  • The nuts and bolts of small scale farming

    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.
