The beginning of October brings the close of traditional growing season. We see pumpkins, gourds, and sweet potatoes sending out the season. We invited Aldine Grossi, the famous Punk Rock Farmer aka Aldine Strycnine of KRCL, to join us for episode 228 to talk about his mad cooking skills, making homemade plum wine, and being an integral part of the Utah urban farming community.

Al made his way to Utah via New York state. Growing up on a massive farm we had to ask him what came first? The love of his farm or his love for cooking. We think in this case the farm came first. Al is the perfect example of practicing farm to table. You can always find him sharing his picks and creations on his Instagram. We agree with Al that produce from the store never tastes the way it should. No one likes “mass produced shit. “

Some of the other things you will find the Punk Rock Farmer involved in around Utah is KRCL’s Friday night RadioACTive program. He is working on seed propagation to integrate into a future seed swap. Al also plays guitar! His love of music came from his hippie brother. He plays part in organizing a musical event down at Rim Rock in Captiol Reef called With a Little Help from my Friends, two times a year, pre-COVID.

If you want to follow his journey through urban farming you can find him on Facebook and Instagram. Keep updated for upcoming concerts, radio shows, and community involvement.
