The November 14<\/strong> season premiere features farms and locations in Dorchester, Frederick, and Washington counties. Segments airing during the episode are:<\/span><\/p>\n

Pop\u2019s Old Place (Dorchester County)<\/strong>– Host Joanne Clendining returns to the field, visiting a heritage breed livestock farm in Hurlock called Pop\u2019s Old Place<\/a>. There, third-generation farmer Darlene Goehringer puts Joanne to work feeding the farm\u2019s unique mule-foot hogs, wrangling the Randall Lineback cattle from paddock to paddock, and bottle-feeding baby lambs. Along the way, Joanne learns how Darlene transformed her family farm from cash crops to pastureland and discovers how important land stewardship is to Darlene \u2013 and to the future of farming.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Moon Valley Farm (Frederick County)<\/strong>-At Moon Valley Farm<\/a> in Frederick, viewers meet first-generation farmer Emma Jagoz, who has built a year-round community-supported agriculture (CSA) venture growing produce. But before the hoop houses and farm fields, Emma\u2019s agricultural journey began as an expectant mother hoping fresh veggies like arugula would help her baby\u2019s development. After blowing her grocery budget one too many times, Emma started a balcony garden on a lark. Twelve years later, Emma has grown well beyond the garden and her CSA is now responsible for feeding more than 600 families, a testament to her tenacity and love of farming.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Local Buy: Frog Eye Farm (Washington County)<\/strong>– Marylanders leap to Frog Eye Farm<\/a> in Knoxville every summer for juicy blueberries and beautiful scenery. Al Spoler joins visitors meandering through the farm\u2019s 2,200 blueberry plants while enjoying both the sunshine and the panoramic mountain views that surround them. Owner Dan Mills gives Al a tour of the orchard while explaining his pesticide-free farming practices and extolling the fruit as nature\u2019s antioxidant.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
