Molly & Ben Oberg sat down with Jim to talk about their farm Meyer Produce (no relation to Meijer stores) and how they got into farming. After getting married and taking over the farm from Jeff Meyer about 3 years ago they've continued his name and mission to produce an incredibly diverse group of specialty crops and sell directly to consumers at local markets. If you haven't gotten a chance to check them out at Urbana's Market in the Square or the Champaign Farmers market then you are really missing out. From plums to sweet potatoes, melons to onions, and everything (and they mean everything) in between, they grow it. Check out the podcast, subscribe, and then go see them at the farmers markets and maybe try a specialty crop that you've never tried before!
