Spotlight: Happy Family Organics' Support Farmers with the Launch of their Regenerative Farmer Fund

Two years later, they've completed a second pilot and have now launched a Regenerative Farmer Fund to provide ongoing support to farmers in their supply chain. We sat down with their Sustainability Director, Katie Clark, to learn more.
