Hinder Brewing Co., plants/flowers by Chain O’ Lakes Home & Garden Center and lodging by Crystal River Inn and Cottages.
The show initially aired the week of July 10 and has aired in 35 states, over 140 markets throughout the US, on The Rural Channel in Canada and will be repeated the week of November 6, for a second time.
