gardening, the environment, green living and a lot of humor

Their guests include Nic Mink from Sitka Salmon Shares and Amber Petersen of The Fishmongers Wife, who talk about sustainabile seafood; Jennifer Filipiak from American Farmland Trust and Barry Fischer of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Services, who report on how scientists and farmers are working to make our soils healthy; Billy Burdett from Chicago-based Advocates for Urban Agriculture, with an update on composting laws in Chicago; and Jen Miller and Chris Trogg from Band of Farmers, which has just released a terrific list of CSAs. And listen for a cameo from Rodlene Paul of Hellshire Foods.
