Episode 174: Scaling Regenerative Practices from Micro-Farms to Row Crops with Briana Bosch

Briana Bosch is the founder of Blossom and Branch, where she manages a two-acre flower micro-farm in Denver and a 180-acre family grain farm in Minnesota. With a background in journalism and a master's in marketing, she has become a prominent voice in the regenerative movement by focusing on scaling soil health concepts for both small-scale market gardens and large-scale commodity operations. Last year marked a significant milestone in her transition of the family's century-old Minnesota farm, as she implemented intensive regenerative practices for the first time, including the total elimination of herbicides and fungicides on her experimental acreage. In this episode, John and Briana discuss: The role of authenticity and maintaining the "true voice" to build lasting trust Her transition from using plastic mulch and netting to implementing living ground covers and high-carbon mulches like wood chips How flower production can net a higher profit per acre than almost any other crop, including marijuana, when focused on local markets The benefits of 60-inch corn rows for facilitating intercropping and cover crop growth within the constraints of a short northern growing season Seed inoculation as the most effective "low-hanging fruit" for jump-starting soil biology and reducing synthetic fertilizer needs The psychological and cultural barriers, such as "groupthink" and defensiveness, that often prevent farmers from adopting new practices Additional Resources To purchase Briana's book, The Regenerative Gardener's Handbook , please visit: To follow Briana on Instagram, please visit: To
