Good podcast about small-scale commercial agriculture. The episodes about growing are pretty good, but those about the business of farming are usually great.
I very much enjoy listening to the show and gleaning from all the wisdom of farmers and entrepreneurs.
Been listening and following Diego for almost a decade. Never imagined we’d end up being farmers, we were just a couple of passionate gardeners when we discovered him. He was a big inspiration and we probably wouldn’t be doing what we’re doing if it wasn’t for him. Never would have imagined what was possible. Thanks Diego.
Thank you for all the podcasts you do, please keep producing them they are so good I’ve shared them with thousands of the clients around Chicago and Tallahassee to promote you and your business! It’s helped me to start up Star of the Sea Farm and looking forward to making this world a healthier and better place because of you!
Thank you Diego. The knowledge I’ve gained listening to your shows has helped me start my own business.
