Importance of Supporting Your Local, Family Farms | Thad & Gayle Montgomery of Melvin's Farm to Fork
Why do small family farms matter, and does the way we farm really make a difference? Is it important to source our foods locally, and how does doing so affect our own physical health, as well as the health of our communities?
Join Maureen as she shares a conversation with Thad and Gayle Montgomery of Melvin’s Farm to Fork Store in Wirtz, VA, as they discuss the history of their own family farm, their return to it, and why all of this does really matter!
