How does Natasha Nicholes's involvement as a #GFFChi ambassador enhance the festival experience?

I help host and promote Twitter chats like #GoodFoodChi, where we talk about local food, urban farming, and festival highlights, and give away tickets so more people can attend.

I share a family-focused, Chicago-rooted perspective—everything from raising chickens in the city to gardening and learning food preservation—so the festival feels more relatable and less “insider only.”

By attending sessions, chatting with farmers, and then blogging about it, I translate the information into real-life takeaways for families who want better food without feeling pressured to be “perfect” or all-organic.
