Today, I head back to Silicon Valley with 227 GB of HD video and a ton (metric) of knowledge gained from the dozen or so natural farmers we interviewed while traveling 2,900 miles in Japan and South Korea.

I am glad to hear you are progressing on your project. I can’t wait to see all the amazing shots you got and stories you have to share. Let me know when you are back so we can caught up.
Cheers,
Brandon
