What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

When I first started to listen to this podcast, I was confused/intrigued by the daily format. Now I love it. And I weirdly love Jesse’s sponsorship reads too? My most relaxing podcast by far.

hannahshad · Mar 2025

Absolutely love Farmer Jesse and the daily growers podcast. I’m not a farmer or a market gardener but I absolutely love learning about what some of our local small farmers are doing.

Excellent source of insight in ecological farming. BUT: It’s time to split this into multiple shows. The feed is feeling cluttered and it affects the ratings. It will be easier to find exactly what one is looking for—for example, someone loves the daily podcast with Farmer Jesse but Collab farming and winter growing is irrelevant, or you don’t appreciate the host, then you don’t have to sort through it all, and No Till growers stops getting negative feedback that’s all lumped together.
