Locally Grown Radio
Locally Grown is a weekly audio show with a companion weblog about local Northfield Minnesota issues and the people who live here.
Our broad mission is similar to Northfield.org’s, i.e., using the internet/online tools to strengthen the civic fabric of the Northfield area. We’re part of Northfield’s civic blogosphere, and focus our blogging and podcasting on
- being opinionated
- convening civil but opinionated conversations with citizens and community leaders
- showing the community to itself via photos and video; and
- delivering it all in a way that’s fun and at times irreverent. That keeps it interesting for us and hopefully for our site visitors, as we believe civic engagement should have hefty and regular doses of fun.
Our radio show is podcast every week (see our podcast archives) and airs Mondays at 6:00 pm on KYMN 1080 AM. The co-hosts/bloggers, a.k.a “The Triumvirate”:
- Ross Currier, citizen, Northfield Downtown Development Corporation (NDDC) Executive Director and blogger;
- Tracy Davis, citizen, local business owner (GuildCraft Carpets), blogger, and a member of the Northfield Planning Commission; co-founder of Northfield Citizens Online/Northfield.org;
- Griff Wigley, citizen, local business owner (Wigley and Associates/Leadership Blogging); co-founder of Northfield Citizens Online/Northfield.org;
