    Description

    Jamie Ager’s family has been stewarding the land that is now Hickory Nut Gap Farm in the mountains of Western North Carolina since 1916. In this episode, he talks to host Lisa Held about his family’s legacy of supporting a thriving farm economy in the region and how he’s carrying on the tradition with Hickory Nut Gap Meats, a company that now aggregates pasture-based meats from multiple farms in the area.Image courtesy of Hickory Nut Gap Farm.The Farm Report is powered by Simplecast.

    The Farm Report is a show about the people, processes, and policies that shape how food is produced today. From the latest agricultural innovations to the day-to-day challenges of running a viable business growing vegetables and grazing cattle, host Lisa Elaine Held engages in conversations with farmers and farmworkers and the people who work alongside them—like chefs, researchers, activists, and investors. Expect from-the-field insights paired with real-world context as guests explore how producing fresh, delicious food relates to environmental and community sustainability, equality and justice, politics and policy, and better health.
