About this Podcast:
This podcast is for all the growers and eaters out there who are serious about their food... market farmers and their customers, people who care about how their food is grown, or anyone who is interested in learning about their food system and how science can help serious growers of any kind.Each episode, a real grower brings a real problem (like cabbage aphids in organic Brussels sprouts, voles girdling apple trees, onion thrips that won’t quit) and we dig into what the research actually says. Anna Wallingford is an entomologist; her co-hosts are farmers and gardeners of all experience levels from Montana to Maine. During the growing season, short field reports bring you real-time pest updates from extension specialists across New England, New York, and the mid-Atlantic.
