As the year draws to a close, we gather around the metaphorical hearth for a thoughtful holiday wrap-up episode. We’re joined by Tom Williamson, who offers a candid and deeply grounded perspective on the future of farming, and the barriers, obstacles, and opportunities that face farmers today—highlighting the critical role of community, stewardship, and long-term thinking in sustaining agriculture for generations to come.

As we look ahead to the coming year, this episode serves as both a reflection and a call to remember what matters most: the land beneath our feet, the people who tend it, and the responsibility we all share in shaping the future of food.
