My ArundelBiz Podcast Featuring Wild Kid Acres

Listen Later

With the fall harvest season in full swing we're excited to feature one of the hundreds of farms in Anne Arundel County: Wild Kid Acres.


We sat down with Gerardo Martinez, owner of the five-acre agricultural enrichment and education center, to discuss:

  • How a trip to Cameroon inspired a United States Naval Academy graduate and corporate leadership business founder who, notably, happened to grow up on a flower farm but hate farming, decide to start a farm in Edgewater.
  • The wide variety of animals, many of them "donated without consent," that call Wild Kid home - and what purposes they serve, from food to therapy.
  • The importance of the farm's multiple revenue streams, including production and agritourism, and of running it as a business.
  • Why he's so excited about Wild Kid's brand new 100% volunteer-built barn, which not only provides a home for horses but will also help underrepresented farmers access the market.
  • Why he believes that “Farming is the only truly fully redemptive profession in the entire world" - and how he plans to help create more farmers in the future.
  • Plus MUCH more!


    • So tune in for an episode that's not only inspirational but, YES, filled with footage of PLENTY of cute farm animals!
