Christopher Herrera of Deep Roots Farm on Savoring Sonoma: The Hour (Aired: December 24, 2023)

herrera picChristopher Herrera is a seventh generation Sonoma County farmer who learned a great deal of what he knows about farming, not from his parents but from YouTube! What he learned and the methods he employs are both completely modern and extremely ancient. The amount he and his brother Andrew, with the help of family and friends, has accomplished on the new property they’re working since February of this year is significant. Their Deep Roots Farm is by the side of our County’s third busiest road, where folks can see it and find it and come shop and support it. This modern model of next generation family farming, so crucial to our future, is the center of this conversation with host Clark Wolf.
