Vallery Lomas won ABC’s “Great American Baking Show,"" but the season never aired due to unfortunate circumstances far beyond her control. She remains undettered, and has been growing her baking presence online and through TV appearances. She also recently penned a moving tribute to the late Leah Chase.

One of our favorite ways to spend a Friday evening is celebrating food activism– so we completely lucked out on January 19th, when HRN had a front row seat at the Good Food Awards. This is the 8th year that the organization has spotlighted the many food producers across the country who are currently excelling at social good and sustainability, while also creating delicious food. 199 winners– from 15 different categories– received medals, and along the way, we also heard inspirational speeches from some of the winners, plus icons Alice Waters, Madhur Jaffrey, and Sarah Weiner, founder of the Good Food Awards, emceed by the one and only Sam Mogannam of Bi-Rite Market. Tune in to hear these speeches and more from the ceremony.

The day before things kicked off at the Good Food Mercantile at Union Market in Washington D.C., the festivities began with Good Food USA's Small Business Breakfast Panel: Tips & tricks on starting, scaling, and surviving your venture. Introduced by Sarah Weiner, Executive Director of the Good Food Foundation, the panel was moderated by Ezekiel Emanuel. Emanuel is an oncologist, bioethicist, and health policy expert at the University of Pennsylvania—though you may recognize his name from his work on the Affordable Care Act and former First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move Initiative—and he is now working with Shawn Askinosie to create a premium chocolate bar with beans from Madagascar.

The panelists are superstars of the good food movement, including Elias Cairo of Olympia Provisions, Danielle Vogel of Glen's Garden Market, Ann Yang of Misfit Juicery, Shanika McCloud of Greenplicity, and Sarah Gordon of Gordy's Pickle Jar. They share their stories, their struggles, and the best business advice they've ever received.

Many thanks to Union Market for providing this recording!

This week on Feast Yr Ears, Sarah Weiner joins Harry to talk about the Good Food Awards and why makers and sellers of food are so closely connected in the goals of Seedling Projects, the Good Food Awards, and the future of real food.

Sarah has worked side by side with the sustainable food movement’s founders and visionaries across the globe. As the Director of Communication for the Slow Food International Office in Italy, she was immersed in the roots of the food movement before heading to California to become Alice Waters’ “Girl Friday” (in Alice’s words) for two years. Next she spearheaded the development of Slow Food Nation as its Content Director, produced the 20,000 person Organic Food Festival in Bristol, England for the Soil Association, developed the Art.Food.Hope fund-raising campaign on the eve of Barack Obama’s Presidential Inauguration, and co-founded Seedling Projects.
