Episode Synopsis


Here’s a feel good conversation for you! Meet Ben Collier, a recent graduate and co-founder of The Farmlink Project. At the start of the pandemic, Ben and his brother learned that ONE THIRD of ALL food goes to waste… while MILLIONS of people go hungry. They saw a need and opportunity to change that by rescuing fresh produce that would otherwise go to landfills, and delivering this food to food banks all around the country. The Farmlink Project has since delivered more than 50 million pounds of food to those in need! And this is just the beginning…Farmlink’s ultimate goal is to create a sustainable food system where 35 million+ Americans don't need to go to a food bank to feed themselves and their families; creating a world where everyone has access to healthy food they need. Connect with Ben & FarmLink!https://www.instagram.com/farmlinkprojecthttps://www.farmlinkproject.orghttps://www.instagram.com/beancollarLINKS N’ THINGS: Thanks to our friends at ADT for making it possible for us to share these stories in a safe and secure place, At Home. https://www.adt.com/AtHomeHello Makers!If you’re a maker and would like to be considered for a Maker Moment on At Home, please send us a DM on social and fill out this questionnaire. We can’t wait to see what you’re making!https://bit.ly/hellomakerCheck out our first Makers Episode!https://athomepodcast.net/episodes/makersText 310-496-8667 with your questions for #AtHomePodcast !If you’ve enjoyed this podcast, please subscribe, rate and share with a friend! Thank you for being a part of the At Home community! Connect with Linda & Drew: instagram.com/athomeinstagram.com/imlindorkinstagram.com/mrdrewscott#AtHomePodcastyoutube.com/watch?v=XvPGGqSUgnY THEME SONG BY: Victoria Shawwww.instagram.com/VictoriaShawMusic Chad Carlsonwww.instagram.com/ChadCarlsonMusic MUSIC COMPOSED AND PRODUCED BY:Rick Russohttps://www.instagram.com/rickrussomusicSpecial thanks to all our At Home homies: PRODUCERS:Brandon AngelenoHanna PhanPOST AUDIO ENGINEER:Chris CobainNicole SchacterDIGITAL PRODUCER:Cortney EwonusWEBSITE:Wesley FriendSERIES PHOTOGRAPHER: Dennys Ilicwww.instagram.com/dennydennSponsored by:ADT: It’s important to have not just a beautiful home -- but a smart and safer home.https://www.adt.com/AtHomeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
