  • Small-Plot Intensive Vegetable Production (SPIN Farming)
    Wally Satzewich joins us from Saskatchewan to tell us about Small-Plot Intensive Farming (SPIN Farming.) Having studied psychology and ran a taxi franchise, Wally became interested in market gardening. So he bought a farm. But a conventional market garden wasn’t the right fit for him. That’s because a big operation requires hired help and capital outlay for equipment. So Wally and his wife Gail sold the farm—and moved back to the city. To farm—to farm other people’s yards.And in the process, Wally mapped out a system of best practices called SPIN farming (Small Plot Intensive farming.)Today he tells us his journey, and what he’s learned along the way.We talk about: Running the 20-acre market garden Downsizing and setting up in the city The SPIN model and variations on it Comparing SPIN farming to commodity farming Using the SPIN model in small towns Top tips for new urban and SPIN farmers
