This episode of Voices from the Field is the first of a new podcast series, “Lessons Learned on a Southern Farm.” In it, NCAT Gulf States Regional Coordinator Felicia Bell talks with Marguerite McClintock from Alchemy Farms and Plants in Huntsville, Alabama.

Marguerite discusses the lessons she has learned from operating her certified organic vegetable farm and from raising heritage and registered sheep, specifically Katahdin and Gulf Coast Native. She offers some tips and ideas that Alchemy Farm used to stay in business while maintaining the farm’s organic integrity.

This podcast is produced by the National Center for Appropriate Technology through the ATTRA Sustainable Agriculture program, under a cooperative agreement with USDA Rural Development.
