#102: Benjamin: The Roots Farmer

from Edible Activist Hosted by Melissa L. Jones

We welcome our very first international guest to the show, Benjamin aka The Roots Farmer, based in London. In this episode, Ben unfolds his journey, taking us from his long-life career in music to starting an off-the-grid farm right outside of London. Agrarian life had been whispering to Ben for some time, and when the pandemic hit, he found refuge and peace on the 2.5 acres that he currently farms with the help of his two sons. Learn how Ben was able to attain the acres through a unique opportunity made available to residents in the UK, his vision for collective land ownership, and the plans he has to offer his community organic, farm-fresh food. Tap in! Sponsored by Hello Fresh.
