The Going to Seed Podcast

Joseph and Holly reminisce and discuss plans for the year ahead.

This episode features traditional farmer Yevgenii Berben-Zycki, managing his farm with his family in the middle of an active war zone in Ukraine. He outlines his family's work selectively breeding hazelnuts over the last four generations, and how they are reconnecting with historic farming techniques.
