Summary: Please welcome Chris Kerston from Chaffin Family Orchards. I asked him to be a guest because I wanted to learn more about what they're doing and I wanted you to hear it, too. Their 300 acres of orchards (olive, citrus and stone fruit) are "mowed" and fertilized by cattle, sheep, and goats who are followed by chickens who debug (natural pest control). Since adopting these methods, they've been able to use 85% less fuel, plus they're building soil fertility and taking higher-quality foods right to the consumer. Chris and I visit about his family, his role as managing partner at Chaffin Family Orchards. We talk about the olive/olive oil industry, what's wrong with conventional olive growers and convention olives... And tons more. Do listen!
