Anna Schweig, the co-owner of Big Thorn Farm & Brewery, stops by to talk to Jim Lewis about how she and her partner Aaron got started with their off-grid farm and brewery operation. All of the fruit and herbs that they use in their beers, Anna grows on their farm, which is a beautiful 15-acre plot just West of Georgetown, IL near the Little Vermillion River in Vermillion County. On the farm they have gooseberries, pear trees, rugosa roses, blackberries, grapes, and about 100 herbs, among other things. They even harvest wood from the property to help flavor and season their beer. Listen in and hear about all of the things Anna and Aaron have learned as they started their farm with no prior farming experience, what they have planned for the future, and what pieces of advice Anna would pass on to would be specialty crop farmers.
