77. Ryan Thiessen on Efficiency with Small Farm Mechanical Cultivation

Who produces modern tools that make the lives of small vegetable farmers so much easier? Ryan Thiessen of Ontario Canada joins us today to tell us how he does exactly that, and what led him to becoming the producer of such optimal tools. Thiessen Tillage Equipment was born of a need for small scale equipment on Ryan’s own mixed vegetable farm, Creek Shore Farms in St. Catharines, Ontario. After spending years making tools for himself, Ryan began making those same tools for the wider farming community.
