As we countdown the days until the Fourth of July, team HRN contemplates the deeper meaning of Independence Day, and what it means to be a citizen of the United State of America.

We ponder what our Founding Mothers and Fathers sat down to drink after (and before) a long day of revolution, and highlight a story of self-sufficiency on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico and an update on life post-Hurricane Maria.

Join us for an analysis of the challenges facing independent grocery stores across the US, and a behind-the-scenes look at our own radio and podcast production.

Meat + Three is taking a break next week for the holiday, but keep an eye on our feed for a special snack. We wish you all a very Happy Fourth of July! Tune in July 13th for the next full episode of Meat + Three.
