He and his wife have three chil­dren and have been man­ag­ing organic veg­etable farms for the past 14 years in New Mex­ico, Wis­con­sin, and Wash­ing­ton State. Sebastian’s pas­sions for top-quality pro­duce, healthy soils, bio­dy­nam­ics and social out­reach guide his farm­ing prac­tices. Sebas­t­ian has hosted appren­tices on his farms since 1999 and always pro­vided them a weekly class explor­ing the con­cepts behind the prac­ti­cal work.

This program has been brought to you by Hearst Ranch. “How can we get organic seeds back to the point where they are a competitor for conventional hybrid seeds?” “I feel like there has been a lack of communication between farmers… we need to rekindle that and help each other out and not see each other as competition.” — Sebastian Aguilar on Greenhorn Radio See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
