This Man Said Grow It Yourself: "Farming, Wine & Sea Moss Hustles w/ Simba”

On today’s episode of Backyard Comedy (BYC), we sit down with John “Simba” Copeland, a self-taught local farmer from Greensboro, to talk about what it really means to grow your own food — and your own hustle. We get into how Simba got started farming, making his own wine, crafting homemade hot sauces, and creating foods straight from his garden. He also breaks down selling different flavors of sea moss, the work behind it, and what people don’t see about the process. As always, we mix real conversation with comedy, touching on discipline, patience, creativity, and what it’s like choosing a path that’s far from the norm. This episode is for anyone curious about: Farming and self-sufficiency Turning skills into products Food culture beyond the grocery store Building something with your hands (and learning as you go) Pull up, laugh with us, and learn something along the way 🌱🎙️ MUSIC BY: @ISAINTJAMES
