Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Blister podcast on the Blister Podcast Network.

I'm Jonathan Ellsworth, and you can check out everything we're doing and reviewing over at

blisterreview.com.

Okay, today, actually right now, I have Kara Williard with me because this is part two in our series on mountain towns and local food systems.

So Kara, maybe there's one person out there on planet Earth who has yet to listen to part one, which of course they should

hurry up and go do. But just to give us a bit of a recap, talk a little bit about some of the

topics that we covered in part one. And then, why don't you set up what we're going to be talking

about here in part two? Yeah, for those listeners, very few listeners, I'm sure, who haven't heard

part one of our Mountain Town and Local Food Systems series. That was our setting the stage

episode. So in that, we just kind of, first of all, outlined what is a local food system.

Then we walked through the many different ways that you as a consumer can support and get involved in your local food system. Then we walked through the many different ways that you as a consumer can support and get

involved in your local food system based on what makes sense for you.

And then I just got to kind of outline some of the better practices out there for regenerative

agriculture or for growing food in more mountainous or cold regions.

That first episode outlined a whole bunch around the topic of local food and how it relates

to the mountain towns we love.

For those interested in local food or how they can get involved, that's a great episode

to listen to and learn more about local food.

Indeed.

You may have buried the lead, though, because we did also talk about therapy chickens.

Anyway, turns out, spoiler alert.

We're talking about therapy chickens again today, ladies and gentlemen.
