Zack Farr is a third generation Florida farmer who watched working land get chewed up and paved over while everyone pretended it was progress. Instead of cashing out, he walked away from a corporate job and went back home to try to make land pay again. That path led him somewhere unexpected, burned citrus piles, stubborn plants, and eventually biochar.

In this episode we dig into what biochar actually is, why it works, and how turning wood waste into carbon can rebuild soil, clean water, and keep land in production. Zack tells the real story, not theory, not grant buzzwords. What worked, what failed, and what it took to build the first fully bootstrapped mobile biochar processing facility in the country.

This is a conversation about land, risk, and doing the work when institutions talk big and deliver little. If you care about soil, water, farming, or keeping rural communities alive instead of selling them off, this is one you should listen to start to finish.
