Mid-Scale No-Till, Building a Reliable Workforce, & the Power of Collectives w/ Hannah & Michelle of Green Things Farm Collective

On today’s episode Alex Ball of Old City Acres sits down with Hannah Weber & Michelle Brosius (½ of the management team) from Green Things Farm Collective in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Green Things was interviewed several years ago by farmer Jesse AND farmer Jackson and since then they have radically increased the scale of their no-till production and local food distribution. We discuss how they build and manage their no till beds at scale, train & build up their workforce, distribute all of their produce, and the power of collective work.
