Lessons in Winter Farming + Certifying Naturally Grown + Work Life Balance w/ Broadfork Farm  @notillgrowers
Uploaded March 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
Welcome to episode 353 of Growers Daily!

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. We are also gonna be talking about how and why they certify as Certified Naturally Grown, and how that label has worked for them.
