Episode two of the Modern Farm and Artisan Co-Op Podcast is an introductory episode for podcast co-host Anna Lytle. Anna, a military veteran and Texas native, moved to Utah with her husband, who is originally from Saint George, about five years ago. After the birth of their daughter, Anna started learning more about the human impact on the environment and it quickly became a passion for her and she began attempting to live as low waste and environmentally conscious as possible. Anna quickly realized that making a positive environmental impact went hand in hand with supporting the local economy by creating connections with local farmers and artisans. Shortly after Anna and Kat met, the idea of the podcast was born in hopes of creating a resource for the southern Utah community to create incredible local connections and support the local economy.
