Great Resource

What a friendly podcast! I especially appreciate the information about regenerative agriculture, native plants, and other current pressing topics! I only have one gripe. Occasionally a guest will read their presentation. It really detracts from an otherwise great podcast.

Northeast is tough

Found this gem and listened to the first few episodes so far. It’s great that everything they talk about specifically applies to us in the Northeast!
