Gardens, Our Tiniest Farms

If you think about it - the garden is the little sibling to the farm. Smaller in scale and generally tended by fewer parents, the garden has much to learn from the farm, especially as farming evolves from long-standing generational farms and methodologies into newer and greener growing practices led by younger, first-generation farmers. Today, we're seeing more and more millennials pick up and move out of cities and onto their very own small farms with a sustainable vision of the future of agriculture.

In this episode, Mango calls up first-generation, millennial farmer Hannah Gongola of H2Grow and learns about what drove her to run a farm focused on regenerative agriculture. Garden coach Jamie Brennan, shares how she started Boise, Idaho’s first and only kitchen garden consultant company Gold Feather Gardens and gives us great tips and insights into how we can all adopt regenerative farming and sustainable growing practices in our own gardens. We’ll also hear from Brooke Burke, TV host, author, fitness guru, founder of the Brooke Burke Body fitness app and avid gardener. Mango and Brooke talk about the importance of organic gardening and the optimism she feels when making more sustainable changes in her garden and home.
