    Welcome to our blog! My name is Carla Jaquet and I’m new to the Rock Island County Extension staff. Now that I’ve settled in to my position I thought I would take some time to introduce myself and share my purpose at the Extension. I graduated from Black Hawk College – East campus last May with an AAS in horticulture and am currently a student at Western Illinois University studying Recreation, Parks and Tourism Administration with a minor in Environmental Biology. My involvement at BHE was filled with experiential learning leading to my employment with the college as project coordinator for their organic land lab, Black Hawk Organics, a setting where I was given the opportunity to spread my wings and further explore a subject of which I am passionate, the local foods movement.
    The culture of the Midwest has altered significantly over the past thirty years causing small family farms to expand and engage in large scale operations through an attempt to create economic sustainability. With these changes a disconnect between farmer and the general public has occurred causing a disengagement of understanding in relation to food and fiber production as well as a loss of vocational opportunity and cultural mores once a part of Midwestern society. The ill effects of a nutritionally poor diet as well as loss of intrinsic motivation for outdoor activity has fostered a generation of individuals of which obesity is the norm causing related health issues to sky rocket at an alarming rate.
    My purpose with the University of Illinois Extension – Rock Island County, as well as personal goal is to heighten awareness and foster partnerships to further sustainability of small family farms, create a local foods chain to provide our community with healthy locally grown food, and implement educational practices to facilitate informed individuals who engage and assist in a movement essential to well being. I welcome everyone to join me in the next leg of my journey of discovery to a healthier sustainable way of life!
