Today, we're joined by Molly Chester, co-founder of Apricot Lane Farms in Moorpark and a leading voice in regenerative agriculture.
In this episode, Molly shares her path from culinary student to farmer and how restoring soil can restore so much more -- our food systems, our health, and our connection to each other.
From cookbook writing to compost, from managing people to nurturing ecosystems, this conversation digs deep into the heart of what it takes to build a farm and more importantly, a movement.
We talk about the impact the farm has on the Conejo Valley community and vice versa, as well as Molly's favorite things to do in Moorpark.
Once you're done listening, make sure to watch your documentary, The Biggest Little Farm. It's a beautiful glimpse into the story behind the soil. Let's dive in.
