In this episode, we dive into an inspiring conversation with Dave Hartshorn, an organic farmer who shares his extraordinary journey from a conventional dairy farming background to creating a thriving, diversified organic farm.

Dave recounts how a chance encounter with pumpkin seeds sparked a transformation, leading him to transition from his family’s dairy operation to growing fruits and vegetables.

He takes us through the evolution of his farm, from building a bustling farm stand and helping launch a local farmers' market to experiencing the power of community support during the aftermath of tropical storm Irene.

Along the way, Dave opens up about the challenges and rewards of organic farming, sharing insights on sustainable practices, the importance of soil health, and his move away from synthetic chemicals toward natural, biological solutions.
