    It’s okay for new gardens
    Greg is very annoying in lots of ways. You’ll pick up on that pretty quick. Good guests. Particularly the seed chats with the homie from Idaho.

    Thanks so much for tips on dry farming. Will you be addressing fog collection for water? We sometimes have “pea soup” mornings and I am wondering how useful this method is.

    Worm episode
    Great episode on worms. I’ll need to check him out. He’s just down the street from me. Thank you.

    One of the best ways to spend your time
    This podcast is educational on so many topics. I’ve learned about everything from cucumber melons to urban homesteading in the southwest. Additionally, the tone is so relaxing and peaceful. It’s exactly what I need after a stressful day. I couldn’t ask for a better podcast!
  • Feral Creatures Homestead
    So helpful!
    My 7 year old always asks me to put this podcast on in the car. We absolutely love it! We have an urban homestead and we’ve learned a lot!
  • dancingwiththeearth
    Rooted and grounded
    Excellent, upbeat host providing down to earth conversations and practical advice. Love it and find it all inspiring! Thank you!
  • Rynosnot
    Inspiring!
    What a great podcast with fantastic guests. Love the energy and attitude. Farmer Greg has led me to some other great podcasters on backyard farming.

    Host is painful to listen to
    The good: the guests are great and extremely knowledgeable on a variety of topics. The bad: the host is tone deaf, clearly has no interest in learning from others (by constantly declaring how he already knows everything his guests are trying to discuss and essentially killing the natural flow of conversation and information), and is constantly trying to make everything about him by interrupting the guests or trying to redirect their discussion with his irrelevant personal anecdotes or the incessant personal injections (ex: Okay! Great! I already knew that!) or the stale, pedantic closing questions that have been exactly the same for years that even the guests are clearly rolling their eyes while answering. At least after more than 2 years of complaints in the reviews, he finally stopped eating and drinking while recording - because that’s super respectful to your guests too... If you can totally tune out the host, the guests are great! Is there an app for that yet?
  • It failed.
    Infomercials
    They talk more about programs and products and less about how to grow food.
  • owen severne
    One of the best
    One of my favorite farm/homestead podcasts. Especially the seed saving classes, which I just can’t get enough of. Thank you so much. Please do some more episodes on raising quail, breeding plants and seed saving.
  • elbachatino
    Very insightful and great guests!
    Started by listening to episode 511...I’m from Arizona... Angie was great! Loved the ladybug moment! Thanks for doing your podcast!
  • Mareya Ibrahim
    Such great content!
    What a wonderfully comprehensive place to hear experts on every aspect of gardening. I’m so inspired to grow heirloom flowers now after listening to the last episode!
  • AdventuristaAZ
    Great scope of info!
    There are so many topics in the world of gardening! This is one of the few podcasts that brings together professionals and hobbyists to share what’s going on in their chunk of the gardening world. I like the variety of views and experiences. It’s also neat to see how people across the world participate in the grow your own food revolution!
  • KdkJam0864213579
    Disappointed
    Listened to one episode. The topic suggested in the title was barely addressed. Instead the guest and host discussed at length a topic in which neither of them are experts (nutrition and physiology). A great example of how the spread of false information happens so easily. Approach this podcast with some skepticism
  • The City Farmer
    The best listen in #urbanag
    City Farmer here! We are delighted with this podcast and so inspired by The Urban Farm’s commitment, knowledge and sweetness. You will love, learn and laugh when listening.

    Amazing Audio
    Whoever is doing the audio for this show is doing a terrific job. Professional quality!
  • Harvath906
    Greg is great! Love listening, learning and now living the Urban Farm lifestyle.
    This is a great Podcast for newcomers and season gardeners. Greg has a great since of humor and knowledge and provides the tools for success. I live in Central Kentucky area and have started my own urban farm now. Good vibes 🤙🏻 and and rock on 🤘
  • MsEvaD
    Mixed Bag
    This could be a five star show but...it’s not. The guests are absolutely five star. SO MUCH good info and a variety of topics. My huge annoyance comes from the host. Yes, he is knowledgeable and experienced, but he always inserts himself and makes everything about him. It is such a strange and irritating habit. LET THE GUESTS SPEAK WITHOUT INTERRUPTION. Not every point they make needs to be followed up with the hosts’ personal anecdote. So...could be five, but someone needs to calm the mansplaining.
  • Ribosome
    Great!
    Great!
  • marysdaughter
    Great practical information!
    Great resource for networking and sharing information among those of us involved in urban food production. A real service to us all!
  • SPReviews90
    Great Guest Lineup
    The guests on the podcast are very inspirational. It took me a while to get used to Greg's style, but the guests he has on this show make me keep coming back for more.
  • Ryan_Kriz
    Greg, you are awesome and your work matters in the world!
    I discovered this podcast early on and it has opened me up to so many amazing people, garden educators as well as people who just have a different background and experience from my own. I've learned so much and will continue to do so as I listen in each week.
  • ~Ms. Kaitlyn~
    Love this podcasts
    I stumbled upon this podcast and after two episodes I subscribed. So good!! Excellent guests with great topics. I'm currently at my 9-5 binge listening lol. If your into gardening and nature this is a wonderful podcast! Thank you for providing this!!
  • Kimberly Kling
    An Immensely Valuable Resource!
    This podcast is by far one of my favorites. Greg is an inspiration and so are the people he interviews on this podcast. The work they are all doing is changing the world. What's more, the information provided in this podcast is invaluable! From raising quail to herbal medicine, you will find a plethora of immensely valuable information right at your fingertips and you will be inspired! Thank you for this amazing podcast Greg!
  • Aljayfunguy
    Good podcast and info, however...
    Has been a good find and has great information. However, there tends to be times when you can hear background noise from the host- stapling papers or cutting things...hard to pay attention when that is going on
  • Kurthnaga
    Too specific to locale and not much usable info
    The episodes I listened to were very specific to the southwest, quite repetitive, and not a lot of usable information, more interviewees tooting their own horn. They might all be lovely people, but I listen to podcasts to learn.
  • FellowLoverOfSociology
    Impersonal
    I find this host to be impersonal, unable to relate to his guests, and competitive to the point of one-upmanship. His most common response to a guest's answer to a question is "nice" or something about how he already knew that fact. Distracted by his manner, I'm unable to enjoy the amazing and knowledgable guests. Will be moving on to other permaculture podcasts.
  • Rob46cc
    Good but....
    Good podcast. I really enjoy some of the guests. Two points of improvement: 1) mix up the questions. It gets a little mundane when the questions are the exact same to every guest. 2) STOP EATING AND DRINKING DURING THE INTERVIEWS!!! The last back episode I tried to listen to I had to turn off because the sound of you eating was making my stomach turn. I'm still catching up on back episodes so it may be better by the time I get current.
  • MangoPeachPit
    Good content, poor production quality
    Great info and interviews. The downfall is the ongoing background noise. It often sounds like the host is eating/chewing while on the microphone. This is very distracting and fixing this small problem would greatly improve the production value of this already good podcast.
  • Earth Friendly Mama
    Impressed
    I’m impressed with this podcast. I like Greg’s style and knowledge. I feel like he has so much to share that I could listen for years and still learn something new. He’s inspiring me to get into my garden more. This is well worth listening to.
  • M1kesw1fe
    Boom!
    Love this podcast, can’t wait to try everything!!
  • Rested8
    Great podcast
    So far this has been a very helpful podcast- different farmers, facing different challenges and goals.
  • onkx02
    Listen while you work
    Super interesting and very accessible…looking forwards to hearing more! Greg, you should consider interviewing Regi Haslett-Marroquin from Main Street Project!
  • SunshineGardener
    Great Permaculture Info
    Starting to desing a house and garden on an irrigated lot, and we're excited to integrate the permaculture ideas talked about here to be more self-sufficient. Great, usable information for gardeners in any situation.
  • PhotoYogi
    Great gardening support in my ears as I work in garden!
    I love podcasts . Great inspiring companions while I garden or walk/ hike or other now computer and reading type activities . Greg is such a wealth of knowlege and inspiration, and now being able to listen while doing other stuff… delicious! Thanks for all your help in my quest for producing sustainable yummies at DirttoDelicious . thanks for the idea to name our urban farm! Makes sense considering my blog is dirttodelicious.net ! thank you Greg!
  • sazst
    Informative but not intimidating
    So far so good! This is exactly what I was hoping for when I learned that the Urban Farm was going to be doing a podcast. Full of great, specific information that I can put to practice right away. The tone is great - very knowledgeable host and guests with lots to share but not at all intimidating. It is great to listen and learn but not feel like I'm not "doing enough". A lot of resources on permaculture and urban farming can be a bit too intense. I look forward to many more!
  • PermacultureGreg
    LOVE THIS PODCAST!!!
    Well I should - it is Greg Peterson Here! What I really love is recording this podcast and interviewing great urban farmers and such. Please let me know who you would like for us to track down and interview.
  • kMichaelmace
    Great!!
    After 3 episodes I am already hooked. Great content targeting the majority of us - people living in urban and suburban areas. As a certified permaculture practitioner focusing on smaller scale properties, this is a great resource.
  • Nickbarnhiser
    Can't wait for more
    First 3 episodes were great! Specifically informative if you live in PHX, but one could learn a great deal about permaculture from this podcast no matter where you live.
  • O'Codygirl
    I love your passion to share
    Urban Farm shares all of his 'hands-on' knowledge and passion he has learned over decades. I look forward to learning more from him and his special guests.
  • Fantastic Information
    Harvesting A New Perspective
    Wow! As a life-long student of food, health, physical and spiritual health, I have to say that I've been impressed and excited to hear about the Urban Farm Podcast. I was first introduced to Greg and the Urban Farm last spring, and he has continued to provide nuggets of delicious wisdom in his online classes and now this! I've started my own apartment garden - Name TBD. This Podcast is soooo needed right now! - BTW, I bought Ishmael - I will start reading it tonight. Requested guests: Jamie Oliver and David "Avocado" Wolfe! - Mindy Neal, CHHC, AADP (Certified Holistic Health Coach, Institute for Integrative Nutrition)
  • Food IS Medicine
    New urban farm coming...
    I can’t wait to learn through these podcasts and Greg’s classes to create my own urban farm! I already have a name :-) Permaculture here we come! Thanks!!!!
  • ChandlerFarmer
    Changing the World!

  • Sufferingnomad
    Awesome info
    I use his information to start my urban farm as often as I can. Valuable stuff
  • brrrrrrrrrrrrrandi
    Very inspiring
    Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience. Since planting my first edible garden eighteen months ago the number one thing I've learned is you'll always need more information! So happy to have found a dependable source.
  • ChildsFamilyFarm
    Excited!
    I'm an off an on gardener. I always start out the seasons enthusiastic and ready to go. But I never seem to follow through to the end. This has some great ideas in it and has inspired me to give it another go.
  • klboyd1978
    Extremely informative
    I enjoy gardening but I was growing frustrated at the lack of success due to this harsh desert climate and my lack of knowledge. After listening to the first three episodes of this podcast I felt revitalized and ready to get my hands dirty again. A big thanks to Greg and all of his guest for sharing their experiences and knowledge with us.
  • iamjenng
    Excellent podcast.
    Awesome podcast. Greg at the urban farm is amazing and he helped us grow our own food about two years ago. Can't wait for more episodes.
  • Dryheat9
    Thanks!
