Today's episode comes to you from Ely Vermont where we visit with Jake Guest of Killdeer Farm. Like many interviews we start with a tour around the farm where we visit his perfectly rectangular fields in sandy soil where he grows carrots and cilantro and spinach. Jake shares a bit about cover cropping, cultivation, and dealing with oak leaf goosefoot. After that we get out of the 90° heat and sit around the kitchen table to learn a little bit about how he got started farming, and what he recommends for new or young farmers facing today’s farming challenges. Jake has a long history in the Vermont agricultural space, and helped craft the organic movement, and is actively involved in the real organic project, we ran out of time to really discuss all the avenues that his farming life has taken him and I'll have to revisit with him to share more of this interesting history but I hope you enjoy this episode of The Farmer's Share.
