A Simple Cooperative Farm Model & a Short History of Modern Co-ops w/ Chris Bodnar of Close to Home Organics (rebroadcast)

I'm going to be real honest with you, I've been working hard lately. If you're listening to this, I bet you've been working hard, too. Case in point, I JUST got our garlic in the ground in down here in zone 7, but better late than never I suppose.

So, I thought I'd seize this opportunity to bring back an old episode, the very FIRST episode of collaborative farm, actually, a conversation I had with Chris bonder of Close to Home Organics and Glen Valley Farm. This one still comes to mind as one of the best collab farm episodes ever and now that we're reaching a wider audience, I wanted to give it the opportunity to reach more listeners. Chris is not only stellar farmer and a part of a cooperative farm framework, he's extremely well versed in the history of modern farm cooperatives.
