About this episode

Kevin Gallagher interviews Dave Chapman about the Real Organic Project and Jacqueline Maisonpierre about her cut flower business.

Joining me now is Dave Chapman who started Long Wind Farm in Vermont and is a Co-Director of the Real Organic Project and "host of the award-winning Real Organic Podcast" . He is a founding member of the Vermont Organic Farmers. He's here today because I received an email from the Real Organic project, which I found quite disturbing. I wanted to talk to Dave about why Iowa has the second highest cancer rate in the U.S. My second guest is Jacqueline Maisonpierre who owns and runs Two Meadow flower farm in North Haven, Connecticut . Jacqueline joins me to talk about her cut flowers business. Mostly about wonderful Dahlias.
