Urban Farming’s Growth in Madison
Madison may be a growing urban city, but farming is still a way of life for many locals. You don’t have to go far in this town to find a neighbor tending chickens, planting a produce garden, or even building a greenhouse. To get the scoop on what it takes to successfully grow at home, host Bianca Martin caught up with urban farmer and owner of Voss Organics, Mark Voss.
Join us every Thursday as we explore Madison's food culture, from the brewers and bakers to the chefs and cheesemakers.
