MID-WEST FARM REPORT - MADISON

The Escalade Chicken Run: How A Quest For Eggs Built A Farm


Listen Later

After retiring from professional basketball at age 35, Marcus Landry traded his sneakers for soil to build a multi-species farm, Beulah Family Homestead, near East Troy. He tells Stephanie Hoff about the "all or nothing" mindset that led him to expand from a suburban backyard to a 20-acre homestead (and growing) featuring everything from Highland cattle to Clydesdales. More than just a farm, Marcus also tells Mid-West Farm Report about how his 4-H programs and basketball camps are providing inner-city youth with a holistic path toward entrepreneurship, education, and a better life. And yes, he did use his wife's Cadillac Escalade to haul not just chickens, but sheep!
