My New Farmer to Farmer Podcast

3/5/2015

I'm so excited that I wanted to put that in all caps!

Last Friday, we did a soft launch of my new Farmer to Farmer Podcast, and now we're ready to share it with the world!

You can subscribe and download on iTunes, or, for the Android-inclined, get it on Stitcher.


For over twenty-five years in the organic and local farming business, I've benefited tremendously from farmers sharing their knowledge, stories, and inspiration with me. It's what inspired me to work with the MOSES Organic Farming Conference for over thirteen years, and it made me a better farmer at every step of the way.

I created the Farmer to Farmer Podcast to provide a fresh and honest look at what it takes to make your farm work, from a variety of perspectives. The show features down-to-earth conversations with experienced farmers - and the occasional non-farmer - about everything from soil fertility and record-keeping to getting your crops to market without making yourself crazy. In the episodes I've recorded so far, we've talked about everything from employment philosophy and the best techniques for weed control in carrots to making your way as an organic vegetable farmer in the heart of conventional corn and soybean country.

We've already published episodes with Liz Graznak, Lisa Kivirist, Allen Philo, and John Peterson, and we've got more great guests lined up and on the way.

Please take a listen, and leave a review on iTunes or Stitcher (or both, if you really love it!) - your ratings and reviews are a critical part of moving the Farmer to Farmer Podcast up in the lists and search results, and help me get the Farmer to Farmer Podcast out to more people.

From the reviews on iTunes:

  • This is the type of farming podcast I have been looking for. It provides valuable insight into other operations and the minds of their operators. Chris is an excellent host and his decades of experience allow him to ask the perfect questions to provide a valuable and informative interview with talented and wise growers. Thanks to Chris for putting together such an amazing resource for growers, new and veteran.

  • Honestly, I found myself laughing out loud, shedding a tear (thanks, Liz!), and wishing I wasn't driving so I could take notes, as I listened to this podcast. It is the perfect mix of farmer's stories along with practical, usable knowledge for new and established farmers alike. Great job, Chris. We want more!
