Podcast: farmers reflect on the benefits of hosting an Open Farm Day
In a new Scene + Herd podcast episode, we chat with Open Farms founder Daniel Eb about the incredible positive feedback received from former farmer hosts and why many return each year to be part of this initiative. B+LNZ encourages you to consider hosting an event as research indicates that firsthand experiences are unmatched in creating understanding among urban communities. Check out the Open Farm website to learn more about hosting an event.
