Podcast Feature with Maryland AgWorks
We talked with Maryland AgWorks
In December, Board Member and longtime Days of Taste Director, Riva Kahn was interviewed by Peggy Eppig on Maryland Agricultural Education Foundation’s podcast, Maryland AgWorks. This podcast series features people who live, work and teach in the world of agriculture and we’re so excited that a TWK representative was included!
