Cheryl Gilmore joined Food Farms And Chefs Radio Show, first discussing how her career blossomed from one opportunity to the next, and ultimately rooting her path as the Wrightstown Market Manager. Per Wrightstown Farmers Market's website, "On September 29, 2006 the newly founded Bucks County Foodshed Alliance held a Harvest Festival at the Middletown Grange Fairgrounds in Wrightstown to kick off the Wrightstown Farmers Market, a new kind of farmers market that would inspire numerous others in the county." They continued by explaining their mission, which was, "To provide a thriving outlet to connect consumers and producers of local, sustainably grown food products so that it strengthens the community and local farming economy." https://www.wrightstownfarmersmarket.org
