The Winter Growers Podcast

Lydia Ryall of Cropthorne Farm on Westham Island in British Columbia, Canada joins Clara Coleman to talk about starting small and growing to 20+ acres, farming collaboratively with family members, managing fertility with cover crops, seasonal workers (like H2A), moveable high-tunnels, CSA, and reducing her own hours to make more time for family.
