About this listen

What drives you to grow chestnuts—not just in year one, but year ten? In this episode, Melanie revisits a question that keeps surfacing in our orchard, at conferences, and in every email from new growers:

“What’s your why?” Drawing from personal experience and stories from growers like Brad and Sandy Russell, we explore what happens when you follow your reasons all the way down. Plus, Melanie shares a simple, powerful reflection tool you can download to clarify your own path. In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why your “why” matters more than your business plan
How surface reasons often evolve into deeper ones
Real motivations that keep chestnut growers going
What to ask yourself when things get hard
How to use the 7-question “Find Your Why” exercise
