Suburban Farming | Josh Sattin - Sattin Hill Farm

The Intellectual Agrarian: Philosophy From The Farm

Our guest today is Josh Sattin from Sattin Hill Farm from Raleigh North Carolina. Together we’ll be discussing the differences and challenges of suburban farming, how Josh became a farmer after teaching and brewing, why he gave up his ducks, and much more.

Shownotes:

• Before going into agriculture, Josh was a teacher and professional brewer.
• Josh is raising Produce on an eighth of an acre.
• The brewery background gave Josh an organized mindset and skill for multitasking.
• Unlike Chickens, the female ducks are louder than the males which prompted the need for Josh to forgo the laying ducks on the operation.
• Homework, watch the Andy Griffith Show.
• Josh’s raising high rotation salad greens and pastured egg layers.
• In starting up the homestead, Josh has been conscientious about not scaling up too quickly adding too many products too soon.
