    Excellent Imformation
    I appreciate the deep dives like the Lettuce growing series with Ray Tyler and the profitable mini farm series with Jodie Roebuck. This is so much better than a quick one session overview with someone! Keep up the good work!
  • umkmowm
    Some great info, but…
    So many episodes have great info, but it seems like every 3-4 minutes is yet another ad for Paper Pot Co. No variation at all, just so sick of the ad Spam! At least find some other sponsors to rotate through, please Diego!

    The Best
    I’ve listened to about a dozen farming, permaculture, and other similar podcasts, and Diego’s Farm Land podcast is by far the best. The episodes are the most pertinent. Diego makes the podcast about the listener, not the the interviewee. And he just keeps going!

    Microgreens in a greenhouse
    Hey Diego, I have thoroughly enjoyed the show. You and your guests have taught me countless lessons and new perspectives. I was thinking while listening to the many reasons not to do microgreens if it would ever be on your radar to do an episode about growing microgreens in a greenhouse. I am in the process of building a small one on my family’s little Golfcourse near Pittsburgh and wonder about all the ins and outs of growing them in a greenhouse. Especially during winter. We are looking to take advantage of the extra space we have with gardens and the like. Curious if that would be a viable topic. Thanks!

    Sooo good!
    I have spent countless hours listening to Diego’s podcast. Despite the vast quantity of material he has put out there, there has been no sacrifice in quality. I love his laidback, conversational style of speaking and interviewing that doesn’t feel rushed, but is also concise and without the fluff. FSFS has helped me with a lot of nuts and bolts stuff, and also helped me think about big picture ideas, challenging me to ask myself tough questions about my future farming journey, etc. a treasure trove of information and questions you never even thought to ask. such good stuff!
  • Halorly
    Great
    Thank you for the life lessons
  • KingsburyGourmetFarms
    Great podcast!
    I love your podcast. Very informative and has opened my eyes to farming tips I otherwise wouldn’t have known. Love hearing about successful farms across the nation! Gives me hope as a new small farmer that I too can be successful.

    More than just Permaculture!
    Diego and his guest have had an incredible influence in my life over the past 6 years, fri wanting to plan my own sustainable farm life to fatherhood to life direction and I am 20 years older than Diego, he is far wiser than his age and I am incredibly greatful for his honest, open and real discussions of more than just Permaculture but about our lives!!! Many blessings for health and prosperity to you and your family Diego - THANK YOU!!!
  • The Frugal NY'er Robbie Rad
    On point.
    Love the work Diego does both in the field and behind the mic. Questions are well thought out conversations are always intriguing. Great show. Thanks for quality content.
  • Drum Oly
    Helpful and Motivating
    I’m not a farmer but love this show. I’m in a urban setting and have a heart for permaculture with a small garden plot and chickens. The amount of knowledge I get from this content is a lot and the interviews are really great. Sound quality is also good.
  • pajero pantano
    Great variety and values shared!
    As the title suggests, this program is full of invaluable great perspectives and experiences and stories. Love it!
  • Draku007
    Thank you
    You opened the permaculture door for me and I want to thank you for that.

    Always listening to D.I.E.G.O
    Diego provides access to absolutely everyone. I'm not sure how I found his podcast but I'm sure glad it's part of my weekly. Permaculture voices was probably my first introduction but now I am eager to listen to all of Diego's podcasts. They're crucial to this cutting edge farming culture. Not only technical info but lifestyle and philosophical for keeping your head on straight and maneuvering the entreprenurial world of small acre farming.

    Cut Flower Farm
    I’m living in a urban neighborhood and want to consider moving where I can have a cut flower farm but want to know the realities of doing such. This podcast has helped and inspired me so much. Thank you! You’ve got a subscriber for life!
  • shockingnew
    Yikes
    I found this podcast because the app recommended it to me (I’m a regular listener of various farming related podcasts) so I decided to give it a try. I started with the episode on farming while parenting and boy, do I regret it. The episode begins with a shocking and graphic description of a farming accident involving a tractor and a 2 year old. I stopped playing a few minutes in and haven’t gone back. Dude, please add a content warning to this episode. Based on the episode description that was NOT what I was expecting to hear.

    You changed my life
    Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
  • Mindseye.1
    Great content
    We’ll put together podcast. A lot of subject matter experts share their knowledge on many different types of farming disciplines.
  • AAspades2016
    What is permaculture?
    While Diego doesn't necessarily aim to tackle this question, this podcast does a great job of articulating what applying permaculture tools and ethics looks like in real life and in an amazing variety of contexts. It's not about downing the current system it's about creating a new one that out competes the status quo. Great work!
  • valleyspiritfarm
    Just keeps getting better
    The latest podcasts with Javan and Rob and the collaboration episode on summer greens strategies comes in stride with what our farm is dealing with and thinking about. Great content, great guests, great interviewer. Thanks for all the hard work, Diego.
  • mina mii
    Best small scale farming and permaculture show.
    Diego manages to bring real pasion to a topic that is often considered very niche. maybe it is just me, I have had my heart race and also been moved to tears listening to permaculture voices. If your financial situation allows, i highly recumend supporting diego to keep this show going. The least we can do is give him a good review. This collection of shows is of amense value to small scale growers and I.
  • Dawnbreaker Farms
    Informative and well produced
    I love everything coming from this podcast. It's been a huge benefit to my perspective and my business!
  • EddieMunster11
    So much content
    This show is a treasure trove for those seeking to grow in life. I've gained enormously on subjects ranging from animal husbandry to growing just about EVERYTHING. The one issue that Diego needs to address is catagorizing or organizing the vast amount of information he's gathered from his shows and guests. Wouldn't want that undertaking myself..ha He's impacting listeners and they in turn are impacting the world.
  • Pitchfork Farms
    Great Stuff
    This has been very informative and inspiring work from Diego. Started listening this year and have been motived to getting out and doing the work! Keep it up man.
  • Andrew Welleford
    Pragmatic permaculture
    With his relentless stream of content, Diego and his guests deliver practical information about implementing permaculture into profitable agriculture and our daily life. Listen in to learn from leaders in the world of urban farming, sustainable ag, regenerative farming, and permaculture.
  • Morgs112
    So great!!
    Diego is awesome and brings in such relevant information and guests to interview!! The topics of conversation are entirely dynamic and super honest. He has a way of sharing tough ideas in a way that communicates honest challenges in a way that inspires empowerment, not fear. So so needed in our culture!! Thanks Diego!!!
  • robohym
    Interviews are great, monologues no so much.
    Diego does great in his interviews by getting relevant guests and asking great questions. A lot of good content comes from the interview episodes and I find myself always taking notes. On the other hand, when the episode is just Diego himself doing a type of monologue I am unable to listen. His tone of voice and inflection during his solo podcasts is much different from when he is interviewing. It reminds me a lot like Dan Carlin's way of talking in his podcast Hardcore History, which I love, but when Diego does it I find it unbearable and can't listen. But again, the interview episodes and great and of high value so I still highly recommend his podcast for anyone interested in small scale farming.
  • Snowwmman
    Awesome
    Thanks for all the great advice
  • Art and Bri
    So Much Goodness!
    Thanks Diego (and Curtis) for all the great business and inspirational ag insight!
  • Peter Daub
    Love it!
    Diego, I've been listening for a year now and I love what you've done. It's clear how much work you've put into this and I've learned so much from it. Really, thank you!!
  • D annonymus
    No matter your vocation this show is applicable and great.
    You can make positive deposits in your own economy every day by reading and listening to powerful, positive, life-changing content and by associating with encouraging and hope-building people. Zig Ziglar
  • Effilcdar123456
    Horrible host.
    The show has good subject matter on occasion but the vast majority of the content is verbal diarrhea from the shows dim witted host. The bulk of the podcasts are more likely to be about how sleepy the host Diego is as he whines about how hard his life is. Skip this and find another podcast on the subject of permaculture because this usually isn't. If you must listen to it then skip to interview episodes, or really to where anyone but the host is talking.
  • J2 brew
    Worth it with this little hack
    Great info! Amazing guests. All I will say is, change you playback speed to 1.5 - trust me, its more enjoyable and you can listen to more podcasts
  • Eddy Gilmore
    Absolutely the best
    This content has changed my life, and continues to do so. I look forward to these shows every day, and wish I could have been exposed to information and inspiration like this 20 years ago. Oh well, at least we still have right now to start being the change we want to see.
  • BCB18
    FIVE STARS FOR SURE
    Great podcast! Interviews are expertly done with info for all levels of farming experience.
  • Grateful for the info
    Beyond Permaculture
    Excellent podcast...thought provoking content...can't wait for GrassFedLife each week!!!
  • Papa Pete 2012
    Great content
    Diego had done an awesome job looking into permaculture and real world applications. From growing greens to rasing broiler chickens, you can learn a lot from the people who are successful at it right now. Awesome work. Just wish I had more time in the day to listen and absorb it all.
  • Farmer Elisabeth
    Best Farming Podcast Period!
    This is by far the best podcast on small scale farming. The production quality is amazing and Diego always asks the questions that I want to ask. The guest list is the who's who of the sustainable ag world. If you are a farmer, or want to one day farm, this is the best investment of time you could make.
  • stemy
    This is one of my favorite podcasts!
    Great pace of new shows and a good variety of speakers keeps things interesting.
  • Hoyagreatstuff
    Great PodCast!
    This podcast covers everything it might not all apply to what you are looking for but the stuff that does is excellent!
  • Asheville LandMan
    Invaluable
    This is the most well rounded podcast on all things agriculture I have listened to with a regenerative/sustainable slant. There are many specific “how to do” episodes related to permaculture/agriculture/farming, but the most valuable is the business information. Business is not always the sexiest information, but it is the most important content to consider with farming as a doable career. The podcast is both real world (realistic) and inspirational. Countless episodes have gotten me into the right frame of mind to plan properly and ensure I give my family and I the best chance to make a real go of this with minimal failure. Thank you Diego for thinking of the ecological future of this world and posting content that makes a difference.

    Permaculture Voices
    Love this podcast! Such helpful insightful information
  • Epicbynaturefarmer
    Inspiring
    I have been listening to Permaculture Voices for going on 3 years now. Diego does a fantastic job producing top quality original content. This is my go to podcast for high quality information about starting your own business, finding ways to use permaculture more in your life, and being inspired to make a change in your life. I'm 16 now and listening to The Urban Farmer with Curtis Stone has inspired me to start my own permaculture based business selling microgreens and salad greens. I'd highly recommend this podcast to anyone.

    I have been listening to Diego since the beginning. Should of written this review a long time ago. You are doing a great job! Keep up the good work and don't stop!

    Essential Podcast for Farmers
    As a young farmer, I find this podcast to be an essential series of lessons, conversations, recommendations, and topics that I apply to daily and seasonal use. He puts out so many episodes, and quality episodes at that, that I found myself even supporting this podcast financially because they became educational and valuable components in my career. I hope you enjoy them as well.
  • CMesseMom
    ALWAYS INFORMATIVE!
    I ALWAYS learn something from Diego and/or his guests, whether its something related directly to farming/permaculture, having a family, or running a business. He’s super consistent in providing new material, so you’ll always have something to listen to - and not just a bunch of airtime jabber! Thanks, Diego!!
  • Joe Green Garden Acres
    The Gold Standard of Permaculture Podcasts
    Divergent and ever evolving group of guests and topics! Great questions and pushing for brass tacks kinds of answers! Keep up the great work Diego!
  • kohleoeo
    Great Info
    Diego is the man! Great info for anyone interested in entreprenuership, farming, or pursuing their passion!
  • Robb Williams- Alabama
    My favorite podcast!
    Without a doubt my favorite podcast. One of those I can't wait until the next release. I have found several of my other podcast favorites through this one. As a beginning livestock farmer with a full time job and family, I certainly have identified with the series on Darby Simpson, Grassfed Life. Though not a vegetable farmer, I hang on every word of Curtis Stone because so much is applicable throughout business. So far the most relevant podcast on how I identify with the food movement and permaculture. Thanks!
  • Kellyware
    Simply the BEST!
    I am so grateful for your work Diego. Every time I get a new podcast from PV its like candy or a new Christmas present. I can't thank you enough. You and your interviewies are helping me to become a consultant to others. Furthering my purpose in life as to doing it myself and offering that product (tangeable and intangeable) to others. Thank you for all the added interviews this year. It takes a lot of info to start a major life move and you are handing it over to us on a silver platter! Gracias!
