Most people think farming requires hundreds of acres and massive tractors. David Barchard proves you can feed a community with just a few hundred square feet and a lot of heart. After 15 years in the restaurant industry witnessing a broken supply chain, David and his wife Kirstin founded Micro Acres to bring food security back home. This is a story about pivoting when revenue drops 90% overnight, the "One Green Away" philosophy that drives their philanthropy, and why true abundance means teaching others to grow their own food.
