Have you heard of Regenerative faming before? It’s all about the soil and farming the way nature intended, which produces soil that is rich in nutrition but also pulls carbon from the earths atmosphere. I’m not a farmer myself, and don’t have a single green thumb, but when I first heard of this kind of farming - it was mind blowing! It makes perfect sense and so to me this is actually pretty exciting stuff! So, I’ve got Daniel Hason here with us today. Daniel grew up in NYC and moved upstate to a get back in touch with nature and enjoy a more rural lifestyle. He was attracted to the local food movement and worked as a farmer for a few years before becoming a realtor. He highlights the importance of communities supporting their local regenerative farmers. Daniel continues to find the intersection of environmentalism and regenerative thinking into his real estate practice.  So if you aren’t too sure about what regenerative farming is, or even if you do, I know you will enjoy today’s episode!
