Episode 80 – Weed Warriors on Four Legs: Dan Humpage from EnviroGraze

In today’s episode, we sit down with Dan Humpage from EnviroGraze — home to some of the cleverest weed-eating warriors on the land. These goats aren’t just grazing; they’re actively restoring balance to our native landscapes.

Dan’s method is a prescribed remedy for ecological repair — thoughtful, sustainable, and surprisingly scientific.

We unpack how these remarkable animals help suppress weeds, add nitrogen back into the soil, and encourage the return of native species. Dan also shares how he trains his team — including Velvet, the calm and wise matriarch who leads the herd with quiet authority. And it’s not just the land benefiting. These goats spark conversations, curiosity, and community wherever they roam.

This is a fascinating yarn about innovation, ecology, and the power of human–animal teamwork.
