I could listen to this all day long.
I love this show. I am in the middle of my journey learning about land management and agroforestry and this show has really pushed my understanding and unlocked so many ah-ha moments for me. Love that many episodes are from a Wisconsin perspective since that’s where my land is, but the topics would be relevant for any in agroforestry. Highly, highly recommend this show!
Perfect for permaculture enthusiasts!
