Then, Richard takes us to Perennials, an extraordinarily interesting garden center located just over the County Line on Highway 62 on the way to Bentonville. You will enjoy the visit. Mary Hayat, National spokeswoman for Better Living Without Chemistry has a to die for biscotti recipe and you’ll get a sour take on religion in “All the News from Berryville.” Johnice Dominick reviews Home Grown in the Ozarks and David Bell gives us his take on sustainability.

The Ozark Harvest Radio kicks off Season Four with a few encouraging words from host Dan Krotz, then launches into a two part interview with Quicksilver Gallery VIE and jewelry maker Brian Watson. We learn how Brian arrived in Eureka Springs, how he embarked on a career as the maker of aptly made geegaws, and why he does the things he does. After an announcement about the Eureka Springs Farmers’ Market Schedule and a rusty reading of a fine Ann Carter poem set in Berryville, Arkansas, we hear from Renaissance Man Jerry Landrum: trombone player, gardener, inventor, and environmental activist. Jerry updates us about Eureka Springs’ environmental planning, and we learn a bit about managing the wily Kilowatt. Yes, The Ozark Harvest Radio Hour is back: not always pretty, not always perfect, but always fresh, local, and honest. Thanks for tuning in!Brian Watson 1

By on September 28th, 2012

Today’s show is our season finale and the 31st program of Season Three. We spend a lot of time–but not nearly enough–thanking our essential partners and helpers. Our guests, creative contributors, and especially our listeners have made The Ozark Harvest Radio Hour a work of fun and joy. We are organic radio, “not always perfect, not always pretty, but always fresh local and honest” because we wouldn’t have it any other way. Today’s special guest is Ellen Foncannon Stephenson, a member of the creative Gallery 62 family of Stephensons. Ellen is also an artist, but her instrument is the keyboard and her art is composing and arranging music. We learn all about her new CD Winterwood, and about how it was produced–and where we can get it. Thanks again for making our 3rd season a success. We’ll “see” you again in March!

Every once in a while you run into people who inspire you, give you hope for the future, and who remind you of the qualities that go into the making of an exceptional person. This week we revisit Kate Ambach and Drew Wood, pioneers and the owners and operators of Shady Grove Farm. The interview is a good one because we learn more about these two exceptional people, and also because they exemplify what sustainable living and sustainable agriculture are all about. Drew and Katie make us realize how lucky we are to live here, and how wonderful our variety of humans and human experience. Tune into today, and all week long!

Season 3, Show 28, September 8, 2012

By on September 7th, 2012

The Ozark Harvest Radio Hour addresses the whole mind-body fandango, space and time, and the idea of advanced entropy particularly as it applies to Clint Eastwood. Eureka Springs Farmers’ Market vendor “Kerry” sings an impromptu song, courtesy of our Man in the Street, Richard Pille. Dr. Jim Young, co-founder of the Ozarks Metaphysical Society, politely ignores these heady topics to tell us about his development as a metaphysician, Spiritual leader, and author. We hear about a few of his books, learn how to get them, and leave the interview yearning for more. Well, perhaps. Mary Hayat, National spokesperson for Better Living without Chemistry, shares a famous New Orleans’ recipe for Creole biscuits: get your pencils ready. Yup another entirely adequate show. Find it today and all week long, right here.
