Living Culture episode 73 with Heritage Farms Northwest
by Nate Rafn
Episode 73 takes us to some interesting places. First, we visit Heritage Farms Northwest and listen to a symphony of snorts and oinks as the pigs at get ready for dinner. We speak with Wendy Parker about how she raises them.
Next we get an overview of direct-market agriculture in Oregon. OSU professor, Larry Lev, and Corvallis-Albany Farmers' Markets director, Rebecca Landis, discuss the importance of local food systems. Additional appearances are made by Bette & David McKibben, Laurie Carlson, and John Zielinski.
The final segment in Episode 73 is a conversation with Shelley Behymer, co-owner of The Chick Inn. She shares her passion for rare chicken breeds.
