Episode #258
Eliot Coleman on the Market Gardener Podcast

We are happy to present another episode of the Market Gardner Podcast, this time featuring our friend, organic farming pioneer Eliot Coleman. Eliot joined Jean-Martin Fortier and co-host Chris Moran in front of a live audience in their Quebec studio to explore what decades of soil-based farming have taught him about fertility, integrity, and clean food. From green manures and compost skepticism, to the dangers of input-driven organic systems, Eliot offers a rare, elder perspective on why organic farming must remain grounded in living soil – and not in products, shortcuts, or industrial trends.
