Summary
Two former professionals turned regenerative farmers in Alabama are building a movement—one tomato, one chicken, one goat at a time. Connor and Rebecca Slane run Genesis Gardens, a pesticide-free farm where nature’s helpers—ducks, geese, goats, chickens, and even their cat Doge—do the heavy lifting. They’ve traded corporate careers for soil, sweat, and seasonal rhythms, convinced that local, fresh food should be the norm—not the exception. Their CSA program delivers flavor-packed produce, but also demands patience as customers adjust to the realities of farming. With roots in their grandfathers’ land, they’re raising the next generation of farmers—though the work is grueling, the rewards are soul-deep. They’re not chasing scale; they’re honoring nature’s pace, one harvest at a time. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
