've had a really positive experience the last two years but have to move on. The position is open for another one year term. The position description can be found here. Please direct anyone you know who might be interested in building capacity in local foods in Winona County. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thanks
