Knowing When to Shut Down the Farm
About this episode
Taylor Muglia shares her journey in regenerative agriculture and the emotional challenges of shutting down her farm.
Mary-Charlotte has bronchitis, so this week we will be joined by Kristina Britt , the new podcast host of Regeneration Rising, as she interviews Taylor Muglia , the former host and previous New Agrarian Program manager. (Regeneration Rising is the other Quivira Coalition podcast; you can find it here , or wherever you get your podcasts.) In this heartfelt episode, Taylor shares her unique journey into regenerative agriculture, her experiences running and eventually closing a small farm, and the emotional struggles and triumphs along the way. While we talk a lot about how to get started in regenerative agriculture, it is also important that we talk about the challenges of working in agriculture as well as what it's like to make hard decisions to shut down your operation. We hope this honest conversation highlights the importance of community, resilience, and adaptability.
