We cover: we are chatting with Dan Gangon of Broadfork Farm in Virginia. I saw Dan and his partner Janet speak at the VABF conference a few years back and I just loved how down to earth they were about the ups and downs of winter farming, farming in general, and work life balance, which is a lot of what we chat about today.
