Are you a millennial? Cause I talk about rockstar millennials all the time. I have this funny story to tell you I have this book I wrote called the https://www.facebook.com/jackiemariebeyer/videos/1696474933905485/ (Green Queen) and I feel like you are the Green King. I was reading your list of water saving tips and I feel like you and I are a lot a like. The reason I came up with the Green King idea is because I was showing the book to my friends in NY and they were like that’s our son the Green King and I feel like you really are the Green King! Not quite a millennial, more of an X… some of their things like the tech part. What do you mean your videos are awesome! Your music and stuff I love them! But I didn’t do those, a good friend. I’m sure you’ve heard the millennials have killed golf and kleenex and cereal and I like those things. I like cereal. I’m sure there’s some slacker millennials but not the ones I talk to. They’re just driven honest. IDK too many millennial slackers. I just attended a farming conference, where there’s ton of Millennial farmers! The Executive Director of the Sustainable Ag Institute was talking about how there are 250 million farmers in the world and about 2 million of them live in the US And of US farmers in PA in the young farmers which is under 30 years old 60% are women! Not just backyard slowly shifting statistics about farmers and how things are changing grand acreage is not even close sustainable farming I think that is encouraging. I’ve been reading a lot of statistics lately that a small 1 acre farm produces more food per acre then conventional farms. I mean it’s gonna be a ton of work and take a lot of energy. I think my listeners are those type of people they have more experience then me more like my husband full time gardeners. I call them green future growers . https://www.ecowatch.com/organic-farming-per-acre-2076239213.html (Organic Farms) Welcome to the Organic Gardener Podcast today!
