What’s Good for the Farmer Is Good for the Pollinator
Episode 11
Wednesday, 11 February, 2026

At LeDoux Grange, an organic-certified, diversified vegetable farm in the mountains of Mora County, New Mexico, beneficial pollinators like honey bees, hover flys, and lady bugs get to forage for longer thanks to a high tunnel. During the margins of the growing season, when nothing outside is flowering, Farmer Kristin Swoszowski-Tran leaves the doors to her high tunnel open. The tunnel, funded through an Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) grant allows LeDoux Grange’s tiny, winged-residents to forage on the pollen and nectar-producing plants.
