"Our Food: Our Stories" Interview with Bill Blair, July 25, 2023

"Our Food: Our Stories" Interview with Bill Blair of the Springfield Community Gardens E. Stanford Market Farm
"Our Food: Our Stories" is an oral history series that seeks to preserve experiences of Ozarks farmers and our Ozarks agricultural heritage. Interviews have been collected from a diverse group of farmers across the region with particular emphasis on the stories of indigenous people, as well as immigrants, veterans, those who are underserved, the socially disadvantaged, individuals of color, as well as beginning farmers. This project is a collaboration between Springfield Community Gardens, Missouri State University Libraries and the MSU Ozarks Poverty Working Group. Springfield Community Gardens is sponsoring this program in partnership with the Missouri Humanities and with support from the Missouri Humanities Trust Fund.
This interview includes the recording of Bill Blair of Springfield Community Gardens E. Stanford Market Farm on July 25, 2023 at Missouri State University’s Strong Hall in Springfield, MO with MSU Professors of Anthropology, Dr. Marnie K. Watson and Dr. Erin Kenny, and Anna Withers, Farmer and Resource Development Manager at Springfield Community Gardens.
