Meet Chad Midgley, the innovative farmer who's revolutionizing cold-climate agriculture by growing citrus, figs, and pomegranates in snowy Utah - without spending a dime on heating. In this eye-opening episode, Chad shares his decade-long journey creating self-heating "Hobbit greenhouses" that transform ordinary backyards into year-round tropical paradises.

  • Grow 15-foot citrus trees in snow country
  • Produce thousands of dollars worth of peaches from just one greenhouses
  • Create self-sustaining food forests using perennial systems
  • Build cost-effective greenhouses using recycled materials
  • Maintain thriving crops with minimal maintenance

Chad's practical wisdom and creative solutions prove that anyone, anywhere can grow their own food year-round. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, this episode offers game-changing insights into sustainable food production and agricultural independence.

Plus, get a sneak peek at his new "100 Hobbit greenhouse" design that promises to revolutionize home food production for everyone from apartment dwellers to small farmers.
