About The Show:

"If you can put your shoulder to the wheel on something that's positive, that's tangible, that can be your lifeline, to having a good outlook toward your community and toward your life in general. ”

- Mark Cain

Mark Cain's journey into organic farming began during his college years. His enthusiasm for biology and ecology led him to start a small farm in Illinois. Realizing he needed more training, he moved to California to apprentice under the renowned gardener, Alan Chadwick. Eventually, Mark found his way to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and discovered a property with blueberries, which became the foundation of his organic farming operation. For Mark, working outdoors and connecting with nature was a transformative experience, bringing him immense happiness and purpose.

Over the years, Mark's organic farming operation expanded, and his relationship with Ozark Natural Foods (ONF) Co-op became integral to supporting local organic agriculture. The co-op's commitment to buying locally grown produce and providing fair prices to small growers helped foster a strong community of organic farmers in the region.

Mark felt a kinship with fellow farmers and valued the collaborative atmosphere where knowledge and advice could be shared. The co-op's role in nurturing these relationships has made a lasting impact, not just on Mark's life, but on the community as a whole, reinforcing the importance of local, organic agriculture.
