Growing Appalachia On Mountain Talk

The show, hosted by Sylvia Ryserson and engineered by Brett Ratliff, both Letcher County members, focused on what guests could expect from the conference tomorrow. Todd told us about his experiences at the last two conferences and the knowledge he's been putting to use in his own commercial greenhouse. Todd has been a driving force behind the Floyd County Farmer's Market and hopes to connect with new growers to expand the Farmer's Market this year! Fern gave us a preview of the workshop she's co-presenting with MACED's Chris Woollery on the How$mart program and money-saving energy-efficiency solutions that we can all easily do ourselves. Nathan spoke of his work with Green Forests Work and his workshop concerning strip mine reforestation and how the lands can be converted back to native hardwood forests while providing feedstocks for distributed renewable energy.
