Madison Goodman: Food Growing Farmer / Best Baby Daddy / Optimistic Opportunist

madsnacksproduce.com

We are feeding pigs, goats, and horses on a celebrity farm in Utah. 
Another day in the life of this super generous and humble farm kid.  I call him a kid because he’s my son’s age - on the outside - but inside he’s a very old soul.  He’s got all his ducks in a row this one - he’s kind, patient, driven, fucking ecstatic about life, and has beautiful ideals about this amazing world we live in and the community he’s building to support that ideal.

Interview highlights:
+ farming is an honest living
+ profitable farming on 1/8-1/4 acre
+ generational farms are dying
+ the most beautiful place in the country
+ intentionally slowing down
+ living the dream AND just being OK
+ working smarter, not harder, with time management
+ putting both feet and all toes into your dreams
+ how store buying margins kill farmers
+ ZERO pesticides
+ working with nature
+ how every way you’re living should lead to your forever dream
+ NEVER haggle a farmer selling at a farmer’s market
+ worm poop is GOLD
+ food choice is the biggest impact on the environment

A taste:
“CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) - where literally the produce is going right into folks within a 15-mile radius […] Literally our whole business is supported by the community.  Without the community there is no farm."

“We think that buying that nice 4-wheeler or buying that nice car is more important than feeding our families good food.”

Favorite quote:
“I’m living the dream.”
