It’s simpler than you might think, fully traceable, and 100% verified.Through our film and now this podcast, we’re starting conversations, building community, and sharing the healing power of regenerative agriculture. We’d love for you to be part of it.So… who is Richard Tufton?We’re thrilled to introduce Richard Tufton as the host of the Six Inches of Soil Podcast.
