If you're one of those people who just can't get enough of cows, barns, fresh eggs and homegrown tomatoes -- and, let's face it, you probably wouldn't live here if you didn't have an endless capacity for these things -- you might want to tune into WJFF tomorrow morning at 7:30. Radio Catskill, which broadcasts on 90.5 from Jeffersonville and streams live on the internet, is introducing a new show: Farm and Country. From the Catskill Chronicle:
Segments will include News You Can Use (updates about meetings, deadlines and issues affecting the area), Fun Farm Animal of the Week (interviews with farm animals and the kids who love them), Farmers Almanac, the Garden Girl and cooking features. In addition, there will be special segments on cheese making, economic issues, and profiles of local farmers selling their products in New York City.
Hosted by John Nordstrom, contributors include Acadia, Spike Appel, John Bachman, Sonja Hedlund, Amy Miller, Adrianne Picciano, Beth Stevens, Adam Weinreich and Ed Zwirn.
“We’ll cover everyone and everything that makes living here so wonderful,” said Nordstrom, whose home near Hortonville, NY is notable for its plethora of goats, chickens, ducks and other animals.
