About the Speaker:

Laura Klahre’s work life has spanned the Dept of Interior, Peconic Estuary Program, and The Nature Conservancy before incorporating her own farm in 2009. Blossom Meadow Farm in Southold NY specializes in growing organic berries to make award-winning jam (national Good Food Awards, International Flavor Awards, World Jam Festival) and raising mason bees for sale as cocoons. Now widely coined as "regenerative agriculture," the farm embraces nature to improve soil health and consistently harvest thousands of pounds of premium fruit each year. She often gets lost in thought about pollinators which seems to make her late everywhere she goes.
