Earthly Edibles with Ed Cohen

Humboldt County Grown by North Coast Growers Association

Episode notes

What does it take to build a successful organic farm that feeds both a local community and sends produce to the Bay Area?

For over two decades, Ed Cohen of Earthly Edibles has been answering that question, and he sat down with us to share his journey. Starting as a farmhand for an OG organic legend, Paul Gintoli, Ed learned the ropes in an era when "organic by default" was the local norm.
