Season #2 Episode #31: Into the Cosmos
In this episode we’re looking back and reflecting on the last two years-how we survived, what we learned, how we grieved, and how we’re recovering. Farmer Cathy Lafrenz of Miss Effie’s Country Flowers and Garden Stuff, recounts the death of her husband and the efforts of her community to support her through this difficult time. Host Mary Swander spins a tale of the night sky and all it took in-from the loss of a friend, to home haircuts, to Amish wash on the line, to the Roman candles the volunteer fire department shot into the dark.

Season #2 Episode #27: Behind the Scenes
Producer Rick Brewer interviews host Mary Swander about the origins of “AgArts from Horse & Buggy Land.” Swander explains how the impetus for the show came from the owner of the local General Store. She tells how she created a recording studio, then during the pandemic, how she had to adapt the show to the circumstances. Ultimately, Swander created a fictional town (Freemartin Town) for the podcast and populated it with characters like Ruby, the grossmommie, reminding the listeners of the April 1 deadline for the “Ask Ruby” contest.
