#2: Young Farmer, Passionate Follower of Jesus, Interview with Blake Carlson

The Redeeming the Dirt Podcast

Show Notes:
With an aging farming population worldwide it can be challenging to look ahead to the future of agriculture. But God is raising up some young Christians and calling them to start farms and steward his land. Blake Carlson, age 21, is one of these young farmers. He is the founder of Deep Root Acres in Iowa where he seeks to honor God through the production of nutrient dense food. In this episode we discuss his passion for God, his multi-generational spiritual and agricultural heritage, land preparation for his new farm, and gospel-sharing opportunities.
