12/10/20 - The First Black-Owned Cider Mill & More
American Family Farmer and Host, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com begins with news of a poll that points out that American Adults have a very positive view of Farmers. In other Farm News, Milk prices are more erratic than ever. Next, we meet Leandra King, founder of family owned and operated Detroit Farm & Cider. www.detroitfarmandcider.com As a child growing up in a turbulent home with a mother who abused drugs, Leandra King constantly faced a paralyzing anxiety that would completely consume her. To calm down, she would find a quiet place outdoors and pile mud and dirt on her body. The outdoors was simply a positive space where she could go to escape that anxiety. About 18 months ago, she bought a four-acre plot of land and opened Detroit Farm and Cider: the first Black-owned cider mill in the country. She tells of her trials and successes. Finally comes Farmer Doug's op-ed piece, called "Where's The Money."
