Though the most exciting event on April 8 was the birth of baby nephew Aidan (perhaps a future hop farmer), Dad and I spent the morning that day with Sarah Harris of North Country Public Radio. A fellow Middlebury College grad, she had seen the Origin Hops funding campaign on Facebook and thought using crowdfunding to launch a value-add farm venture was an interesting take on innovative farming.
