What we talk about
The vision behind a family farm and the ambition to build a business that lasts for generations.
From raw land to working farm: vines, infrastructure, equipment, wine, and tea.
Rooted in Puget Sound: exploring the soils, climate, economics, and local realities of farming here.
The mistakes, unexpected bills, bureaucracy, and lessons that come with starting something.
Conversations with farmers, entrepreneurs, neighbors, and experts who help shape the journey.
Meet your host
What does it take to turn a vision into a working farm?
From Louisiana to the Pacific Northwest
Rooted in Puget Sound, I’m David—a husband, dad, and farmer building a new chapter with my family.
Trouble on the Sound follows the work behind Hidden Harbor Vines, Hooper Winery, and Nuage. It’s a place for honest conversations about the land, the business, and everything we learn along the way.
Expect progress and setbacks, practical questions, and time with people who have something worth sharing.
A cup of tea or a glass of cool-climate wine opens each regular episode. A small tasting, a little curiosity, and a moment to settle in before we get into the story.
Come along for the ride
Follow the farm’s progress, behind-the-scenes moments, and news as the podcast gets ready to launch.
