On this month's episode of Flippin' the Switch, we're celebrating National Agriculture Month and Grilling Month with two very special guests! Ever wondered how a family farm can thrive through generations and even a pandemic? Join us as we get to know local farmers Eric and Ashley Smith, owners of JS Lowland Cattle. You'll get an insider's look at the Smith Farm, a legacy that began in 1928 and has evolved with the times. Hear heartwarming stories about the multi-generational involvement, including contributions from Eric's 90-year-old grandfather. Learn about their meticulous cattle management practices, from rotational grazing to raising diverse breeds like Black Angus, Limousine Mix, and Charolais.

We then switch gears to chat with Lainey Johnson from Pogies Adventure Center. Learn how Pogies transformed from a simple fishing shop into a multifaceted outdoor adventure and educational hub during the pandemic. Lainey shares the inspiring story of their new farm in Maysville, which offers agritourism and farm camps that teach essential skills like gardening, baking, and animal care. We also explore Pogies' exciting future plans. This episode is a testament to resilience, community spirit, and the enduring legacy of local farming.
