This project is a collaborative initiative between three exceptional Local Food advocates. Jessica Piccinin, Mandi

Lunan and Shauna Fidler. Together, they bring decades of experience in farming, food entrepreneurship, design and

dedicated community building. Deeply connected across the region, these three women are committed to

supporting local food systems and community resilience. Their combined networks and expertise ensure the

podcast is grounded in authentic relationships and reflects the true diversity of the Kootenay’s food culture.
