Meet my friend who runs a thriving herb farm | Farmer Interview | Hands on Plants ep. 1

What’s it really like to run an herb farm? 🌿 In this video, I visit Ben, the herbalist-farmer behind Root Digger Farm in Olympia, Washington. As he prepares his monthly CSA boxes full of fresh medicinal herbs, we chat about his journey into farming, what keeps him inspired, and the deeper mission behind his work. We cover: – Why Ben started farming herbs – What his herbal and farming education looked like – The realities and challenges of small-scale herb farming – Mulching, soil care, and habitat stewardship (yes, even pocket gophers!) – The vision he holds for a stronger, more connected medicinal herb grower community – What a CSA is, and why he chose it as the model for his business Whether you’re an herbalist, aspiring grower, or simply curious about what it takes to grow herbs for a living, this conversation will nourish and inspire. 👉 Learn more about Root Digger Farm and sign up for his CSA: https://rootdiggerherbfarm.com/?srslt... ✨ Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe if you want more videos like this!
