Episode Synopsis

Today’s guest is Laura Klahre, a scientist, sustainable farmer, and passionate advocate for pollinators. Though she began her career as an oceanographer, Laura hasn’t left marine science behind; instead, she’s applied its principles of observation and environmental care to life on land. At Blossom Meadow Farm on the North Fork of Long Island, she focuses on native pollinators like mason bees and promotes awareness of often-overlooked allies like the flower flies, an efficient, unsung pollinator helping to fill the gap left by declining bee populations. Whether she’s crafting award-winning, pectin-free jams or working to protect native ecosystems, Laura blends science and stewardship in every aspect of her farm’s mission.
