Hobby Farms Presents: Growing Good

25

Hobby Farms Presents: Growing Good is a podcast with and about hobby farmers, small-scale farmers and sustainable farmers. More than that, it’s about the important work these folks are doing for themselves, their families and their communities on and off the farm. Each episode, host Lisa Munniksma sits down to chat with someone doing the good work to discuss how they started, what they're doing now, and what drives them to keep growing. (A presentation of Hobby Farms® magazine, an EG Media company.)

    Solid gardening podcast
    I really enjoy the topics covered, I feel like I learn about the nuts and bolts of gardening as well as greater gardening culture (food justice, etc). Really smart and accessible. Five stars!

    New perspectives with a dose of hope
    I am finding that this podcast has me looking at the food on my plate and the plants in my yard in new ways. The variety of guests doing interesting and important work provides much needed hope in a world dominated by corporate farms. It also has me thinking about ways I may want to get more involved in my community to support sustainable and healthy farming and gardening.

    So Fresh and so Green
    It’s refreshing to hear a woman’s voice from the farming world. Thanks for bringing more to this space than simply on growing/raising food. I’m inspired by the above-and-beyond work of your guests in growing a better world, as well. Looking forward to hearing more!

    Inspired
    It’s so fun to hear what other farmers around the county are doing. I love that this podcast exists and I’m so excited to keep hearing from farmers like me, to learn and continue to be inspired, and also feel connected to what others are doing.
