They take us inside one of the most biodiverse farms in the Midwest to explore how founder Jere Gettle built a seed empire, why Y2K supercharged the heirloom movement, and what it takes to trial 1,300+ rare plant varieties. Plus, get practical, stress-free advice on soil health, seed saving, and picking the right crops for your garden! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
