Fascinating podcast by philosopher farmer

We have a lot to learn from Cedric Shannon who engages in regenerative and sustainable agriculture practices on his farm in Floyd County, Virginia. I really like the format in S2E2 of interviewing and discussing with a guest speaker and would love to hear more such conversations with other invited guests.

A leader in regenerative agriculture in Appalachia

This podcast does an epic job portraying the life and ideals of a modern market farmer in Appalachia! They “walk the walk” and practice sustainable farming in it’s truest form by growing a community and truly being a steward of God’s great gift... the land!
