In this episode, we leave the studio and record in the field. Literally. We visit the green pastures of Paul Meunier & Sons Farms Ltd., a cattle farm located just outside of Edmonton, Alta., to speak with co-owners Chad and Stacey Meunier. They’ll not only walk us through their unique way of farming, but also their unique way of running a business.
