Recently, the Vermont agriculture community - and Vermont overall - lost someone who poured her heart and soul into the organic farming movement. Enid Wonnacott passed away January 18 at her home in Huntington. Until stepping down last fall, Wonnacott was executive director of The Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA-VT).
In this episode, Seven Days food writer, Melisa Pasanen, shares her memories of Wonnacott and talks about her life, accomplishemts and the impact she had on organic farming. Also, hear about a project that Wonnacott was unable to finish - a farm walk - that will hopefully come to fruition through the help of others.
