Podcast: The Soil Matters - Cass Gilmore, Owner of Benson's Pond

Farming has always leaned conventional — built on a chemical-based culture. But Farmer Cass started learning about plant biology and discovered that nature already has its own system. Plants protect themselves, working in symbiosis with the soil. That knowledge led him to experiment with fermentation, using native weeds from his own farm to create natural fertilizers — work that’s since caught the attention of larger cranberry growers who now seek out his expertise.
