As multiple suburbs of Chicago have now begun to pass ordinances responding to large numbers of migrants being bussed in from out-of-state, host and producer Jim Hanke speaks with several guests this week about the latest update on this multi-layered and ongoing issue: WBBM's Carolina Garibay reports on what she saw at the city's south loop landing zone, where recently-arriving migrants were sleeping on buses, but spoke with her about their hope for a brighter future here in the United States. Kane County Sheriff Ron Hain describes the scene when an unannounced bus from Texas arrived last month in rural Elburn, and how his team has adapted to assist with future drop-offs in the area. Immigration advocate Lee Goodman voices his opposition to suburban communities passing migrant buses on to Chicago, arguing that most of these townships have enough available resources to handle the influx on their own.

For the past couple years at the annual Ball Customer Day event in West Chicago, panels have been assembled to share thoughts on a topic during lunch in the big tent. This year, the topic was how to plan for 2024—a big question and one that has everyone in the industry talking. Following three unique seasons, it can be challenging (if not impossible) for you and your team to set sights on a plan for your operation next year.   Because Ball Customer Day is now actually two days, the final Thursday and Friday in July, this episode only covers one panel. Be sure to check out the other panel discussion (also posted as a podcast) because the participants are different, and the ideas are unique.   On Thursday, moderator Bill Calkins spoke to Johannes Pieterse (JP) and Brent Troost, co-owners of Countryside Greenhouse and Flower Shop, a grower-retailer with locations in Elburn and Crystal Lake, Illinois. The third panelist was Jim Kennedy, national sales manager at Ball, who shared how Ball Seed is planning as a supplier and ways Ball Seed can assist your team when strategizing for upcoming years.   Panelists shared thoughts on these questions:   How did your team create a plan for 2023? What went into this planning and how did the season go? The big question heard around the industry is, “How do I plan for 2024?” How is your business thinking about your 2024 plan at the moment? With change and turnover constant in any organization, developing teams and team members is more critical than ever. Please share how your company goes about training and education of staff members. Why invest in this? Does it pay off? Because Customer Day is focused on innovative new plants, as well as tried and true varieties, please share some of the plants and concepts you feel will make an impact in 2024. Finally, please offer one key to success for 2024.

What do you think of when you hear the word "mead?" Vikings, Renaissance Faires, a cloying sweet nectar? The Under Rocks team discovers the joy of modern mead during a visit to downtown Elburn.

11-15-22 Tonight we're headed to Illinois to talk with Luke Goucher and Carson Souza, proprietor and head brewer/meadmaker at Obscurity Brewing and Mead. Obscurity Brewing and Mead was founded 6 years ago, and has been open for the last 2.5 years, with Obscurity Mead Hall being open for about 1.5 years. The brewery side is a brew pub in Illinois that features would class Beer, BBQ, and Braggots. They focus on making the best product they can. The Mead Hall is a small niche tasting room with production. They specialize in ciders, still meads, sparkling session meads, and pyments. Or basically anything they can get weird with. Luke Goucher is a real estate tycoon, restauranteur, and commercial banker with the absolute love and passion for mead and craft beer. He is an alumni of Augustana University. Luke grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago. It's his visionary sight that brought along Obscurity as well as many other things. Father and husband, he never sleeps trying to see the bigger picture. Carson Souza grew up in New Jersey and went to college for music. But he never left food and beverage the whole time. He's been a commercial brewer for the last 15 years on and off. Luke actually got him fermenting mead. His passion grew from there.

In the first of a two-part series, this episode explores an Illinois food company with a farmer that grows for it, a teacher that explores about it with her students, and a representative of the company that has called Illinois home for more than a century. Hear from Joe White, Elburn farmer and president of the Kane County Farm Bureau, Andrew Utterback, Sr. Mgr., Sustainability for Ingredion and Eva Manzke, Teacher, Walker Elementary in Bedford Park.

In Edible Alpha® podcast #105, Andy talks with Marc Bernard of Rustic Road Farm in Elburn, Illinois. He and husband Luis farm 18 acres plus hoop houses, produce honey, and raise heritage-breed pigs, free-range chickens, sheep, and goats. They also run a thriving agritourism business and growing value-added brand. A longtime horticulture enthusiast and successful chef, Marc had always dreamed of farming someday. So in 2011, when he learned of a farmhouse on five acres headed for foreclosure, he and Luis snapped it up. Neither had real farming experience, but they looked forward to figuring it out as they went. Their initial plan was to produce food just for themselves and friends while Marc stayed with his restaurant group and Luis finished up his master's degree. The Bernards started small, growing vegetables organically and pasture-raising chickens and hogs. Marc's restaurant connections provided an automatic market for their meat and eggs, and they started a farm stand and CSA for the community. Over time, they expanded their farming acreage and now raise about 700 laying hens and 150 red wattle pigs, plus sheep and goats, inviting the community to come play with the goat kids. They partner with Amish farmers downstate for turkey. Rustic Road also makes an expanding roster of value-added products, including soup, sausages, entrées, and baked goods. Marc says they've made many mistakes along the way, teaching them valuable lessons and shaping their business plan. But they've stayed committed to organic, pasture-raised, non-GMO, and—most importantly, says Marc—producing delicious food. These tenets have earned their community's support, so much so that they no longer sell anything wholesale. As suburban Chicago expands closer to Rustic Road Farm, more and more people come to visit and shop the onsite farmer's market—plus, the pandemic boosted traffic. The Bernards, along with their well-paid, empowered, talented team, love playing host, espousing a “cherish the guest” philosophy. They're also intent on expanding access to high-quality food, so the farm grows a lot of food for a local pantry. But of course, making this multifaceted business work requires keen attention to the numbers, something that Marc has always excelled at. Rustic Road tracks inventory and sales, uses data to determine harvests, works with an accountant, and is smart about financing. In the beginning, they received USDA microloans, FSA support, and a value-added producer grant. More recently, they've scored Compeer Financial loan to purchase a building for their own value-added kitchen, won a second VAPG to build up their soup brand, and got their first line of credit. Tune in to hear Marc's journey in more detail, as well as his advice for starting, operating, and expanding a viable farm business.

Otro gran día con muchas buenas noticias. Y no solo una gran noticia, hoy tuvimos un invitado especial en el programa. Estuvimos encantados de estar acompañados por Fabiola Duensing de la Aurora Public Library, Illinois esta mañana. Ella es una gran persona con una historia asombrosa. Fue divertido aprender de ella hoy. ¡Entremos en las noticias! - Freeman Elementary School PTA y el Distrito Escolar 129 de West Aurora están organizando una recaudación de fondos para reemplazar el equipo del patio de la escuela. La madre Emily Adams escribió en un tablero de mensajes del vecindario que el esfuerzo está diseñado para reemplazar una estructura de juego de "oruga" instalada en la escuela en 1986 la cual había sido donada por los padres y la hermana de Oren Davis de 10 años, quien era estudiante de Freeman y murió de leucemia. La estructura se retiró recientemente después de que el óxido y el daño por corrosión en la base y la cabeza de la estructura plantearon problemas de seguridad. Para recaudar fondos, se están vendiendo paquetes de pizza para cocinarlas en casa de Luigi's Pizza and Fun Center. El costo es de $10 por un kit con cinco bases de mini pizza, una bola de masa adicional, una taza de 2 onzas de 3 ingredientes, una taza de queso de 4 onzas y una taza de salsa de 2.5 onzas. Los pedidos se distribuirán en un drive-through de 4 a 6 p.m. el Martes 22 de junio en el estacionamiento de Luigi, 732 Prairie St. en Aurora. El 50% de las ventas beneficiará al proyecto.
