Episode 49: Creating a Connection to the Land

Chambana Proud

As fall begins in the Champaign-Urbana area, our minds start thinking about pumpkins, apples, and all of fall’s bounty. Terri & Carly sit down with Randy from Curtis Orchard & Pumpkin Patch to learn about their humbling beginning, the growth of the farm, and how they’re keeping new generations connected to the importance of local agriculture. Stay tuned in to plan your weekend with a variety of fun, upcoming events from the Arcola Broomcorn Festival to Mum Fest to a day full of gaming.
