What do you call a dirt nerd? Our favorite kind of person! Ok, they are technically called “agronomists” but we love them because their passion is healthy soil. We dug deep into the dirt at the new farm this past week with Doug from the Spurt Industries Thrive Agronomy Program. Doug dug, touched, smelled and tasted (yes tasted!) our soil all over the farm to help us understand the various types of soil and the existing biology. Once he tests it at the lab, we’ll discuss ways to maintain and improve the health of the soil as we start farming it (which makes for healthy animals and nutritious food!). Doug’s passion for all things dirt was so inspiring and he had so many great suggestions. An agronomist is a valuable partner for organic farmers like ourselves who are looking to farm in ways that nurture health in the plants, the animals and the soil - and ultimately in us!
