From chefs and teachers to cultivators! On this episode of Humboldt County Grown, we chat with Nicole Brown and Mike Vitiello of @LichenLandFarm about their incredible journey from working in schools and restaurants to starting a blueberry farm in Humboldt County.

They share how they’re building a life centered around family, community, and working with the land—not against it. From getting signs from the universe (and local farming legends) to navigating grant writing with a newborn and a toddler, their story is raw, real, and deeply inspiring.

Tune in to hear about balancing parenting with perennial crops, learning through @NCGA.agriculturalprograms Climate Resilient Farmer Training Program, and their vision for a future filled with berry patches, farmer’s markets, and a legacy built on good food.

Listen now at the link in our bio! And remember: supporting local farms is an investment in your health, your community, and the land.
