We Got the Dirt: Ag Stories You Can’t Make Up - Part 2 with SLO Farm Trail

Published 7 months ago
Description

We’re kicking off a part 2 of our Farm Days series that takes you straight into the heart of the SLO County Farm Trail this weekend!. In this first episode, Adam sits down with some of his favorite ag fam to talk about food, farming, friendship, and how passion and product collide right here on the Central Coast.


Joining Adam in Timbre LoBro studio:


  • Lynette Sonne, the powerhouse behind Farmstead Ed and the SLO County Farm Trail, who’s connecting farmers to farmers and farms to YOU.
  • Gina Hambly from Hambly Farms, where lavender isn’t just a plant—it’s a lifestyle.
  • Jennifer Talent of Groves on 41, who’s crafting world-class olive oil and sharing a little piece of heaven on the farm.
  • Chris Battile of Mighty Cap Mushrooms, who turned a garage-side hustle into a mushroom mecca in Tin City.

They talk shop, they talk skin care, they talk goats, collaborations, and counterfeit olive oil (for real). This isn’t just ag talk, it’s about local love, making things with your hands, and putting faces to the food we eat and the products we use.


And mark your calendars: Open Farm Days 2025 is happening June 20–22, with over two dozen farms opening their gates for one of the most delicious, educational, and hands-on weekends in the county.
