Red Shirt Farm is a prodigal agricultural endeavor, but is innovating with vigor. Not only are they using green methods to heat their greenhouses, but a brand new farmstore is helping them to provide fresh produce and local products to folx in the northern and central berkshires. We speak with Farmers Jim and Sarah with Berkshire Agricultural Venture’s Dan Carr about the story of the farm and more. 

We’ll also have live music Monday from Max Wareham. The storied banjo player and historian has a brand new album due out in June. He takes stage at the Parlor Room this Friday, May 8th,  and we’ll hear how recording this album by himself in the most bluegrass-y of locations has shifted his perspective on the music he makes. 

And it’s Star Wars Day, and even though Mr. Universe, Kainaat studios’ Salman Hameed is more of a Star Trek Person, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate by talking about super massive black holes, binary star systems, and other things that pop up in the galaxy far far away.
