Quotes from the episode:
“Looking through just 1 lens (biodynamic, organic, etc) is myopic, and today’s farmers need to play with a full deck of cards”
“Surround yourself with those a little further down the road than yourself, a community”
“Know yourself better so that you can work with yourself”
“Make your farming year boring to the point that you can focus on building the systems into every area of our operation”
“Be excited about feedback, whether from other farmers or from your customers, its free advice!”
“Your network of customers is your greatest allies in building your business, so often, they are experts in so many areas that you need help in”
