History in a Pint: Bees & Their Affect on Local Agriculture

Jadell Cavallin is the owner of Little Waldo Farm in Two Harbors, and has been involved in the local and regional growing community for over a decade.

She will present on the current state of honeybees, native bees, and how this affects local agriculture.

Cavallin is a volunteer master gardener emeritus with the Lake County Extension Master Gardeners, a second term board member for the Lake Superior Sustainable Farmers Association, a grower member and board member for the Farm and Forest Growers Cooperative, and co-manager of Lake County Humane Society.

She also serves as a volunteer Pollinator Ambassador with the University of Minnesota Extension, and is a Certified Pollinator Steward with the Pollinator Partnership.

She has participated in the Two Harbors Farmers Market for over a decade, and her farm is one of 11 local small farms that make up the Clover Valley Farm Trail.

Providing Community Education courses focused around gardening and pollinators, her long-time experience in honey beekeeping, growing a variety of plants in northern Minnesota, and all around nature inspired resourcefulness, brings her love for all living things full circle when able to share stories, food, and connection with others.
