Ben and Hana Yoder began Savage River Farm in the village of Pocahontas, in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, less than ten years ago. While also raising two young children, the Yoders have achieved a successful farming venture, raising various kinds of livestock, vegetables, mushrooms – and running a local CSA program. They talk about the challenges of farming, but also their passion for small-scale agriculture in the region.
