    Today’s episode comes to you from Johnson Vermont where we visit with Tony and Joie Lehouillier of Foote Brook Farm. They grow sod, and 35 acres of vegetables for both wholesale markets and their on-farm store. We start off the episode seeing what’s growing in one of the greenhouses in early December, take a look in the farm stand, then talk about how they cleaned up from the flooding that buried their entire farm. With over 4’ of water in their barn they lost crops, equipment, supplies, you name it, it was destroyed, or at least severely damaged.

    Vermont has been hit 3 times over the last two seasons with major flooding events and this is one of the farm’s that’s received the blow from each one of these. They are right on a major river and at the foot of nearby mountains, a familiar location for many farms across our region.
