Why does local food cost more? Is it worth it? If you’ve wondered what it takes to start a farm that nurtures the land and community while being financially viable, this episode includes so many juicy details on exactly how to make regenerative farms work.
Organic agriculture expert and farm consultant Brian Maisenbacher of Earth Growers LLC shares his knowledge from over 10 years of experience in permaculture, ranching, orchards, Korean Natural Farming, market gardens and beyond.
He weaves a profound picture of the local food systems at large and how we as consumers can better understand what happens behind the scenes.
He shares his advice on how to communicate with our farmers as consumers and the questions we should (and shouldn’t) be asking. Plus, we dig into exactly WHY local organic food costs more, how we can change our value systems around food, and the importance of the story behind each unique farm.
We also learn about the incredible approach Brian takes to his consulting and farm design process to help farms become more profitable and provide a better way of life for farmers themselves.
Starting from a big picture mission and dialing into the details of farm design, infrastructure, marketing, and more, Brian shows us why farming is so much more than planting seeds in the ground or showing up to the farmer’s market.
