Shining Bright | The FarmHer Podcast Marjorie Alaniz | Founder of FarmHer

Here's a not-so-secret...I don't like tomatoes. I never have...but leave it to FarmHer Jennie Smith of Butcher Crick Farms in Iowa to get me to try a few varieties and to change my mind. We'll talk varieties, how to plant, good growing methods and of course, our favorite way to eat them!

Everybody needs to eat and all food starts at the farm. To continue our look at the ways that food makes it to our plates, we’re taking a look at the people who are often behind the scenes on farms...but front and center to making sure the food gets to our table - the farm workers. There are 2.5 million agriculture laborers working day in and day out to plant, care for, harvest, process, pack and ship the food from the fields to the store.

It's true. I turned 40...in my stretch-pants. Despite what I had hoped for such a milestone, the quarantine had other ideas. Listen in as Erin interviews me about the year so far and what's up next!
