Episode Description:
This episode is the second part of the WA Meat Up Double Feature! In this episode of the Farm Walks Podcast, we sit down with Shelley Muzzall of 3 Sisters Family Farm on Whidbey Island and her butcher Travis Stockstill of Island Grown Farmers Cooperative (IGFC). We cover a lot of ground from the unique Island Grown Farmers Co-op model (the first ever USDA Mobile processing unit of its kind!) and how it has impacted its members and the local meat economy. Later in the episode, Alyssa Jumars, Local Meat Marketing & Capacity Specialist for the WSDA Regional Markets Program, shares some tips and resources for producers and processors in Washington state.
