About this episode

The episode features a tour of Meadowlark Market & Kitchen, discussing its role in supporting local food systems and reducing waste.

This episode of Fremont Biz is a field trip-style conversation recorded on location—an immersive tour through Meadowlark Market & Kitchen in Lander. Fremont Biz sits down with Val Shao, plus board members Hannah Darrin and Ryan Bresson, to explore how the market—operated by Slow Food Wind River—is strengthening our local food system. You’ll hear how Meadowlark supports local farmers, ranchers, and food makers, helps reduce food waste, and increases access to fresh, nutritious food... all while creating space for small producers and food entrepreneurs to grow. Along the way, the crew highlights what you can actually find in the market, from ready-to-eat/grab-and-go options to community events and educational programs that keep local food sustainability moving forward in Fremont County. The crew even had a chance to taste some freshly made soup, with fresh local ingredients!
