Hi Everyone,

I am very excited to have Michelle Lynn Hughes joining me on my show this week. I first met Michelle a few years ago at a NOFA-NY Conference in Saratoga Springs, back when she was the Co-Director for Rolling Grocer 19, a nonprofit grocery store that uses a tiered pricing system to fight food insecurity. Michelle is now the Associate Director of Regional Food Programs at the Glynwood Center in Cold Spring, NY. This role allows Michelle to use her passion for connecting diverse people with varied experiences to create a more just and resilient food system in the Hudson Valley. At Glynwood, Michelle co-manages the Food Sovereignty Fund, and leads the “CSA is a SNAP” and “Regional Food for Health” programs. Prior to working with Rolling Grocer 19,  Michelle was the Director of Investments and Partnerships for the National Young Farmers Coalition, and for 10 years directed a program at GrowNYC where she helped 20 immigrant families establish independent farm businesses on a combined 400 acres. Michelle and her husband also run Reclamation Herb Farm, a medicinal herb farm at their home in Germantown, NY. Michelle holds a BS in Conservation Ecology and Agroecology from Rutgers University. I hope you can join us on Thursday for a great conversation about food access, food insecurity, and the work of the Glynwood Center to level the playing field.
