David Noriega on No-Till Farming, Music, Ayahuasca Experience, Fatherhood, + Reconnecting to the Land | #8

07/05/20 • 73 min

David "Blank" Noriega is a musician / Hip-Hop producer turned full time organic farmer from Long Island, New York. David has been a close friend of mine for well over 10 years now, and we have created an immense amount of beautiful music / memories over the years.
In this episode we discuss David's music journey, from going as a young bassist who only listened to Jazz and Rock, to becoming one of the best Hip-Hop producers I personally know from New York. To eventually leaving it all behind to become a full time farmer and father in the countryside of Maine.
We speak on David's transformational trip down to South America to drink Ayahuasca, (which he credits to leading him to become a full time farmer), the importance of speaking the truth at all costs, the benefits of No-Till farming, sustainable land practices, why he no longer uses social media, and the importance of forging a closer relationship to the natural world.
