For this Perennial Plate video, we stopped to chat with some farmers at the American Indian Mothers Three Sisters Farm in Shannon, North Carolina.

The beauty of Montana is stunning and the approach to ranching at J Bar L is inspiring. Situated on 30,000 acres in one of the most important wildlife corridors in the country, this ranch tries to replicate the bisons' role in this habitat. The result is an area packed with wildlife, fertile soil as well as a healthy and delicious meat. And the folks who run this place touched our hearts and became our friends.
