At the 2019 MOSES Conference, we had the opportunity for a quick interview with Jim Riddle and Joyce Ford from Blue Fruit Farm in Winona MN. Jim and Joyce were awarded Farmer of the Year by MOSES at the 2019 Conference, and it is well deserved.
They have both been involved in the Organic movement since it’s inception, playing their parts not only as farmers, but as educators and advocates as well. They have accomplished a lot in their careers, with numerous positions on boards and organizations, but what’s most important is that they haven’t forgotten they were farmers throughout all of this.
