Essential!

As an absolute beginner who is determined to learn about all aspects of farming, this podcast is absolutely ESSENTIAL. The episodes cover such a fantastic range of topics, there really is something for everyone. It is enjoyable and easy to listen to with a very casual feel, but totally packed with informative, high quality content. Highly recommended!

A daily must-listen on the farm.

I stumbled across this podcast while taking a year to manage a community garden following a tough first year at our own farm business. Now we’re back to our farm business this year, and largely thanks to this show and the experts and resources it’s pointed me to, we’ve absolutely transformed our methods and results for the better. I can’t wait for next year because we plan to basically revolutionize every aspect of our farm based on Diego’s and Curtis Stone’s advice. This is essential listening for anyone who wants to learn how to farm productively and profitably on a sustainable scale while also leaving plenty of time for all the good things in life.
