Farmland, fresh food—and figure-four leglocks

Inside the Village - A weekly podcast featuring newsmakers in Ontario

In this milestone episode of Inside the Village, Frisco and Scott explore an issue that most people don’t even know about: disappearing farmland. According to new numbers released by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA), the province is losing 319 acres of farmland every day—or the equivalent of nine family farms per week. We dig into the problem with OFA president Peggy Brekveld. Also on the podcast: body slams in the back of a church. “Big Ben” Ortmanns, who operates a wrestling school in Cambridge, tells us why he moved his ring to God’s House. As Hulk Hogan used to say: “Say your prayers!”
