Eliot Van Peski of Meadowsweet Farm pt2

We visited Eliot at his farm, Meadowsweet Farm in Swanville Maine to check the place out and talk farming. Eliot has been interviewed previously, but we wanted to get together again and try and show some of his farm to everyone and catch up on things.
We ramble a little bit, but the timelines listed below are rough areas of conversation we had, and I added them in to help you navigate better, and some links were just important things Eliot says that are worth highlighting.
