A cooperative business structure can be appealing because of its democratic principles and power-sharing structure, but what does it actually look like to get one off the ground?
Here’s what Katie had to say about her experience sharing her story of legal resilience:
What is your hope for folks who hear your story?
I hope the length and challenges of the journey I have shared does not discourage others, but instead inspires them to dig in and get dirty! The best time to start working together is now so that in 5-10 years your work can start bearing fruit.
In sharing your farm resilience story, what are you most grateful for from that experience?
It is wonderful to make the space to reflect on how I have gotten to where I am and where the farm business and food hub business are at. It was made more enjoyable by sharing and learning in the cohort of other farmers.
What did the storytelling journey illuminate for you? What are you seeing differently as a result of this experience?
The story telling journey showed and reminded me how much work and collaboration it took to get where we are at. I am so appreciative of all the people I have been able to share this journey with. I look forward to continuing the work and being part of a vibrant food system.
