Local farmers are an important part of feeding the populace. We need to support them by helping them get the proper financing, and by shopping at Farmers Markets and CSA’s. We need to know our farmers, and to understand that small AG provides healthy and fresh food, that tastes delicious. We speak to Kevin Egolf, Co-Founder of Local Farms Fund, Woody Tasch, Founder and Chairman of Slow Money, and Pascale Le Draoulec, Manager of several farmers markets in the lower Hudson Valley, and author of the book American Pie: Slices of Life (and pie) from America’s Back Roads, to get their perspective on the world of small farms and farmers. We also talk about spider goats, the Carolina Grim Reaper pepper, and yes, how to milk a moose.
