This week on Fresh From the Field Fridays, Dan the Produce Man is joined by Farmer Al Courchesne of Frog Hollow Farm, coming to you right from a pluot orchard in Brentwood, California!

Al is celebrating 50 years of farming at Frog Hollow Farm, and he and Dan dig into how the farm has evolved over the decades. You'll hear how Frog Hollow grows its incredible fruit organically and regeneratively, makes its own compost, and gets that tree-ripened fruit from the orchard to market.

They also talk about how Frog Hollow puts overripe fruit to good use by sun-drying it right on the farm, along with some of the other delicious goodies they produce.

It's 50 years of farming, great fruit, and a look behind the scenes at one of California's legendary organic farms, Frog Hollow Farm.
