About this episode
This episode comes to you from South Royalton Vermont Where we visit with Geo Honigford of Hurricane Flats Farm. He’s grown mixed vegetables, popcorn, and hay for 26 years. He also made the decision to sell his farm just a few years ago and pursue a different career path. I thought this was unique and wanted to chat with him about this decision to sell and pivot to a new chapter in life.
We start off by learning his background and experience at the top of the episode. Then we spend a significant part of the conversation talking about popcorn as Hurricane Flats Farm is the only farm I know growing that crop in Vermont and I’ve experimented with growing it myself and curious what it takes to grow it beyond the hand scale experimenting. We wrap up the end of the episode with additional tips and take a way's reflecting on farming as a career. I really enjoyed this conversation and hope you do to.
