In this episode of Dawn’s Dirt, I’m bringing you a powerhouse conversation with a farm-grown entrepreneur who’s shaking up the food system in the best way possible. From her roots on a multi-generation farm in Northern Alberta to launching an app that’s basically “Skip the Dishes for farmers,” she’s proof that innovation doesn’t just live in Silicon Valley—it lives in the soil. She is the founder of Weat Local Market App. We talk about building a local food economy that actually serves both producers and consumers, how to cut out the middlemen and bureaucracy, and why hyper-local shopping is the future. Whether you’re a farmer, homesteader, or a busy mama who wants fresh food without the grocery store games, this episode is going to light you up. Let’s get real about how we buy food, who we support, and why healthier, fresher, local food is not just possible—it’s necessary.
