An EcoFarmers Discovery Chapter 1: The Philosopher’s Stone

Welcome to An EcoFarmer's Discovery: The Companion Podcast, where every Friday we dive deep into one chapter of Ewan Campbell's journey.

You're invited to read along - get the audiobook via Spotify (search An EcoFarmer's Discovery) or grab it on Kindle - and explore each chapter with us as we unpack the stories, ideas, and principles of regenerative farming.

A new episode drops each Friday, covering 26 chapters across 26 weeks.

Episode — Chapter 1:

The Philosopher’s Stone - In today’s first episode, we launch into Chapter 1: The Philosopher’s Stone - the idea that soil is more than chemistry, that there is a living intelligence, and that transformation in farming begins with seeing the invisible. We’ll discuss:

• What “The Philosopher’s Stone” metaphor means for farming and soil health

• How Ewan’s early observations shaped his thinking

• Why conventional approaches miss the living dynamics beneath the surface

• Practical implications: where do you begin to “tune into” the life of soil

Subscribe or follow to hear more from Ewan’s 26-chapter journey into natural farming wisdom from his book An EcoFarmers Discovery.

Watch us on video: episodes are also published in full on YouTube and Spotify video.

So, grab the audiobook on Spotify or Kindle and read along with each chapter and listen or watch the episode after reading the chapter as we expand, reflect, and add context.
