WHQR Presents ... Wild Things: Blueberry Lane Farm Sanctuary

Wild Things is a limited series podcast from WHQR, hosted by writer, journalist, and podcaster Shawna Kenney, focusing on the creatures and critters of Coastal Carolina — and the people who care for them.

On this episode: The name Blueberry Lane evokes a whimsical place of some other time, when children skipped down dirt roads picking wild berries on their way to a place like that Fisher Price barn that moo-ed when you opened its doors. But Blueberry Lane Farm Sanctuary is a very real safe space for animals, a farm thriving today in Atkinson, North Carolina—a town home to under 300 people, in a state among the five largest pork producers in the United States.

Wild Things is made possible by a grant from the Fourth Estate Fund.
