As a compendium to the upcoming TEDxManhattan event in NYC on February 18th, Erin Fairbanks chats with one of the featured speakers, Gary Hirshberg, Chairman of Stonyfield Farm. Tune in for a conversation on the politics surrounding GMO crops, including labeling, farming and public perception. Get an inside take on where things stand after years of advocacy and momentum, and find out why Gary thinks we're closer than ever to securing our right to know when it comes to GMO's in our food.
"We ultimately have a need for federal solution, the thought we will solve this on a sate by state basis is [unrealistic]." 07:00
"It's now a question of when, not if, we get the same rights that citizens in China and Russia have [regarding labeling and GMO's]. 11:00

It's our second installment of the Jones Family Farm interview, and this time, Erin Fairbanks is talking to Jamie Jones in Shelton, Connecticut. Jamie Jones focused on Plant Science at Cornell University, and began the vineyard at the Jones Family Farm. Tune in to hear about Jamie's experiences at Cornell, his beginnings in the vineyard, and the Jones Family Vineyard and Winery as it is today. Tune in to hear about how the farm is dealing with farm transition, and how his family is working to keep the farm running. This episode was sponsored by Whole Foods.
"I've seen a lot of people with non-agricultural backgrounds getting back into farming" -- Jamie Jones on the Farm Report
"90% of our wine we sell directly from our farm. That's always been our family's philosophy; we've never really been into wholesale. We enjoy having people come visit the farm, whether it be to harvest strawberries, blueberries, pumpkins- it's the same thing with the winery...our mindset is to supply to the local market." -- Jamie Jones on The Farm Report
