How do we design a community and food system that truly supports our people, our environment, and our society especially in the face of changing mountain climates?
In this special edition of Public Affairs, we dive deep into sustainable living in the high country and offer an exclusive preview of Light Bites, an exciting new podcast being developed right here in our community.

Meet the Guests
We sat down with three brilliant local leaders who are actively shaping the future of food, agriculture, and land stewardship in our region:
- Aila Holley from Sisu Farms
- Robyn Wilson from Grandma Miller’s
- Trish Cyman, local permaculturist
What Is Covered
The break down about what it takes to cultivate true resilience in high-altitude environments:
- Permaculture Design Principles: Exploring a practical framework that works with nature rather than against it to sustain both community members and local ecosystems.
- High-Country Drought Strategies: Examining the critical factors and proactive steps we must take during periods of drought and low winter snowpack.
