Of course, context is important - but where should the center of the bell curve lay?

What does running a small farm really look like from a business perspective? How much money can you make, how much work is it, and what does your lifestyle look like? This episode was inspired by an Instagram post put up by Taylor Mendell who talks to us about answering these questions.
Taylor runs a small roughly one-acre farm in Vermont with her husband, selling through a CSA and farmers' markets.

Is no-till farming actually worth it?
Is the amount of compost required worth the investment, and do the results actually stack up in comparison to tilling?
At the end of the day, where does no-till fit within the market-gardening realm?
In this episode, we put these questions to Jesse Frost of the No-Till podcast and Rough Draft Farmstead.

Today I will be sharing some of what I learned as Javan and I each go through our top 5 lessons from 2019. In total 10 simple ways of looking at life, approaching life, and thinking about life that can change your life tomorrow. I look at a lot of these lessons as base principles in an approach to life that very much contradicts the status quo. None of these lessons require any money or technology to implement. There are no tools or techniques here. It's simply changing your approach.
