This week on Greenhorn Radio, our hostess Severine von Tscharner Fleming interviews Jacob Cowgill of Prairie Heritage Farm outside of Conrad, Montana. Prairie Heritage Farm is in the tradition of old-time Montana farms that existed decades ago: diversified, small-scale, and locally-based. Listen in as Jacob discusses the challenges of starting a farm with a full-time job and a family, selling in a small direct market, and some of the upcoming grain ventures of Prairie Heritage Farm. This program was sponsored by Hearst Ranch.

"It's really amazing to see whats going on elsewhere, and see that we're part of something larger going on in the U.S."--Jacob Cowgill on Greenhorn Radio

Rachel is deputy editor at Edible Manhattan and Edible Brooklyn, and she's out meeting the people behind all of the food that we eat.
