At the initial site assessment with Nick Ferguson and Mark Shepard – Mark acts like a hard ass but in the end he is a clown, he just can’t help himself.

I am about to head up to Gum Springs, Arkansas for the beginning of the large project we have been working on.  This will be the first phase of a 1200 acre system consisting of production levels of Aronia, Elderberry, Pecan and Chestnuts as main crops along with a 100 acre educational facility.

Due to this I will not be producing a show Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and please understand that email responses may not be very timely.

During this time if you are missing new episodes try listening to a random episode, or find an episode on a subject you wish to hear about using our search box or tag cloud.

I will be trying to get some short videos up of what is going on via my iphone.  Rest assured there will eventually be a LOT of very cool content coming out of these efforts.

The big thing though is over the next few years we will be putting in over 100,000 trees and bushes onto what at this point is some old cattle grazing lands.   Of course spending the next few days with Josiah Wallingford, Dayna Burtness, Mark Shepard and Nick Ferguson isn’t going to be too bad either.
