Enjoy the start of our new garden season through the eyes of these attentive observers. Bountiful beets, winecap wanderings, homemade noodles, cider pressing, thimbleberry patches, and honey bees–this year’s photos capture the richness of our area’s foods.
A big thank you to all of our entrants who were willing to share photos of the vibrance and abundance within our local food system! We invite you to take some time to admire the above photos and all of the excellent submissions on WUPFSC’s Flickr page. Here the descriptions or stories attached to the photos can be seen as well as past photos from previous photo contests. Please note that not all participants wished to share their photos with the public, so the Flickr page shares those who did.
Thank you to this year’s judges who helped us make these hard decisions: Clare Fidler (MTU). Bree Tucker (Refill UP), Katrina Linde Moriarty (Portage Lake District Library), and Cindy Wiltse (KBIC NRD).
Thank you to MTU students Maya Klanderman and Isabelle Cervantes for their work in facilitating this year’s contest.
