To grow, you have to be willing to be a student of the game and I am so grateful to VRM for welcoming us to the VRM family. Spent time with Sarah Snyder who are also part of the VRM Biologik family and making inputs for American farmers using the same process and technology we are bringing to the Gambia in Pennsylvania. The science behind VRM speaks for itself and so glad so many farmers are realizing the importance of transitioning from chemical fertilizers to biological inputs. One of the biggest challenges with making that transition is that farmers are often asked to sacrifice yield initially or take on higher costs. Most farmers simply can’t afford to do that. What makes this technology so different is that farmers don’t have to choose between productivity, affordability and healthier soils. They can have all three. My greatest gifts has been learning from people who have already walked this path. Hearing about their journey, their challenges, what worked, what didn’t and the lessons they have learned is invaluable as we begin our own. There is no substitute for learning from experience. So grateful to Sarah and Jeff for hosting me and being so open. Your kindness, openness and honesty has motivated me in ways I can’t fully explain. Thank you. And Aidan, you already know. Thank you Habibi. My life would be very uninteresting without you and Cole Leighton Burston. I love and appreciate you guys so much and so grateful to not only be in business with you but knowing that you are one of my favorite humans and to have you as a friend. Thank you for everything you do to make our world better. I feel very fortunate and I don’t take this opportunity for granted. The future of farming is regenerative and we are leading it and yes I will always need Chanel booths for the farm and all of you will continue funding my addiction. Sorry. 😅
