My Saffron Story for the Australian Farmers Podcast
A few weeks ago I had the chance to sit down and talk to Angie Asimus for the National Farmers Federation podcast. Their aim is to share stories from the farm and connect consumers to the humans behind the produce they buy, which is especially important with lettuces at $13 each and the other pressures we're all facing.
Just to set the seen, the day was rainy and drab, threatening snow...again, so we were in town in the commerical kitchen packing out olives. I, of course, failed to turn the power switch on for my laptop charger, so between lack of internet and lack of power, the interview was a little hap hazard, but I don't think you can tell.
Angie asks some great questions about how I got into farming and specifically why saffron, what are the big challenges I face and how my engineering career helps solve them.
Have a listen, I think I ramble a bit, but hopefully I'm sufficiently entertaining to keep you listening.
I'd love to hear you thoughts.
