The Seed Farmer Podcast with Dan Brisebois of Tourne-Sol Co-operative Farm. Every episode I'm going to bring you a conversation with a grower who has integrated Saving Seeds into their own farm systems. Some grow seed crops to sell commercially and some do it just for their own farm use. I'm hoping their stories will make you want to save seed on your own farm... and if you already save seed on yo... more

  • Fantastic show!

    I love all the No-Till related podcasts, but this is my favorite!

  • This show is my farmer-need dream come true

    I was so excited to learn about this podcast by pure happenstance while scrolling on Instagram! What a perfect nerdy blend of topics, and the timing is perfect as I’m researching how to start growing for seed production as another source of farm income. Can’t wait for episode 2 😎
