The podcast comprised entirely of conversations with homesteaders, cottage food producers, and crafters. I'm your host, Mary Lewis. Today I'm talking with Emily at Tiffin Community Kitchen in Tiffin, Ohio. Good morning, Emily. How are you? I'm great. How are you? I'm good. How's the weather in Ohio this morning? ah Wonderful. It's actually going to be 85 today. That's awesome. It's going to be 90 something in Minnesota. 00:29 And I'm done. I'm going to be really happy to see this break this weekend. Yeah, it's time. It's October. It's time. Okay, so tell me a little bit about yourself and what Tiffin Community, whatever it is, Okay. All right. So my name is Emily Reilly. um joined the, it's actually a nonprofit that runs the Community Kitchen, the Farmers Markets, and the Community Gardens. 00:57 So it's Seneca County common ground and it's the nonprofit and I'm the executive director of it. Um, I joined with them in January of this year. So I've only been with them for, was it like 10 months, 10 months now. Um, so Aaron Gerlach, who is the reverend of the Episcopal church here, who started this whole program. Um, he had this huge vision. So once the kitchen was built, then they needed someone to. 01:26 actually take what his vision was and um actually start putting it into motion. So that's what I'm here to do. So I oversee the community kitchen, which is a our mission is to support and improve local food ecosystems. um The kitchen has successfully delivered um kitchen training um and we're directly supporting our local workforce to help strengthen it. um 01:56 I also run the farmers market, um which we operate every single weekend. It's awesome. It's fabulous. I love it. I've never ran a farmers market until this time. But my background is event services and hospitality. So it kind of falls right in line with everything I enjoy doing. um And then the community gardens, which I'm not a gardener, but I oversee that part as well. And it's great because we're able to put garden boxes throughout um Seneca County. 02:26 So people can go and grab their locally sourced tomatoes and cherry tomatoes and green peppers and all that kind of stuff and not have to pay for it. Because sometimes it's not affordable for everybody and we always want to make everything affordable. So that's what the nonprofit kind of is helping um develop in Seneca County. That is fabulous. I love that all three parts are one. 02:54 you know, that they all feed each other. ah So where is Tiffin? What's the nearest big city? ah So it would be between Columbus and Cleveland. Okay. I have probably driven by Tiffin on my drives from Minnesota to Maine to see my parents. Yep. So, okay. Is Tiffin a small town? Is it a suburb? Is it, what is it? Yes. Tiffin is a small community. It's a rural community. 03:22 So, you know, you have Tiffin and then you have a bunch of rural towns around it. Like you have Hopewell and Bascom, New Regal, Cary, Old Fort. So Tiffin is like the center, kind of like a little city um with all these smaller towns around it. And we're a huge farming community. So we are very rural. It's cornfield after cornfield and then you hit soybeans. it's, you know, that's why I love doing the farmer's markets because you have. 03:50 all these locally sourced vegetables and baked goods that are coming in um that you sometimes don't get ah in the cities. I lived in Columbus for eight years, loved it, but I miss living in a rural environment. Yeah, I can't imagine living in a big city again. I don't ever want to if I don't have to. um So if it's a rural area, then 04:19 How is this helping? Because I would think that people in a rural area would already have these things covered. me why it got started. So why it got started is because um we want to make sure everything is accessible. at the farmers market, actually offer, you can use your EBT and SNAP benefits. We also accept the senior coupons and WIC coupons. All that is accepted at the local farmers market, which makes it 04:48 a little more accessible for families that don't have a lot of income, don't have a lot of money to spend on this stuff. And we also provide training. So we have taken, we took a group of 12 people from the community kitchen to the local farmers market, showed them how the shop use their EBT benefits. Then they came back to the kitchen and they got to learn how to cook what they purchased. And I think that is one of the missing pieces um in this 05:17 in this community and actually in the world now that people don't know ...
