Renaissance Mushroom Man
Stan Yockey is an enigma. First, he has two pugs that he may like more than most people and he collects hens on nests. You know the ones—the vintage candy dishes that adorn nearly every grandmother’s faux-oak china cabinet. This wouldn’t be so strange if Stan favored V-necks and Ricky Martin, but it’s entirely inconsistent with the turkey hide he’s tanning in his garage.

Yes, Girls Can Farm!
Want to hear what a certain girl with farm dirt under her fingernails sounds like? Listen up as Brenda Anderson sits down for a quick chat with Arianne McGinnis.
Feminista a la Carte
