In this episode, I talk to Steven Cornett, from Nature’s Always
Right, a regenerative urban farmer in Lemon Grove, San Diego. Eight
years ago, Steven and his friend, Jared, started a farm together
with no experience. After leaving the US and a year-and-a-half
stint in South Korea, he realized that he missed his
passion…farming! He came back to the states and worked with Jared
again but soon decided to start his own farm. He’s been working
diligently to scale his farm and is now moving it across the
country to TN.
In This Episode:
>> How Steven uses Korean natural farming principles for
organic farming
>> What’s involved in moving his farm across the country
>> How Steven prioritizes what he needs to do as a mostly
one-man-show
>> How starting his own farm created unique challenges for
him
>> How Steven found land in urban San Diego and partly uses
the barter system to use additional land
>> What he’s looking for in finding property in Chattanooga,
TN for his new farm
>> What systems he currently uses and plans on implementing
on his new farm
>> Steven’s advice to new farmers
>> What he would go back and tell himself as a new farmer if
he could go back in time
>> What compelling pest elimination techniques he uses
About the Guest:
Steven Cornett's goal is to teach as many people as he can about
regenerative farming techniques and how they can grow healthy food
for their family and even make money as a small scale farmer. He
combines a myriad of regenerative farming and no-till methods that
focus on creating the healthiest soil, plants, and animals
possible. His main teaching content can be found on his Youtube
channel and website (linked below).
