It is such an honor to be able to work with friends with disabilities at the Wisconsin Innovation Kitchen.
Tom Schraeder and Annette (Master of the Universe) and their entire team at the Hodan Center have created a strategic moment in time for rural economic development and regional food systems.
The opportunities for work, entrepreneurship, economic development and community building through the kind of regional food system experiments we're running are significant. Importantly they're replicable.
I believe our model of small scale food processing facilities can be utilized by people with disabilities to create and grow their own small businesses. The fact that our model is making good jobs for other folks with disabilities is a great piece of the puzzle.
