MCA was happy to be asked on to the Doomer Optimism Podcast - the media outlet of a self identified "collective dedicated to discovering regenerative paths forward, highlighting the people working for a better world, and connecting seekers to doers."

It is so refreshing to talk to folks seeing the Ag Reserve with fresh eyes to re-connect to the fact that it is an astonishing feat to have thriving farms on protected farmland this close to a bustling metro area.
The entire podcast can be seen here.
Below are a few clips from the show:
