Comfort Peace and Freedom Podcast

I'm Ken Rusk, and during each episode, I speak with a world-class personality about what made them successful and about their experiences with my three favorite words: Comfort, Peace, and Freedom!

Today, Ken's guest this week is Phil Riehm.

Phil is a farmer and owner of Riehm Family Farms. His family has been growing produce in Ohio for 5 generations. Phil and his family provide organically raised fruits and vegetables through their road side stand, farmers markets, and CSA program.

Ken and Phil will talk about all that goes into running a family farm and how they stay competitive in a busy food marketplace.
