【講師紹介】
Zoë Ida Bradbury氏

Born onto a small sheep ranch on the Oregon, farmer and writer Zoë Ida Bradbury grew up birthing lambs in the spring, watching salmon spawn in the fall, and taming plums and tomatoes into canning jars all summer. Her love of food, farming and rural livelihood carried her full-circle back to her native coastal Oregon, where the 33-year-old now runs her own farm, with the help of her family, one employee, a couple of tractors, and a team of draft horses. The farm produces over 100 varieties of vegetables, fruit and berries for local restaurants, grocery stores, farm stand, upick, food banks, and a 100+ share community supported agriculture program.

Zoe is a Food and Society Policy Fellow and a tireless advocate for young and beginning farmers. She has written extensively on the topic and most recently co-edited a book of essays by new farmers entitled Greenhorns. Her writing has also appeared in Edible Portland, USA Today, Oregon Coast Magazine, The Oregonian, Grist.org, Draft Horse Journal and Stanford Magazine. She's the author of the online blog Diary of a Young Farmer.

Zoe completed her undergraduate work at Stanford University, where she studied ecological anthropology with a focus on sustainable agriculture. She received her master's degree from Antioch University with a focus on rural development, food systems and community change.

She makes her home in the rural community of Langlois with her husband, Daniel and two year old daughter, Cleo.
