Welcome to our latest podcast episode, where we have the pleasure of speaking with Sam Marwood, the co-founder of Cultivate Farms. Founded with his good friends Tim and Tegan Hicks, who share the same vision of “rejuvenating rural communities”.

In this episode, we'll explore the innovative solutions Cultivate Farms offers to address the age-old problem of retiring farmers who want to retain ownership of their business while passing the reins to a younger generation of farmers.

In a world where selling or leasing appears to be the only feasible option for aging farmers, Cultivate Farms has opened up a whole new realm of opportunities for aspiring farmers who never saw farm ownership as a realistic option before.

Cultivate Farms helps match retiring farmers who want to maintain ownership of their business with young, talented, and enthusiastic farm business managers. These managers do not own land yet but are interested in investing in farming and have long-term careers as farm managers.

By offering a unique and ground-breaking solution to this issue, Cultivate Farms is revitalizing rural communities by nurturing a new generation of farmers.
