This week on The Farm Report, Erin calls Mike Fedison, the Assistant Manager at Hilltop Hanover Farm in Westchester County. Mikes farm participates in multiple educational programs with high school and college students which helps promote and preserve agriculture in the Westchester area. Later, Mike shares with us his feelings about running a farm on your own vs being part of a larger team. This program has been sponsored by Cain Vineyard and Winery.

Image from Hilltop Hanover Farm Theres a lot of advantages to being part of a larger organization - Im interested in education and teaching as well, so I can do that, whereas when I was on my own little farm there just werent any hours left in the day for that.
