This week on Greenhorns Radio Sev speaks with Jarrett Man of Stone Soup Farm in Belchertown, MA‎. Jarret speaks on the hurdles of working with volunteers--separating the dedicated vikings of the earth from the lackadaisical volunteers who disappear after the first bead of sweat. He and Sev praise The Small Farm Institute, an organization responsible for starting the farming career of Man and many, many others. Man also speaks on learning about farming; his school-born, formal, explicit education versus his on-sight, subtle, experiential wisdom. This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch.
