Quint Pottinger didn’t plan on returning to the farm. He was headed for med school when one phone call from his grandmother changed everything. What started as 80 acres has grown into a multi-thousand-acre operation in the heart of Kentucky bourbon country.
From bagging deer corn in his shop to supplying distilleries with clean grain by the tote, Quint shares how early failures (like 2,000 tomato plants and a summer selling printer paper) shaped the grit it takes to keep moving forward. He dives into why farmers must think like business owners, how local markets can keep communities alive, and why true sustainability goes beyond soil health to include economic and social responsibility.
This is a story of family legacy, risk-taking, and reimagining what the next generation of farming can look like in rural America.
