Presenting BRAHM TO GO, the podcast that brings art and history to you through artist interviews, oral histories, and scholarly lectures.

Welcome to BRAHM To Go. Your Go-To Source for arts and history. Today we have an interview with Jacob Crigler and Kara Dodson. Jacob and Kara own and operate Full Moon Farm in Triplett, NC. They are transplants to the High Country but have put down roots as first-generation farmers, and even though they are young they use the timeless agricultural technology of working with draft horses. This interview was part of the exhibit the Way Watauga Works and the questions and responses focus on working as a farmer. Jacob and Kara were good friends of mine before the project and I regularly purchase their produce. Our discussion covers their work history, how they got involved with farming, their philosophy of working with the land, and the technical aspects of working with draft horses. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did.

BRAHM To Go is produced by Willard Watson, with support from Maako Shiratori. Music by Melissa Edd. The Way Watauga Works was made possible with support by the Smithsonian Institute’s Traveling Exhibition Service, Museum on Main Street, and NC Humanities.
