I know how difficult it can be if you have one bad season, it can really mess you up for years \u2013 so I wanted to go with someone who had a good selection, good price, and someone who operates with a working farm. This family has been on their farm for generations.\u201d The full interview can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/hzWf55FneHs\" data-rel=\"lightbox-video-0\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/hzWf55FneHs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hzWf55FneHs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Through supporting local farmers, local brewers and local distillers, as well as local restaurants!
