Ep 8 - Hither & Yon
This week, we are back and excited for this interview!
Mark got to visit our good friend Richard Leask from McLaren Vale who runs Leask Agri and along with his brother Malcolm, Hither & Yon.
Richard discusses their unique vineyard incorporating innovative soil management practices for a more holistic grape growing system. Mimicking this same circular mentality, they also have a storefront "cellar door" that very much is an extension of the farm, families, and grapes behind their label Hither & Yon.
As always, we look for a take-home message...
Richard reminded us of the importance of being self-aware enough to call yourself out when there is potential of a better way of doing things and committing to making the changes required even when change seems unpopular.
UNpopular farmer
Mark Brock, 2019 Canadian Nuffield scholar along with Sandi Brock (Sheepishly Me) discuss topics relevant to agriculture. With guest interviews and kitchen table conversations, it’s their hope to challenge farmers to think outside the box and challenge the status quo.
Where can you listen?
