LLCC’s Value-Added Food Program and Marnie Record, workforce specialist, have been selected as winners of the Illinois Stewardship Alliance (ISA) Scaling Up Golden Beet Award.

The Golden Beet awards are given out annually by ISA in order to recognize those outstanding individuals, organizations and businesses that are paving the way for local food system development throughout Illinois.  Six Golden Beets are awarded each year under the following categories: farm to school, restaurants and institutions, community food projects, innovative farmer, scaling up, and other varieties.

An unbiased selection committee made up of individuals involved in local food work around the state selected Marnie as the winner of the Scaling Up category for your work in creating the Value Added Food Program at Lincoln Land Community College.  The awards will be presented Thursday, Dec. 3 at the ISA’s annual meeting.

Congratulations, Marnie!
