Today we're joined by a team that's been restoring native prairies for nearly 40 years. Based in the heart of Iowa, Nicolas Lirio and Kent Boucher of Hoksey Native Seeds continue to carry on the legacy left by the company's founder, Carroll Hoksbergen. Their mission is to produce high quality native grasses and wildflower seeds that help farmers and landowners across the Midwest from Illinois to South Dakota bring the prairie back to life.

Topics Covered:

• The origin story of Hoksey Native Seeds.
• Pheasant hunting the Hoksey property
• Why Nicolas values "messy" prairies
• Kent's journey to becoming a Hoksey employee
• The Prairie Farm Podcast
• How Hoksey is restoring landscapes across the Midwest
