It’s incredibly hard for young first-generation farmers to enter the Agricultural Industry – in this episode, I talk to 20 somethings Mike and Lauren Layfield whose story about entering farming will inspire you and provide you with some tips and tricks for growing your own food at home. It also gives you an idea of options for young people who do want to be the future of farming. This interview was recorded in early spring 2019, just as the temperatures were warming up and the busy season was upon us. Mike and Lauren have had a fantastic season, despite the wind and cool temperatures, and are now regular stallholders at Launceston’s Saturday morning farmers’ market.
