Hi I just listen to the podcast called the lean farm and it’s wonderful I love the idea I love the concept wanted to thank you for sharing this information to all the listeners and I want to add that I’m a farmer from Puerto Rico. Thanks again 🌱

This podcast has been totally inspirational for me. It took me awhile to realize that the reason there were no new episodes is that Chris is no longer with us, but the nearly 200 episodes he left behind are an impressive body of work. Rest In Peace, and thank you for sparking so many ideas for our farm.

Loved it. Thanks Chris!

Such an incredible resource with so many voices all jammed into very listenable episodes. I love reading the descriptions from older episodes to find farming situations similar to my own.

I’ve listened for years, and Chris is an incredible interviewer and adds his years of experience when appropriate. Simply an incredible resource and probably the best in the realm of market farming.

I just listened to my first episode of this wonderful podcast. Episode 147 with Chris Blanchard and Dylan Strike was an absolute treasure trove of information that answered so many questions that at times have felt unanswerable! Chris and Dylan, you guys are badasses!

This show is so helpful to connect us farmers with others in our field. I listen while making CSA deliveries and always learn something! Chris asks good questions and then gives the farmer plenty of space to tell their story.

Love to listen while I’m working in the field! Great interviews with interesting people.

Very practical information, and a great resource for beginning farmers

How are you!!! I used to live in Vermont. Now I’m back in in argentina... I wish we had a podcast like yours here... we need you here... come visit us.

Hands down the best. Farmers from big to small to local to across the country. Chris sets up great interviews and has good audio quality. The “lightening round” is great too.

So informative, nothing like hearing from other farmers. Great interview questions.

Chris is a great interviewer who clearly has a deep understanding of agriculture. He finds compelling stories in simple places and connects his listeners with quality information.

Wonderful. Better than any conference.

This spring I'm starting a market garden with my partner, and along with apprenticing on other farms for the past three years, Farmer to Farmer has been an incredible resource. It's a weekly tour of farms across North America, complete with the nuts and bolts of a farming operation as well as the day to day life of the farmer. I've worked for two farms in the last three years and learned quite a bit, but this podcast has exposed me to ideas and practices that I haven't found in my apprenticeships or in the many farming books I've read. If you're a new or aspiring farmer, this is required listening. Now, if I have one criticism it's how frequently interns/apprentices/farm labor are complained about. I don't let it bother me, but I can imagine how it would be discouraging to some. And aren't we all trying to grow the local food movement? If so, there's no place for this attitude. I understand that farm interns can be flakes, or worse, I get it, but sometimes Chris speaks as though they're some kind of necessary evil in the trade, instead of focusing on encouragement. All in all, though, I love the show and look forward to it every week.

Chris Blanchard is a great interviewer, and listening to this podcast is like visiting all these awesome small farms across the country. I love how Chris gets both into specific details about organic farming tools and methods as well as navigating relationships and keeping emotional balance in farming. Such a great resource for information and inspiration!

We enjoyed listening to Chris Blanchard's podcast immensely! He is excellent at the timing of his insightful questions and draws the listener along with enthusiasm, keeping the whole conversation rolling along smoothly and wisely with a great presence, just the right amount to keep the flow but allowing the farmer to speak his heart! Excellent!

It's hard to put into words how much this podcast has affected our lives. Chris Blanchard provides the listener with the experience of diving into the nitty gritty, innovative, and unique aspects of successful farms across the country. As first generation farmers in the third year of our own operation, my partner and I owe so much to Chris Blanchard and all the farmers on this show for helping shape our farm. I regret that it has taken me so long to write a review because every farmer has something to gain by listening to this podcast. Thank you for all your work on this and your news letter, you have made a huge difference in our lives and I'm certain many others.

Love This podcast. Chris does an excellent job covering a variety of farming topics that really helps to expand my way of thinking about my farm business. I look forward to each episode.

I"m not a farmer, but I love this perspective on the food I eat. Recommended to me by a farmer and I'd recommend it to everyone.

Really enjoyed this most recent podcast with shared legacy farm. I enjoy them all but this one really got at the heart of it all: marketing. look forward to more to come! thanks Chris

Chris does a excellent job finding and interviewing people. I look forward to the podcasts every week. Thank you Chris! Julie

As a beginning farmer this podcast has clarified questions I have had, as well as shed light on realities of running a farm. It has also introduced certain topics that were brand new to me that I have then gone on to research on my own. Overall, this podcast has made me into a fluent speaker in farming and much more confident as a farmer. Thank you!

I really enjoy listening to the podcast! Chris seems to ask all the questions I wouldn't have thought to ask. We hope to start market gardening, and start a u-pick pumpkin patch in 2018 to go with our honey operation. Thank you for your hard work.

Great interviews. Lots of information to glean.

I've listened to well over 30 episodes so far and consistently pick up golden nuggets, resources, and ways of thinking that have been invaluable to my budding farming career. Chris Blanchard is a fantastic interviewer, and each guest brings authenticity, insight, and a unique perspective. As I'm new to farming, Chris has single-handedly exposed me to the sheer breadth and verdant possibilities of what farming can be. If you're a farmer (young or old), give this a listen!

Currently my favorite podcast. I am not a farmer. This podcast provides great insight into the challenges and rewards of running a farm. Thoughtful and passionate guests who are honest about their farming experiences. Blanchard's questions and insights move the conversation forward well.

If you are interested in farming, especially from an organic or sustainable perspective, you will love this podcast. Each episode is unique and packed with tidbits and nuances as you learn about how each spotlighted farmer does things. Chris, the host, has a wealth of experience on his own and has a knack for asking questions and digging deeper on topics so that even a non-farmer will enjoy the topics. I really can't begin to say enough good things about this show. As someone that has recently been bitten by the bug to farm someday, I learn something new in each episode and my passion is fueled more and more. I love this podcast!

This farmcast fills a void and facilitates idea exchange at a pace that farmers can use as they need to. Everything from cultural and practical farming techniques to markting, dicussions of farm/life balance, farming philosophy, community building and the many types of farm models that work, all delivered with an open sense of curiosity and in a way that emboies the spirit of todays farmers. Nicely done.

My wife and I have been interested in the idea of farming for a while now, but never had much exposure to people out in the field. Chris Blanchard's interviews offer really amazing insight into the lives and work methods of successful farmers. I was surprised how much I loved listening to down-to-earth people talking about the kind of life that I've always been drawn to. Congrats to Mr. Blanchard on such an elegant format. THANKS!

This is one of the best podcasts I've ever had the joy of listening to. This podcast contains such a broad amount of knowledge you'll need to listen twice. Thank you Chris for the time and effort you put into this. -Papa's Worm Poo

Awesome resource for farmers. Chris has great guests and they really dig into the nitty gritty of the management decisions farmers make and why they make them. This is the only podcast I've found like this and the quality is high.

I've been farming since 2003 and thought I was doing pretty well, but I've been humbled and inspired by all the guests on this show. I farm in a pretty isolated location at the Oregon coast, and it's been years since I was able to have regular contact with a range of experienced farmers. Listening to the podcast has been an invaluable resource. It's pushed me to think outside my box, take a hard look at a few of our practices and crops, and hopefully will make my farm happier, healthier, and more profitable. Thank you!

This podcast is fun, informative and has quickly become my number one to listen to. Each episode is packed with relevant and detailed information for farmers decades into their career and for those just starting out

My wife and I are going to be starting a farm later this year and have been doing a ton of reading, researching, and taking some classes to prepare. This podcast was recommended to us by multiple farmers we've been talking. Best advice we've received so far. I started at episode 1 two weeks ago and just started 37.

I meant to write a review a long time ago and I have no excuses... I cannot put into words how much I appreciate Chris Blanchard for putting together such an incredible podcast. The hour and a half that Chris spends on each farmer allows him to really dig into the details and I think it makes the podcast that much more valuable. He interviews farmers from across the country and Canada, which illustrates the diversity of farms, farmers, and conditions in which they farm very well. I was lucky that I started farming around the time this podcast went live, I have not missed an episode since. This podcast is what my husband and I look forward to every weekend on our drive to the farmers market!

High quality - from the topics, the guests and professional podcast production. Regular episodes, with engaging and thought provoking conversation. Keep it up in 2017!

This podcast is hands down my personal favorite and is an excellent resource for current and aspiring growers alike. Provides a great snapshot of various business models, challenges, successes, and more that other growers face at their operations. Thanks so much Chris for facilitating the sharing of so many excellent ideas and discussions!

Hello to all the podcast listeners out there! If you are interested in farming and love listening while you harvest, weed or plant this is the show for you. I spent many days this summer listening to Chris interview various farmers around the country while working in the field myself. Along the way I picked up tips on how to tweek the system in which I was working. This podcast is a great resource for growers and farmers of all different crops and scale. I love listening and sharing with others. Thanks Chris for creating this resource for all to share, experince and learn from.

I've been listening to this podcast for over a year. Great interviews and wonderful stories. Always inspiring. Thanks for the great show! Keep it up!

I've learned a lot from this Podcast. I've always wanted to farm full time, but never realized I could maintain a good income doing so. Chris talks to many farmers that are doing this successfully. So, I've started a long term plan to get there, and will be listening to this podcast along the way. Only constructive critisim would be the audio quality of the guests. Some are almost too difficult to hear. Overall Great Podcast! Thank you!

I take away something valuable from each and every podcast I listen to. Chris is an exceptional interviewer who draws something special and unique from each farmer he has on the show. Listening to this podcast has made me a more thoughtful, better farmer. I recommend the Farmer to Farmer podcast to every farmer friend.

This podcast is chock full of invaluable insights, advice and inspiration. I recommend it to anyone who is trying to farm sustainably.

My husband and I have been gearing up to start our own organic farm by the end of next year and this podcast has been invaluable to us! I anticipate the new episodes every week and it's the first thing I listen to on Thursday mornings. Chris does an amazing job with the great questions he asks. I love hearing all the different strategies, challenges and personalities of the guests. It keeps us motivated and has been an excellent resource for us to learn. Thanks for providing such an amazing podcast, Chris!

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. As a new farmer, I appreciate hearing a variety of experiences. It is also refreshing to hear others talk about mistakes they've made in the past. Well done!

The farmer to farmer podcast is one of the best resources I have found as a beginning small farmer. Being able to listen while I work has pulled me through some rather lonely/isolating times when I wonder what the heck am I doing? Many thanks for this podcast, Chris Blanchard, and all the guests he has interviewed. Even the shows I didn't think I would find interesting taught me something awesome.

Chris has knack for asking thoughtful questions and really listening to what his guests have to say. Great insights.

I have found this podcast alone stands out for sharing the most useful, most specific, most applicable information any market farmer would want to learn from another. Chris Blanchard is a uniquely restrained interviewer who asks just the right questions and then lets his guests go on without interrupting them - a very professional approach which is rare in the podcast arena. Above all, the guests are interesting and thoughtful individuals who have great insights and life stories. Excellent on many levels.

Great interviews. Great questions. Full of useful information!

I learned about this podcast when I heard Chris Blanchard speak about cost managment at the Oregon State Univ Small Farms Conference this past winter. He obviously knew a lot about market farming so I hoped his podcast would be helpful. The product has exceeded my expectations. Blanchard uses his farming background to inform his interviewing without ever "big footing" the guests. And the guests! From farming legends to relative newcomers, the breadth and depth of experience is amazing. The resulting podcasts are equal parts inspiration and practical knowledge. I haven't worked my way through the whole back catalog yet but, hey, it's gonna be a long summer.
