About This Podcast

We're starting a farm! Or at least we're trying to... After 4 years of learning and growing Magda and her partner are ready to farm for good. We're talking no-till, organic, soil-focused, community-building, back-to-the-earth goodness. Some real Solarpunk shit. If you're looking to learn more about farming or just want to see how this goes, join the journey. With in-depth updates as we try to secure land, crop plan and start a farm.
