Welcome to Episode 15 with Randal Breen from Echo Valley Farm in Goomburra, Queensland. Regenerative agriculture, stacked integrated farming models and agroeocology are the Breen family’s core values - if you’re not sure what these are, just take a listen of this episode! Randal is a very passionate, down-to-earth guy who is working hard with his wife, Juanita, to regenerate their land and provide their local community with high quality food following a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model. Echo Valley Farm follow “The Four Goods” - every action they take must be:

1. Good for the Animals
2. Good for the Land
3. Good for the Farmer
4. Good for You

This is our very first phone interview and was loads of fun, we hope you enjoy!
