… and back to the show
This episode is huge. Like, twenty no-till acres huge. We’ve been looking for the mid-scale no-till vegetable farm for over a year and finally found one, Local Harvest Farm in BC, Canada. In just six years he went from a handful of conventional crops to a myriad of organic no-till veg with another 20+ acres of pastured animals. We get into the how/why of his farms evolution, the technical details of how he manages scale with only 10 employees at the height of the season, and direct marketing through an on-site farm store and cafe.
