FarmLab Study – Phase 2 Program Identification and Development
Jan 1, 2018 - Author(s): Phil Metzler Mark Seeley | Community Resilience Guild
The purpose of this report is to fulfill Phase 2 of the FarmLab Feasibility Study by identifying potential programs and activities and developing a foundation for a sustainable business plan. The Phase 1 Needs Assessment identified Farm to School (FTS) as a strategic focus area for the FarmLab and characterized the current context for program development.
This report describes potential FTS activities that could fulfill the original FarmLab aims for supporting local food production and agricultural education, while also catalyzing food systems innovation and enterprise as part of a broader food localization strategy for economic development. At the heart of these activities are the essential FarmLab functions of facilitating new cross-sector connections and collaboration among existing stakeholders, and of providing a “lab-based” environment for sustained innovation and education. The report concludes with descriptions of specific projects that could serve as prototypes for FarmLab programs and with recommendations for incorporating as a not-for-profit organization to access available funding.

The Common Good: Health & Health Care and our Community
Apr 20, 2017 | Community Resilience Guild
The vision for this panel discussion was conceived by a small group of Elkhart County residents at a community dialogue in January that was focused on health care and the common good and facilitated by the Community Resilience Guild. The panel was organized with the intent to explore how community values have shaped health and health care in Goshen, and how our community can continue to support the common good amidst potential health care reform.
Clare Krabill participated in the dialogue and graciously accepted a request to moderate the panel. Panelists were selected based on personal connections and for their work in health care with local institutions. Participation was voluntary and independent – the opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the organizations with which the panelists are affiliated. Approximately 50 people attended the event, including many folks from the medical field in Goshen
