Local author gifts 'Cincinnati's Food Shed and Art Atlas' to Evendale, credits Gorman Heritage Farm
Summary
An author presented a coffee-table book documenting Cincinnati's food system and donated a copy to the village, crediting Gorman Heritage Farm and regional partners for input and material; the presenter left contact information for follow-up.
A presenter identified in meeting materials as Allen (Allen Wright, PhD) gave Evendale a copy of Cincinnati's Food Shed and Art Atlas, a coffee-table book that chronicles the region’s food system and showcases local people, companies and initiatives.
The presenter described the book as having three sections — past, present and future — and said it was made possible in part by work at Gorman Heritage Farm and collaboration with local food-movement partners. He said the center section highlights roughly the past 20–25 years of local food activity and that the project was intended as “a love letter to Cincinnati.”
Mayor Feynman read contact information supplied by the presenter for residents who want more information. The village accepted the gift and there was no council vote tied to the donation.
The presentation included an offer of signed copies and the presenter said he would be available to sign books and answer questions off-line; the mayor indicated staff would help connect residents who want more information.
