Today's podcast is dedicated to those with a keen interest in mountain agriculture, curious about the lifestyle of a couple who lead a self-sustainable existence amidst the rugged terrain. We delve into their farming seasons, crops they cultivate, and the ways individuals can become part of this unique community.

During my project in Tar, I had the pleasure of meeting Caitlin and Jason, a remarkable and vibrant couple hailing from the US, who have made Tar their home for an extended period. They've embraced agricultural and farming practices within the village. Their gracious acceptance of my request to join this podcast conversation is something I'm genuinely excited about and I'm thrilled to share it with all of you.
