Todays episode has been sponsored by Heritage Foods USA. I have two main passions in my life- one is writing, and the other is my love of nature and the environment.

We have no idea what kind of climate conditions we are going to need to prepare our foodstuffs for. -- Janisse Ray on The Farm Report
