Regenerative Agrotourism with David Rust
David Rust is the founder and CEO of Sagra, an agro-tourism company that works with farms across the country. He believes that a trip to a regenerative farm can be a revelation for people, inspiring them to shift the way they shop, eat, and see the environment.
Sagra partners with regenerative farmers to provide hospitality offering to the farms. Think property tours, farm-to-table dinners, unique stays and experiences.
By doing this David and his team hope that this can create addition income for farmers and enable them to focus on what they do best: farm.
On the podcast episode David discusses the path that led to founding Sagra, including David’s time at Lyft during its meteoric rise. They also touch on David’s upbringing and his family’s experience with farms in Europe, where agro-tourism is common. And they dissect the Sagra business model, which is all about bringing people and farms together to promote a public appreciation for regenerative agriculture and support the farms themselves.
