Manage episode 466326573 series 2868164
Today’s episode comes to you from Shaftsbury Vermont where we visit with Andrew Knafel of Clear Brook Farm. As he just farmed for the 30th season we reflect on how they grows on about 30 acres and in 11 greenhouses. He markets mixed vegetables and bedding plants mostly all sold from his retail farmstand. We start off the episode with a look inside a couple of his high tunnels, talk about a large cooler build, and then hang out in the display greenhouse during the December rain to reflect on how he got started, and learn what sustainable farming means to him through the lens of his farming career.
