logo of Third Coast International Audio FestivalEditor's note, 10.10.08: We're thrilled to announce that this piece has been tapped by the Third Coast International Audio Festival as the winner of a 2008 "Best Documentary" award. Moreover, it's the first podcast (as opposed to radio story) ever to win in any category in the eight years of the competition. Congratulations to Rachel Leventhal on seeing her fine work honored!



The Bobolink Dairy in Vernon, New Jersey, makes artisanal grass-fed cheese and wood-fired bread. That's plenty of work all by itself, but Jonathan and Nina White, Bobolink's owners, have a larger goal in mind: to reinvent pre-industrial agriculture for a post-industrial age. Journalist Rachel Leventhal spent two days at the Bobolink Dairy and produced this audio documentary.
