e.51: Building a Farm Cooperative to Thrive
Friend of the show and past guest Dan Brisebois is back to share his insights about http://www.fermetournesol.qc.ca/en/ (Tourne-Sol Co-Operative Farm) in Quebec. Dan was a founding member and, with his colleagues, has built a thriving farm using careful planning, great communication, and lots of hard work. Dan explains how it all started, what the farm produces, and how the farm makes decisions. He also talks about some of the benefits he has enjoyed under this model, chief among them being a great work-life balance. Dan blogs about https://goingtoseed.wordpress.com/ (seed production here.) The book he co-wrote on crop planning, a great one,http://cog-shop.myshopify.com/ ( is here.)
