#92 – Carnation Farms – Brian Pugh - US Marine Corps

From Marine Corps logistician to champion of regenerative agriculture — Brian Pugh’s journey is one you don’t want to miss.

In this conversation, Brian shares how family gardens, his time in Okinawa’s Blue Zone, and a growing concern for food as medicine led him to leave the service and dive headfirst into healing our food system from the soil up.

He’s now leading the Service to Soil program at Carnation Farms, a SkillBridge initiative helping transitioning veterans gain hands-on experience in regenerative farming, crops, livestock, and building community in ag.

If you’re a veteran curious about farming, interested in soil health, or just love stories of purpose-driven transitions — this one’s for you.

Listen now to hear:

• Why regenerative ag is critical for national security & veteran transitions
• How one farm is creating real pathways for the next generation of veteran farmers
• Breadcrumbs that led Brian from logistics to leading Soil Stewards

Enjoy!
