Today, we revisit Eric & Jill of Green Things Farm Collective in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I couldn’t think of a better way to end it than with one of the first farm collectives we spoke with last year…
If you remember, I talked with Jill, Hannah, & Michelle of Mega Beauty Farm—there’s and inside joke there you’re only going to get by going back and listening to that one… also check out Eric & Nate on The No-Till Market Garden Podcast. Go back and listen to them because they’ll give a lot of context to this conversation.
Jill and her partner Nate owned the farm for years before forming the collective January of 2020. We talk about how her feelings of it being their own farm to now including other owners have evolved, how they’re doing meeting their financial goals they set, how they’ve structured their work to make time for communication, & Eric talks about how no-till farming has contributed to the farms success over the last year.
Maybe we’ll make it a tradition to check in with them every season to see how things are going?
