On today’s episode I sit down with Cory Dragone of Blacksmith Italian in Bozeman, Montana. We are sitting on the patio at his restaurant, it is a sunny but windy day and it finally feels like spring has arrived. We talk about the gifts and challenges of being a chef and a business owner and how it feels to be at the forefront of the farm to table movement.

Coming up: I talk to Amy and Andy of Fisheye Farm in Detroit
Our goal with Farm Talk Radio is to tell a story across Canada, weaving a mosaic of landscapes that focus on the people, places, and things that inspire change — To give airtime to the hardworking men and women who are feeding the bodies, hearts, and minds of our great country. Farming can at times be a lonely and isolating profession. It is one filled with numerous hardships. The long hours, physically demanding work, and constant struggle to work in harmony with Mother Nature take their toll. Furthermore, the ever-changing extremes of climate change will only add to these pressures. Not to mention, the financial risk of being an entrepreneur and running a business to feed and support yourself and your family. Yet this is a field of work that continues to attract some of the most incredible and inspiring change makers that I have been fortunate enough to meet. Spend a weekend at your local farmers market and you’ll know what I am talking about. Because of this, it will be an honour to sit down and listen to them and help them tell their story. Farm Talk Radio explores the challenges these agents of change are going through and the gifts that this journey has brought them. And we’d like to share all of this with you.
