    What’s up with Darby?
    Diego produces excellent podcasts! His work on this podcast is superb. I do not understand why Darby is the go to expert and find him pretty obnoxious pretending to be the end all be all voice on the subject. To each their own though. Keep up the great work Diego you work tirelessly to bring us so much information and build your businesses.

    Lots of practical, realistic, informative content
    Need help turning your homestead into a business, a farmstead? This podcast has TONS of information from people that have been “doing the work”, and are generous enough to share what has worked, and what hasn’t worked for them.

    What a wonderful resource for any farmer!
    Darby and Diego have been an instrumental resource to me in starting my farming business. They are well heeled in the process and have an incredible depth of experience to draw on when it comes time to address the big questions. This podcast and their online course have been of great value to me.

    Great podcast! Listening to this team over the past half year or so has greatly increased my knowledge and desire to incorporate livestock into my farm. Great production value, too and just an absolute gem of a podcast.

    My favorite Podcast
    The one podcast I listen to as soon as it is available. Makes my Monday morning commute to the off farm job so much better! So much info for those starting to farm pastured livestock. I have listened to some episodes a few times to be sure I caught everything. A must if you are farming or if you just want to know how small scale integrity meat is produced.

    Great Podcast!
    This program has been extremely beneficial in the startup of our farm. It has given us many things to consider, loads of inspiration, and a sense of community. We also did a workshop with Darby and Diego that was informative and confidence building. Going through the workshop contributed to getting the ball rolling. We highly recommend all of Diego’s podcasts!

    Spot on!
    Another great podcast series by Diego Footer. Great thing about this (and his other series) is the nitty gritty on both the business and field applications of small scale, regenerative ethic pasture farming.
  • Saqlunch
    A lot of info
    Great source of info from farmers working hard to bring the best food to market.
  • Jolted Jak
    Very helpful
    Diego has developed in a great interviewer, and Darby Simpson has been raising animals long enough to have some great advice for those starting out like myself. Darby is also willing to listen to others. The mini-series that showed the decision process of adding sheep to his farm was terrific. Thank you, Diego for the time you've invested in the many interviews, and thank you to Darby for another excellent season with excellent advice.
  • Bill K.2000
    Great resource for all things grass fed!
    I've been listening to this podcast since it's origin. I highly recommend it if you raise livestock or are thinking of doing so. We live on a homestead and raise a lot our own food. Darby and Diego make a great team when it comes to teaching this topic. Subscribe and listen it's worth your time. Bill at Kennedy's Country Farm

    Best podcast for new farmers
    Diego and Darby do a great job explaining the ins and outs of being a sustainable farm or farmstead. Tons of great info. I listen every Monday.
  • Saltydog75
    GFL is on point!!
    I may seem a little bias but, I have met Diego and have been a participant in the workshop he and Darby Simpson put on in Indiana and I can say the information given here is 100% genuine. I for one can attest to the passion of Diego and Darby in the arena of regenerative agricultural and passion for helping other succeed in their own ventures.
