The Delaware Farm Bureau’s Promotion & Education (P&E) Committee is thrilled to announce the launch of “Stories from the Field.” A new monthly podcast series that brings the diverse stories of Delaware farmers directly to listeners. The podcast debuted on Friday, August 15, 2025, and release new episodes every third Friday of the month, spotlighting the behind-the-scenes realities of farming across the state.
Each episode will feature interviews with Delaware Farm Bureau members who will share personal stories from decisions and technology to family history, tradition, and the future of farming in our state. “Stories from the Field” aims to highlight the diversity of agricultural operations across the state of Delaware and showcase the farmers who nourish their local communities.
The first episode featured Chris Sylvester with Spectrum Farms outside of Felton, Delaware. Known for blending artistry with agriculture, the Sylvesters offer welcoming experiences such as You-Cut flower sessions and a variety of flower subscriptions including pint-sized spring mason-jar arrangements and deluxe bouquets of early-season favorites. Experience vivid storytelling as Chris reflects on expanding access to locally grown flowers, the importance of wholesale relationships, and the joy of farm-led connection.
This podcast series is available to listen to on all streaming podcast services including Spotify and Apple podcasts. Watch for episode highlights on our social media, and a video version of each episode on YouTube.
