LaDonna Foley lives in Wyoming on her family farm and she has been raising Welsh Harlequin ducks since 2005. She also volunteers with several livestock and poultry organizations in addition to 4-H, the county fair, and local farmer's markets. And I love this part, Her teenage children never complain of boredom since LaDonna can always find projects in need of free family labor.

Today’s show is a recap of our adventures at the Mother Earth News Fair last weekend in Asheville, NC. We were blessed with a sunny, warm weekend and over 20,000 folks from around the US coming to enjoy learning how to live a greener lifestyle.

S.T.E.M. Bunnies is a program was dreamt up by a nine year old named Caleb Smith to help save endangered heritage breeds and to prevent abandoned rabbits after Easter impulse-buying.  This vision turned into a huge educational opportunity for families and schools now the STEM curriculum is also available when you check out a rabbit. https://www.facebook.com/stembunnies
