Ernst Celebrates Women in Agriculture

“Having grown up on a family farm, I understand how women are the backbone of American agriculture,”said Ernst. “Whether hearing firsthand from female farmers on my River to River tour or on the Senate ag committee, it’s inspiring to see ladies stepping up and carrying on our great rural traditions.

Video: Running a Farm Store + Starting No-Till Gardens w/Blue Goose Farm

We cover: today we are chatting with Keenan McVey of Blue Goose Farm in Ontario Canada. Keenan, along with his wife Ashley, run this small farm and along with it a really interesting, in-town Farm Store that is a little different from what you might think of as a farm store and has proved to be an invaluable marketing option for them. Keenan’s roots are in the culinary world, and the farm was also started with another chef from the area some of you may know, named Matty Matheson (of the excellent show The Bear). Keenan tells us that story as well as helps detail the technical stuff about how the gardens were created and how they are maintained.
