KPOV is one of the founding members of a new network linking community media organizations across the state. In their second programming collaboration Oregon Community Media brings you the voice of farmers’ markets throughout Oregon.
Learn how farmers’ markets play a special role in communities all across Oregon this month, as KPOV High Desert Community Radio brings you voices of food purveyors and craftspeople in our diverse regions.
The one-hour program includes contributions from several community radio stations, which are members of Oregon Community Media.
