The Urban Farm Podcast with Greg Peterson

Stewarding future crops through considerate cultivation and harvesting of seeds.

He helps break down some seed terminology for us and discusses the importance of true breeding in seeds.

Luke was raised in a small town, then moved to Seattle where he worked doing computer graphics design. After many years there, he realized something was missing from the daily grind and went on a series of vision quests where realized that he needed to work with the land, the water, the animals and the food.
