Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
If you’ve ever dreamed of living on a farm, you’re not alone. But what does it take to move beyond your dream and make it a reality? Two Washingtonians with wildly different paths to farming have written a new handbook for the modern agricultural generation, combining their own stories with everything from a guide to land acquisition to an outline of soil biology. Miraculously, the book is under 300 pages.
Kojo speaks with co-authors Forrest Pritchard and Ellen Polishuk about what it took to start their farms, and what advice they have about Washingtonians who wish to join their ranks.
