I came for Clarkson Farm Review and Stayed
Listener here, from Colorado, U.S.! I found this podcast by looking up reviews on Clarkson Farm show. I binged it and became deeply interested in UK farming and how it correlates and is different compared to U.S. farming. I love this weekly podcast! They are funny, humble and most importantly to the point on what’s going on in UK farming and trade.
Thanks guys for talking and sharing about what really matters. Our food!
American Love 🤘🏼
