Challenges of Change on a Small Farm (with Ryan Caron) – Last Ditch

Ryan Caron joins me once more to talk about innovation and change happening in farming communities. We talk through how it's often not lack of desire to innovate but rather the lack of infrastructure and systems to support it. Ryan also makes the case for embracing native plants as food sources, learning about the ways your family has engaged with food and experimenting where we can.Homework this month: What was a former crop or industry in your area?
