Like BCS in Italy, the mission of BCS America is to increase your productivity and reduce the physical effort required to accomplish your outdoor tasks, projects, and farm work. Now introducing the 30” spreader attachment for adding a consistent layer of compost and amendments to a standard 30” bed. Even in a no-till system, there are a myriad of uses for the best two wheel tractor on the market.

Onto our conversation with…

This week I spoke to David Williams of Sunset Market Gardens about winter farming, and the relationships between landscaping and no-till. And way more.

Not too long ago, Josh Sattin did a series of videos with David of Sunset Market Gardens and, holy cow, what a beautiful farm. We finally got to sit down with him and talk about how his work in landscaping has informed his no-till farming, how he has capitalized the farm, investing in high-quality consultation and education, and—yes—how he’s adapting to marketing through the coronavirus.
