Episode Description:

In episode 4 of Season 5, we get to visit with Maynard Mallonee of Mallonee Family Farms LLC. Mallonee Family Farms has been certified organic for more than 20 years and continues a dairy legacy that began in 1949, when Maynard's grandfather first purchased the farm. His commitment to soil health, increasing biodiversity, and building a healthy ecosystem that will thrive for generations is an undercurrent for his on-farm decisions. Listen in as Maynard explores his role as a Transitioning to Organic Partnership Program (TOPP) mentor, being part of Organic Valley, the importance of organic certification in the dairy industry, and much more.
