EP. 037 Steven Cornett from Nature's Always Right: Building Relationships through Urban Farming - a podcast by k80jones

Steven Cornett’s passion for farming has boundaries: 5,000 square feet, to be exact.
His second urban farm thrives in Lemon Grove, California, just outside San Diego. When he posted on NextDoor.com to find a location, he received over 20 genuine responses.

“This is something that people
are really into now and want to support and want to see happen,” he says.

And when he’s not tending to his farm, he’s publishing content about growing and gardening on Youtube and Instagram. His farm may be located in California, but that doesn’t mean his mission to
educate stops there.

In this episode we discuss:

How Steven started his first urban farm
- How Steven started his second urban farm
- What methods and equipment he recommends for prepping your farm
- How much it costs to start an urban farm
- How Steven divides his time between farming and creating content
- The best crops for beginners to grow
- Why selling produce is the most difficult (but rewarding) part of farming
- How the app Vinder connects farmers with consumers
- Why he wants people to grow their own food
