Eggcellent Adventures Ep. 54 Ft. Matt @GreenhornGrove
Matthew and Reec link up in Atlanta for a concert—but what starts as a casual meetup turns into an epic podcast episode. The two dive into how they first connected online, became farm buddies, and share what it's really like transitioning from city life to the homestead grind.
Matt, now a social media phenom with millions of followers across multiple platforms, opens up about the highs and lows of growing an online presence in the agriculture space. Together, they discuss how the digital world intersects with farm life, their nonprofit missions, giving back to the community, and of course—some hilarious chicken stories.
From growing gardens to growing impact, this episode of EGGcellent Adventures is packed with insight, laughs, and real talk.
