Official release of the Modern Farm and Artisan Co-Op Podcast trailer, featuring the winner of our theme music contest and southern Utah local, Jake Shepard!

This podcast was created as a resource for inspiration and education. Our mission is to connect you to the lives and stories of our local farmers, makers, and educators that all are dedicating themselves to positively and powerfully impact our southern Utah community. Through these stories we hope to connect you to food in an entirely new way, inspire you to possibly start producing your own food, step into a new creative path, and understand the importance of voting with your dollar and strengthening the local economy.

We will be launching our first five episodes on March 17th 2020 and will continue to release new episodes every two weeks! Until then, we'll see you at the farmers market!

Kat Puzey is the founder of the Modern Farm and Artisan Co-Op. Kat is also the owner of the Downtown Farmers Market in Ancestors Square and of the monthly, year round market at West Village, both of which are in Saint George, Utah. To top it all off, she is co-hosting this podcast. If you are a regular at the markets you probably know Kat and if you are not a regular yet, this is your chance to get to know the woman is transforming the way we support our local economy here in Southern Utah.

Episode two of the Modern Farm and Artisan Co-Op Podcast is an introductory episode for podcast co-host Anna Lytle. Anna, a military veteran and Texas native, moved to Utah with her husband, who is originally from Saint George, about five years ago. After the birth of their daughter, Anna started learning more about the human impact on the environment and it quickly became a passion for her and she began attempting to live as low waste and environmentally conscious as possible. Anna quickly realized that making a positive environmental impact went hand in hand with supporting the local economy by creating connections with local farmers and artisans. Shortly after Anna and Kat met, the idea of the podcast was born in hopes of creating a resource for the southern Utah community to create incredible local connections and support the local economy.
