"I am done with apologies. If contrariness is my inheritance and destiny, so be it. If it is my mission to go in at exits and come out at entrances, so be it." - Wendell Berry

The world that Robbie Vitrano and the team at Mad Agriculture is striving to create is so vastly different than the world that is, that nearly everything that they do bears certain madness. From heart to head, poetry to science, financing to markets, and soil to shelf, MadAg help farmers thrive in regenerative organic agriculture. And sure, it's a little different from our normal fare on this show, but there is lending involved and, more importantly, if we are what we eat, we'd all do well to understand how farmers are making our food as good as it can be.
