“Ethan has the ability to inject his enthusiasm and excitment directly into his audience through his podcast. Most of the episodes are old now, but still motivational and inspirational to listen to. I hang on in hope of just one more episode. A job well done Ethan, I hope you're proud of what...”Read full review »

“I'm at the VERY beginning stages of seriously considering starting a farm and this podcast makes my dream seem so much more realistic.

Although my farm is somewhat different (grassfed dairy), I find Ethan's insights, ideas, and "lessons learned " helpful and inspirational. I especially like how he...”Read full review »

“Ethan's enthusiasm is contagious! I'm not a farmer now but am working towards that goal. I love learning about what works and what doesn't. Ethan's portrayal is refreshing - showing both the ups and downs of farm life, but showing that it is indeed possible to start a farm from scratch!”
