When chatting with Meg about their background, there seemed to be an initial resistance to farming and becoming a farmer. However, the pull to being outside every March was too hard to resist. And the pull to developing a business that provided access to healthy food was also too much to resist. Hence, although there were some tw...

And we would assume that those support systems would be available. Well that is not always the case. However, in some areas, that is defin...

So when I say my conversation was deeply insightful that is probably an understatement. When I noticed in Richard’s bio that he worked with the...
