Garrett Miller has an unconventional path into agriculture, starting his farm at 22 and growing it into an extremely diverse enterprise since then. From cider production and a cider house, to strawberries and agrotourism, we were extremely interested in asking him questions about how he manages his business. Diversity is an inherent part of agroforestry systems, so understanding how farms manage a variety of productions is key. We then zoom in on how he integrates turkeys and apple trees, analysing the various benefits he has observed, such as reduced insect problems, better leaf decomposition and reduced weed pressure. Garrett is very satisfied with his silvopastural system, so tune in to find out why! • TABLE OF CONTENTS 01:45 Intro to the Good Life Farm: story, context, production  17:05 Selling diversity  23:50 Direct selling and U-pick  33:45 Transformation as a sales strategy  39:05 Integrating turkeys in the orchard: understanding the system  51:10 Impact of turkeys on leaf decomposition and weed pressure  60:20 Turkeys’ impact on pest and diseases  01:05:20 Turkey’s impact on orchard management costs  01:07:10 Turkey scratching  01:11:20 Challenges integrating turkeys  01:14:45 Scaling the system  • RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/flxciderhouse/ http://www.fingerlakesciderhouse.com/ • GET IN TOUCH www.regenerativeagroforestry.org • SUPPORT US www.gumroad.com/regenagroforestry • FOLLOW US on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
