Join me as I search for other farm folks crazy enough to dream of sustainability and justice. Who are these self-sufficient freaks with solar powered tractors and goat best-friends?

Listen to Max Slater and I talk about how fermented pig intestines, a deportation from New Zealand and his city planning major played a part in his journey to Project AquaStar, a nonprofit urban farm in Columbus, OH.
Wayne Shingler, owner of Woodland Urban Farm LLC in Linden, tried a lot of things before he was able to own enough land for the amount of goats, chickens and ducks he wanted. At least now he has Pance, the cuddly goat who stood by us for most of the interview. Listen to hear his experiences with leasing land, city zone ordinances and neighborhood drama.
