    We're back!  Emily Staalberg is co-owner of Steel Acres, a family farm in Ojai CA. In this episode we finally get an answer as to why there is never a shortage of beets in your farm share or CSA. Emily also gives us the low down on the ups and downs of life on the farm (yes, one bunny can devour 300 cauliflower plants in a single night!) But no matter the hardships (and rogue bunnies) that the farm faces, Emily is never deterred from her mission tend the land and sustainably produce delicious and nutritious food for the community.
