Amazing Arizonans: 2 leaders with Schnepf Farms on how to make a farm transcend generations

One of our goals with the Amazing Arizonans podcast is to learn the history of iconic people and businesses that have been in Arizona for generations.

Schnepf Farms qualifies. I had the privilege of sitting down with Mark and Carrie Schnepf. Learning the family history of farming was an Arizona history lesson.

We talked about the challenges of farming in the 21st century, but what I loved most was their commitment to keeping the farm going.

We learned how difficult it is in such a fast-growing state to say no to large sums of money for the farmland. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
