08. Growing a Tiny Farm with David Berning
On today’s episode, we’re joined by David Berning. David runs the Cardiff Tiny Farm, located in his hometown in Encinitas, CA.
In this conversation, we explore the concept of being in a reciprocal relationship with a piece of land, and the mindset shifts that help us avoid exploiting land for profit. We talk about the importance of community building as an investment into our future and the future of the planet. We also discuss his new company, RootSeller, which is an online platform that helps users easily discover local food in their community.

The story of how David went from serving as a volunteer at the Tiny Farm to taking on a lead role
Navigating the complexities of growing a community farm
Being of service in the context of farming, and how to stay true to that mission
