Hometown Harvest of Southeast Iowa
Face of a Food Champion: Kim Keller
Kim Keller of Blooming Acres Farm is leaving her part-time job to dedicate herself to farming. Until now, she has been splitting her time between vegetable farming and a part-time job as a horticulture specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. “Our business at home has grown so much that I need to care for that,” she explains.
This project summarizes the impact of the local food industry on Iowa’s economy in connection with efforts of the Regional Food Systems Working Group (RFSWG).
