I’m going to be real honest with you, I’ve been working hard lately. If you’re listening to this, I bet you’ve been working hard, too. Case in point, I JUST got our garlic in the ground in down here in zone 7, but better late than never I suppose.

So, I thought I’d seize this opportunity to bring back an old episode, the very FIRST episode of collaborative farm, actually, a conversation I had with Chris bonder of Close to Home Organics and Glen Valley Farm. This one still comes to mind as one of the best collab farm episodes ever and now that we’re reaching a wider audience, I wanted to give it the opportunity to reach more listeners. Chris is not only stellar farmer and a part of a cooperative farm framework, he’s extremely well versed in the history of modern farm cooperatives.

Hey listeners, it's Natalie. I have a sweet, tart, and charming treat for you today. Bernis Ingvaldson runs Honeyberry USA with her husband Jim out of their farm in northern Minnesota. So this all came about because last year a friend and guest listener, shout out to Michelle, suggested I contact a USDA researcher she knew who had done some work with honeyberries, which are also known as hascaps. The researcher sent me to Bernis, who has established herself as one of the experts in growing hascaps in The States. I think perennial fruits are one of the most delightful things in the world and it's super exciting to me that there are more out there than what most consumers or even farmers know about. I'm appreciative of people like Bernis who have worked to develop systems that can make these crops profitable, not just for the home gardeners and to the breeders who have developed these new varieties. You can check out her website where they have a lot of practical information on growing hasgaps, honey berries, and more. It's just full of good stuff. And, also, you can order your hascaps when you're done being inspired by Bernis!
