Claire takes Monte and Kaliis out to Natural Roots in Conway, a CSA farm and recipient of a Local Hero Award from CISA in 2025. They talk to farmer David Fisher about:

  • Their beloved 22-week summer CSA – and farm store open to all!
  • The climate benefits – and plain joy – of farming with draft horses.
  • David’s earth-centered philosophy for how to approach this moment in time.

    • “Natural Roots is not an example of how if you do everything right you’ll be protected against hardship. It’s not an example of how one person, or business, can solve global problems all on their own. But it stands as a source of inspiration for each of us: what is in my control? What can I make better? What do I have to offer to my patch of earth, and my community? For that, CISA is proud to present David Fisher and Natural Roots with a Local Hero award.” –> Read the full award presentation remarks here.
