Our view is “Both, and..” We don’t come to the table with a bias, except that good farming like good food comes in all shapes and sizes. Farm to Table Talk explores issues and the growing interest in the story of how and where the food on our tables is produced, processed and marketed. The host, Rodger Wasson is a food and agriculture veteran. Although he was the first of his family to leave the grain and livestock farm after five generations farming in America, he’s continually worked for and with farmers though-out America and around the world. From directly managing commodity boards and councils to presently building the strategic consultancy, Idea Farming Inc., the Farm to Table Talk podcast has been created to satisfy the curiosity of today’s engaged consumers.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T02:18:28.268904+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/farm-to-table-talk-217480"},"episode":{"title":"Homestead Preservation – Jeremy and Stacey Hill","slug":"homestead-preservation-jeremy-and-stacey-hill","published_at":"2026-02-27T03:00:04+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/farm-to-table-talk-217480/homestead-preservation-jeremy-and-stacey-hill","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/farm-to-table-talk-217480","url":"https://farmtotabletalk.com/homestead-preservation-jeremy-and-stacey-hill/","audio_url":"https://media.blubrry.com/farm_to_table_talk/content.blubrry.com/farm_to_table_talk/Homestead_Preservation.mp3","summary":"In this episode of Farm to Table Talk, Rodger interviewed Jeremy and Stacey Hill about their homesteading practices and food preservation techniques. The Hills, who operate Gooseberry Bridge Farm in Missouri, shared their journey from suburban gardening to homesteading a 12-acre farm with dairy cows, goats, pigs, and an extensive vegetable garden. They discussed their use of freeze-drying as a modern preservation method, explaining how it maintains food quality and allows for shelf-stable storage. The couple also described their agritourism business, which offers educational farm visits for families. Throughout the conversation, Jeremy and Stacey emphasized the importance of starting small with food preservation and encouraged listeners to explore local food networks and farmers markets. They share what they’ve learned on the podcast and their new book: The Preservation Garden – How to grow a garden for fermenting, canning, pickling, dehydrating, and freeze drying. www.gooseberrybridge.com","meta_description":"In this episode of Farm to Table Talk, Rodger interviewed Jeremy and Stacey Hill about their homesteading practices and food preservation techniques.
