Sprouts Friday Featured Favorites: The Great American Farm Tour Justin Rhodes

Several years ago, Sprouts posted our 20 Favorite YouTube Gardeners. It's consistently our most popular post. Since then, more gardeners have shared their wisdom and gardens on YouTube. Each Friday, we will feature one garden channel we find inspiring.

This week's featured YouTube Gardener is Justin Rhodes' The Great American Farm Tour. This isn't our typical gardening channel. It's more of a farm and travel channel. In a nutshell- a family of six, a converted bus, and the open road leading to farms across America. It's fantastic!
