- It's the anniversary of one of the worst agricultural disasters western Massachusetts has seen in years, so we look back at the floods of July 2023, and their aftermath with Piyush Labhsetwar (www.growfoodno...) , Farm and Land Stewardship Manager for Grow Food Northampton, (www.growfoodno...) who we interviewed immediately after the waters rose, and reporter Juliana Merullo (thepublicsradi...) who created a piece about the floods (play.prx.org/l...) as her capstone project at Brown University.
We also head to Feeding Hills to see how this year is treating E. Cecchi Farms (ececchifarms.com/) with third generation proprietor Bob Cecchi, and revel in the bounty showing up in their farm store right now.
And Rep. Jim McGovern (mcgovern.house...) reminisces on the response, or lack thereof, of the Federal government to last year's crisis, and looks ahead to possible crises on the horizon.
