Description

Located on 375 acres outside of Calabogie in Ashdad you can find Long Lane Farms - 5 acre market garden, 3 greenhouses, cows, goats, chickens, pigs, 3 livestock dogs, and a couple that is fiercely supportive of one another with the sweetest little farmer helper.

Chris Norten and Kristen Wagner are second generational farmers that want to keep the "great" in Greater Madawaska and beyond by providing their community with the freshest, naturally grown products as they strive to demonstrate how their food is raised, and nurture the connection between community and farmer.

In this episode, we chat about....

👨🏻‍🌾 The story of how Kristen and Chris met and how neither of them ever thought their paths would lead them to becoming farmers

🧑‍🌾 Why it's not only important to support local farmers but to get to know your farmer and learn where your food is coming from #knowyourfarmerknowyourfood

👨🏻‍🌾 The brilliant idea behind their Meat Share program, where you will experience a combination of the best, tastiest, local, pasture raised meats

👩‍🌾 Why Kristen and other female farmers are the unsung heroes in agriculture - because, in Kristen's words "women CAN do it all." And they will! 👏🏼
