Skip Connett & Erin Flynn On the Dream That Never Died

Skip Connett and Erin Flynn at the StoryCorps mobile booth in Austin.

Skip Connett and his wife Erin Flynn are the owners of Green Gate Farms, an organic community farm in East Austin. They sat down together in the StoryCorps mobile booth recently to talk about their life together and how they ended up moving to Texas to become farmers. As a child, Erin never saw farming in her future, but for Skip, running a farm was the culmination of a lifelong dream.

This piece was produced for KUT by Michael Lee with interviews recorded at StoryCorps, a national nonprofit whose mission is to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the stories of our lives. Visit storycorps.org for more information.

Support for the Storycorps visit comes from Belmont Village – Senior Living.
