Neighbor to Neighbor | Jo Daviess County Soil & Water Health Coalition

The idea of creating a farmer-led group was first floated by Galena, IL resident Beth Baranski, who had an interest in local land and water issues. This grassroots group is now a monthly circle of friendship and a public forum where farmers, like Greg Thoren, share decades of knowledge about soil health. In this episode, meet Greg and now the group’s organizing secretary, Beth Baranski, who are building connection and watching a northern Illinois community come alive with interest in its land and streams.
