On this episode of the Agroinnovations Podcast I am joined by Margaret Youngs Coleman, who is the farm manager at the Chewonki Foundation, an outdoor classroom and learning institution dedicated to providing young people with educational experiences in the outdoors.

Margaret and I discuss the location and landscape of the Chewonki farm, its role in education, and the importance of wilderness and farm experiences for young people in today’s society.
