Once again, we're digging into the Greenhorn archives, and revisiting the 2012 Farm Bill. Annette Higby, from the New England Farm Union, discusses Federal Farm Bill the various titles and programs, and the the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Opportunity act which is supported by the National Young Farmers Coalition. The National Farmer's Union is one of the oldest and best Farm advocacy groups in the country, with a strong family farmer focus. They are critics of the way farm policies have subsidized certain parts of our farm economy over other more sensible choices. Public investment in agriculture isn't going away, but we can shift the direction it points us, our food and our landscape. Tune in to learn how - and check out the New England Farmers Union, NEFU.org. This program has been brought to you by Hearst Ranch.

On this episode of The Caffeine Stream, Nicole Slaven welcomes back Anne Nylander of Tamp Tamp. They brew some fresh coffee using a French press and then the Aeropress.

On the inaugural episode of In the Drink, host Joe Campanale, Beverage Director/Owner of dell'anima, L'Artusi, Anfora and L'Apicio restaurants, is joined by Jared Brandt of Donkey and Goat Winery in Berkeley California. Hear more about the family owned and operated winery that crafts their wines from Rhone varietals, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown in the Anderson Valley, Mendocino Ridge and El Dorado appellations. Listen in as they debunk sulfur myths and talk about wine additives, trends and the winemaking process. Later on in the show, Joe and Jared taste a few wines on-air and give listeners some useful tasting tips! This program was sponsored by the International Culinary Center.

"When you ship wine, there are inherent stability issues."

"Most people who think they're allergic to sulfur are not, they're usually allergic to something else in the wine."

"When we started, everybody told us we were doing things wrong, but there's been a huge fundamental shift in California where people are taking the time to learn what we're doing instead of just labeling it 'wrong' "
