This is a weekly livestream hosted by me, Ben Hawley, and my fellow intern Isaac Tappenden. We are the interns here at Green Pastures Farm, home of the legendary Greg Judy. Every Sunday night on Instagram (@onthegraze) we sit down at the kitchen table and discuss things related and unrelated to regenerative agriculture. Join us for some quality chat, stories, laughs, and good times on this crazy regenerative journey.
