In March, part of the No-Till Growers team went to the Organic Growers School in NC and held a roundtable with Erin of Cedar Chest Farm and Lyric and Noah of Wild East Farm about scaling-up from homestead to full-fledged farm business. We get to hear the stories of how both farms started on a very small scale and smartly grew their operations, plus tips, lessons, and helpful thoughts on business startups.

Got a BONUS Farmer Jesse episode this week with Ari Memar, founder of Farmhand, a personal assistant for growers. It may not surprise you, Farmer J is not the most tech-savvy guy, so we’re excited to chat with Ari about the easy-to-use program they’ve built at Farmhand to save admin time and get farmers farming more, plus how the tech world and gardening world--from his parents to his own life--have influenced his path.

There is nobody who does more awesome headlines than the British. Especially the tabloids, so good. They can even manage to talk about things like compost in a way that almost brings tears of joy…

“Posh compost that’s entry level.” -The Times
“Luxury manures, the sweet smell of success.” -The Times
“Twenty pounds for a tiny bag of poo? What really goes into luxury compost?” - The Guardian

Don’t be put off by “luxury compost” because our guests today are quite down to earth. Today, Mimi is speaking with The Land Gardeners Bridget and Henrietta, two incredible women, who are former lawyers who came together over a shared love of soil and a hopeful vision of the future. They are known world-wide for producing some of the most extraordinary landscapes and coveted cut-flowers.

The Land Gardeners Beautiful Website, where you can take their courses and buy their stunning books & tools.
