Running a Farm to Get the Best Milk to Make the Best Cheese by Kate Field (part 2)

Episode Summary

Today’s episode is the 2nd part of our conversation with Kate Field who has joined us from Tasmania, in Australia, where she runs Leap Farm together with her husband Ian. They started Leap Farm in 2012 because they were on a quest for making the perfect cheese. In the previous episode, we talked extensively about the philosophy behind Leap Farm but if you haven’t listened to it, you can still go ahead with this one and come back to the other one later. Now in this part of our conversation, we will continue on our exploration of the fascinating world of running a farm and goat-cheese making. This part is packed with some very practical lessons on how Kate created a market for goat meat in her community and how they built their goat farm and cheese factory. And maybe, who knows, you might be inspired to have your own farm as well. We also discussed sustainability and again, some interesting ideas in this conversation. But my favorite part is when Kate shares with us what she loves about her life as a farmer. I find this, really profound and moving in so many ways. So if you want to find out more about life in Tasmania, farming, goats, sustainability and finding meaning in business and in life in general, stay tuned and join me for this conversation with Kate Field.
