Since having described the farming methods illustrated in his book, he has continued to improve his operations by leveraging, developing and adapting new strategies for continuous improvement. In this workshop lead with Ariane Desjardins and Natalie Childs, he shares the new tools, tech and techniques he uses on his farm and how they are best integrated in his farming systems.
