This week host Richard Pille and his redoubtable sidekick exchange affable jokes about their wives, Richard’s grand children visit the chicken house and name names, and Ann Carter’s lovely book “Sweetness” is the poetic well from which we draw inspiration. Mark Schuster of the Berryville Public Library gives us the skinny on Big Changes therein, [...]
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, [...]
Our host is in an uncharacteristically whiny mood this week; he whimpers about the heat and bugs in his garden. Yet, hope springs eternal! He is cheered by a poem written by Ann Carter and finds courage in Richard Pille’s essay on how to be great without being mean. Mary Hayat concludes segment 1 with [...]
You can’t go wrong by stealing from G. K. Chesterton and our man David Bell does just that. Richard and Jane Pille continue to homestead and embrace romance In the Garden by giving us a fine tour of their wonderful place. Robert and Cara Phillippe introduce us to the Phillippe Family Quartet, proof positive that [...]
Robert ‘Butch’ Berry, a candidate for District 97 House of Representatives drops by to spread the good word about–Butch Berry.

This week The Ozark Harvest Hour says sayonara and adios to musician and farmer Fred Mayer who leaves Carroll County for the beaches of South Florida. Jerusalem Post columnist and author Jim Fletcher tells us about his newest book It’s the End of the World (and I Feel Fine) and fails to see the irony [...]
This week the Ozark Harvest Radio Hour helps further civil and public discourse by asking and answering the question “Are motorcyclists cases of arrested development playing dress-up on heavily financed noise machines?” or, are they “Valued customers seeing the Ozarks up close and personal?” David Bell, writer, philosopher, musician, photographer, professor, business owner, and publisher [...]
This week the Ozark Harvest Radio Hour responds to a scurrilous and scathing letter from a listener and plays a couple of tunes on an old organ newly discovered in a dark corner of a local church. Marcie Brewster of Wildfire Farm tells us about an innovative and thoughtful collaboration with St. John’s Hospital to [...]
The Ozark Harvest Radio Hour takes a grand tour of the Berryville Farmers’ Market and fails to get Julius Kovacs, owner of My Hens are Laying for You farm, to speak on the air. No matter; we filled the gap with a wonderful tune by Cara Scrogis and Kirk Ashworth, our favorite local musicians. The [...]
