Really well done podcast. I live next to a farm that is part of a CSA program. It is a privilege to watch the fields transform through every season.

There were so many questions. I wondered how the crops were selected, pondered about distribution, hiring advisors and community outreach. This podcast served up quality answers from highly qualified specialists.

Entertaining, easy to listen to and informative,
