Storyteller Brita Lundberg On Farming, Rice & Her Family Legacy


Listen Later

Today's guest is Brita Lundberg, a fourth generation farmer and the chief storyteller at Lundberg Family Farms. Brita joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her family business, what it's like being a young farmer today, and the particulars of growing rice, her family’s speciality. 

Brita also talks about regenerative farming, how her family has saved tens of thousands of ducks in their fields, and what it means to “read the rice.” She also shares the emotional decision to leave her career in book publishing in New York City and return home to work on the family business. 

Thank you to Kerrygold for supporting our show.
