67: HoA "Agriculture beyond the farm gate" with Sam Johnston

Sam Johnston and his mate, Jim, created Thank a Farmer for your Next Meal in their free time while at university in the city, but that was seven years ago, now Sam leads a very different life.

It was when he began to bring city friends home in the school holidays that he recognised just how interesting everyday country life can be for those who don’t get to experience it regularly.

“I remember moving a mob of sheep with these friends - which for people who grew up on the land is an everyday thing - and they thought it was amazing, they had their phones out taking videos, taking photos.”

It was later, while at university in Sydney, that Sam was approached by his mate Jim with the idea for Thank A Farmer.
