GROW
Jill talks to farmers Hillary Corsun and Sarah Querbes. Sarah and Hillary started off their farming journey by renting land for their animals for several years until their business was healthy enough to buy a small farmstead. They now own Dogwood farm where they are humanely raising raising animals, keeping bees, and growing mushrooms. Jill talks to them about their plans for Dogwood Farm.
COOK
Sunita Kumar Nair,whose family come from Kerela in India, shows Jill how to make a traditional Beet Kitchari with her granny’s recipe. It’s a spicy vegetarian side dish made with beets and yogurt.
