Having conversations about uncertain times ahead can often leave us feeling fearful or full of despair, but this conversation with Farmer John is one filled with hope.  He shares the truth about the history of farming, where things are now, and what we may see in the future, all while offering us encouragement about what is possible.  No matter where you are in your journey of growing your own food, let this episode inspire you to keep fighting the good fight.
