Composting as a Cultural Shift with Ben Parry of Compost Crew 237. Composting as a Cultural Shift with Ben Parry of Compost Crew Lady Farmer This week, in honor of International Compost Awareness Week, we're joined by Ben Parry, CEO of Compost Crew — a small but mighty business in the DC metropolitan area helping thousands of households and businesses turn their food waste into something good for the soil. Ben's story is a quiet revolution in itself: a journey from renewable energy to regenerative soil, from powering the grid to feeding the ground beneath our feet.

In this conversation, we dig into how composting is transforming what we throw away into a vital resource, the very real challenges of scaling community-based systems, and what it takes at the household, neighborhood, and policy level to shift our cultural relationship with food waste. Ben shares Compost Crew's growth from a small food-scrap hauler with a handful of customers to a regional force serving thousands of homes, the partnerships with local farms that bring composting full circle, and his vision for a future where dropping your food scraps into a compost bin is as ordinary as not littering on the highway.

It's a hopeful, grounded conversation about the patient work of building better systems one bucket, one alley, one farm at a time.

Main topics covered:

  • The evolution of composting in the Washington, DC metro area
  • The role of systemic infrastructure and community engagement in waste recycling
  • Strategies to overcome perceived barriers to food scrap composting
  • The importance of local, transparent food systems and grassroots momentum
  • Future developments in composting technology and policy

In this episode:

  • Ben introduces Compost Crew and its mission to keep food waste out of the landfill
  • The story of DC's curbside composting pilot and the ambitious plans to expand it citywide
  • Why systemic infrastructure and visibility matter when it comes to building participation
  • How social perception, education, and regulation shape compost adoption
  • The Compost Outpost model — bringing composting to local farms like One Acre Farm in Dickerson, MD
  • The ripple effects of crises like COVID-19 and global conflicts on recycling supply chains and the case for local self-reliance
  • The cultural shift needed to treat composting as everyday normalcy — much like the "Don't Be a Litterbug" campaigns of decades past
  • Future opportunities: composting in schools, hospitals, and wedding venues

From Mary: Earth First Gardening with Melanie Cotillo of Lazy Dirt Wildflower Farm 236. From Mary: Earth First Gardening with Melanie Cotillo of Lazy Dirt Wildflower Farm Lady Farmer Spring has a way of pulling us back to the soil — and this season, Mary sat down with someone who has made the health of the soil and the well being of the pollinators and wildlife in her local ecosystem her first priority. Melanie Cutillo is the self-described Plant Wrangler in Chief at Lazy Dirt Wildflower Farm in Mexico, New York, a backyard nursery nestled just east of Lake Ontario, where she grows native and wildflower plants entirely without plastic, peat, or synthetic inputs of any kind.


It was a cold January morning walk to the mailbox and a chance encounter with a dried circle of New England aster in the snow that sent Melanie on a quest to grow native plants. The result is a farm, a philosophy, and a way of tending the earth that she calls "Earth First Gardening."


This conversation is for every gardener who has ever come home from the nursery with a carload of beauty and a pile of plastic waste—wondering if there's a better way.


Melanie and Mary talk about what it really means to be not just a gardener, but a guardian of the earth’s abundance. Whether you have many acres or simply a front porch, a city window or a community garden plot, this episode will remind you that what matters is how we tend to the land we have.


In this episode, Mary and Melanie talk about:

  • What makes Lazy Dirt Wildflower Farm different from a conventional nursery — small scale, field-grown plants, zero plastic, and a focus on local ecotype native species
  • The January morning that started it all: a circle of New England aster in the snow and a pair of tracks that changed everything
  • Why Melanie ditched plastic entirely — and how a 10-by-25-foot barn full of collected pots finally pushed her over the edge
  • The alternatives she found and invented: soil blocking, wool pots, burlap wrapping, and growing in native soil without bagged amendments or peat
  • Why avoiding peat matters and what's lost when we use it: carbon sequestration, living soil, and a non-renewable resource extracted from ancient bogs
  • The difference between a native plant and a nativar — and why it matters enormously to the pollinators and wildlife that depend on them
  • How to ask better questions at your local nursery: Where does the seed come from? Can I bring back my plastic pots? Do you grow from seed on site?
  • The concept of "tending" — and why you don't need land to do it. A street tree, a park path, a porch container can all be a place of care and relationship
  • Native hydrangeas, dahlias, echinacea, monarda, jewel weed, sweetgrass, and tulsi — stories of plant relationships that illuminate the beauty and intelligence of the natural world
  • Melanie's best tip for gardeners: make your seed list in July, at the height of the season, when you can see clearly what you have and what you truly need — then recycle the January catalog
  • The new paradigm: from consumer to guardian, from transaction to relationship, from gardener to grower of community

The Cost of Slow Living: How to Align Your Values Without Burning Out 235. The Cost of Slow Living: How to Align Your Values Without Burning Out Lady Farmer What happens when a listener writes in with the very questions your community is wrestling with? You invite her on the show.

Emily Hillman has spent 14 years in the fashion industry — from the artisan workrooms of Midtown Manhattan to the fast fashion corporate world. After purchasing a 19th-century farmhouse in rural New Jersey and becoming a mother, she found that her priorities had quietly shifted. Finding herself at a crossroads, Emily reached out to Mary and Emma, not looking for all the answers so much as a grounded, honest conversation. .

This is The Good Dirt's first interview back after a hiatus. Here we’re talking about the real tension so many of us feel: I want to live more simply, more slowly, more intentionally — but how do I actually do that in the life I'm already living?

If you've ever felt the push and pull between the values you hold and the demands of the world you live in, this episode will speak to you.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Emily's journey from Vermont roots to New York City fashion workrooms — and what she learned firsthand about the difference between artisan craftsmanship and fast fashion production
  • The "painful catch-22" of slow living: wanting a simpler life that costs money, while earning less because you're stepping back from the corporate grind
  • Why removing moral judgment from your daily purchasing decisions can actually free you to make more sustainable choices
  • Practical, accessible approaches to buying secondhand clothing for kids (and why our audience is already well ahead of the curve)
  • The economics of slow food: buying in bulk, finding local sources, joining a CSA, and why embracing constraints actually sparks creativity
  • Composting as one of the most powerful individual acts for the planet — and tips for making it work even in bear country
  • How small, cumulative changes add up — and why you're probably further along than you think
  • Book recommendations: Redefining Rich by Shannon Hayes, The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, and Jen Sincero's You Are a Badass series
  • The concept of "blue sky thinking" — letting yourself imagine the life you want before the budget anxiety kicks in
  • Reconnecting with nature and the seasons as a compass for finding your authentic calling

They share personal updates (babies! work! gardening!) and discuss plans for how they want to continue to unfold into The Good Dirt and the Lady Farmer project.</span></p><p>00:00 Welcome Back Check In</p><p>01:11 Meet Mary And Emma</p><p>02:12 Lady Farmer Origin Story</p><p>04:16 Slow Living Then And Now</p><p>08:17 Beyond Individual Responsibility</p><p>10:37 Morality Free Sustainability</p><p>13:24 Decluttering And Landfill Guilt</p><p>15:34 Meaning Emotions And The Good Life</p><p>17:16 Creativity Work And Money</p><p>19:52 Grandma Life And Restorative Gardening</p><p>21:13 Reopening The Marketplace</p><p>25:52 Listener Requests And Wrap Up</p><br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a> 56f37834-b293-4661-8d96-602daabc72d4 https://www.lady-farmer.com/the-good-dirt-podcast/ Fri, 20 Mar 2026 04:00:53 +0000 1708 no full 234.

In this episode we're talking to Leah Webb, author of The Seven Step Homestead about how to turn any yard into a primary food source with vegetables, fruits, chickens, pollinator plants and medicinal herbs. A mother of two children with unique medical needs, Leah utilizes food grown in her own backyard garden as an important part of her children's integrative care. She sees herself as a solutions-based Family Food and Garden Coach, with a goal of guiding families in making small yet impactful steps towards sourcing their own nutrition and achieving long term dietary, cooking, and gardening goals. She is also the author of The Grain-Free, Sugar-Free, Dairy-Free Family Cookbook. In this conversation, we delve into the challenges and benefits of growing and preparing nutrient dense food, and the practicalities of creating your own microfarm in the space you already have. If you are one of many with a goal to connect with the land and create more independence from the industrial food system, Leah can guide you through, step-by-step.

In this week’s episode, Mary and Emma dive deep into the world of plastic consumption and waste management with Lauren Olson, a Zero Waste Manager at World Centric, exploring the world of compostables and the use of plastic in our daily lives. The discussion covers several aspects of the topic, including the difficulties of “zero-waste," how plastic sneaks into our homes even when we are consciously trying to avoid it, and all the ways in which existing systems make it difficult to create true sustainability in our homes. 

Lauren explains the science behind bioplastics, as well as the difference between industrial vs home compostables. She also shares how to determine genuinely compostable products and helps us imagine a cradle to cradle world where waste equals food for the earth, and not the other way around! 

Mary and Emma ask the vital questions, what can we do to work through this monumentally large plastic problem, and is it really possible to achieve the ultimate goal of a zero-waste economy? Lauren gives practical tips for individual action, while encouraging all of us to use our voices as paying consumers to demand change from the top down.

We have a special bonus episode for you this week in celebration of our newest national holiday-- Juneteenth! Mary and Emma reunite with author, historian and farmer Tony Cohen for an exploration into the history of Juneteenth and the holiday’s complex folklore and origins. Tony takes us back in time to examine how this monumental declaration of freedom spread in a variety of ways depending on the geographic, economic and social landscape of the time.

Mary, Emma and Tony pause to reflect upon what freedom means and looks like in the modern era and why society continues to resist a hard look at injustice. Tony points to how altering behavior can feel like giving up our own freedoms and comforts and reminds us that the fair trade movement has deeply historic roots. He also reflects upon the transition from enslavement to the tenant farming system and points to how that system affects us still today. The trio grapples with some hard truths about freedom itself and acknowledges the work still left to be done. 

Tony shares how he celebrates Juneteenth at Button Farm and rejoices in community as he reflects upon the precious ability to gather and take new found enthusiasm into the world.

1:30 - Emma introduces this week’s special episode

3:00 - Tony Cohen on the history of Juneteenth

15:00 - The transition into freedom

Learn about individual actions you can take to mitigate climate change and make sustainability attainable for everyone, with Stephanie Miller, author of Zero Waste Living the 80/20 Way and founder of Zero Waste in DC. Stephanie left her job as a climate change specialist for the World Bank in order to simplify her own life, confront the disconnect she felt between her life and her work, and to take personal steps toward sustainability. She now empowers others in her community to examine their waste practices and connect with local resources for low-waste living.

Stephanie recognizes how paralyzing it can be to think about climate change, and encourages listeners to focus on what she calls the “magic three”: focus on food, ditching plastic, and recycling right, growing more confident and conscious with each choice. The joy and connection that result from low-waste living are paradigm shifting in themselves.

Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podchaser, Podtail, or on your favorite podcast platform.

Topics Covered:

  • The 80/20 Way - Perfection is not the answer
  • Sustainability in Food Choices
  • The greenwashing of “plant-based.” 
  • Sustainable meat production vs standard industrial CAFO operations
  • The problem of food waste
  • Purge Plastic / Easy Alternatives
  • Recycle Right/ the problem of “Wish-Cycling”

Fiber farmer Lisa Mitchell encourages listeners to embrace a beginner’s mindset and connect to the earth through handwork and making as she tells us the story of her major life shift, from striving for success as an art therapist in the suburbs, to slow living on a guanaco farm in the Pacific Northwest. Guanacos, the undomesticated ancestors of the alpaca, produce a unique and high-quality wool, but are often challenging to work with, and are not commonly farmed in the United States. In the absence of mentors and educational resources, Lisa and her husband set about spending significant time learning how to care for these special animals through experience, trial, and error, resulting in a fiber farm producing the highest quality wool on the market. Lisa seeks to “live with her hands” as she creates, and to practice making as an act of love - for the animals she lives alongside, for other people, and for the earth.

Redefining Rich with Shannon Hayes: Embracing Slow Living and Life-Serving Economies 225. Redefining Rich with Shannon Hayes: Embracing Slow Living and Life-Serving Economies Lady Farmer This episode delves into the concept of slow living as a continuous practice that requires constant effort and intentionality. Mary & Emma discuss with Shannon Hayes, author of 'Radical Homemakers' and 'Redefining Rich,' about her journey in slow living, holistic farming, and creating a life-serving economy. Hayes shares her experiences of managing a family farm and restaurant, the backlash from her first book, and the importance of a quality of life statement.

Editing and podcast production by Fast Forward Production. 🌿 The Good Dirt Producers: • Wendy Gray Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy What if the life you're already living is richer than you think?

Shannon Hayes has spent decades asking — and answering — that question. A farmer, author, chef, and mother running three-generation Sap Bush Hollow Farm in the northern Catskill Mountains of New York, Shannon is the kind of person who makes you feel both deeply seen and quietly challenged. In this conversation, she joins Mary & Emma to talk about her book Redefining Rich — a book both of them listened to on Audible and have been recommending ever since — and the ideas within it that have genuinely changed the way they think about work, money, and what a good life actually looks like.

This episode is about more than finances. It's about unlearning the story we've been told about what success is supposed to feel like, and building something more honest in its place — something that honors the soil, the people in your circle, and the quiet, irreplaceable texture of your daily life.

Whether you're in the thick of the working-mom juggle, questioning whether your career aligns with your values, or simply trying to figure out what enough looks like for you — this one will stay with you.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What Redefining Rich is really about — and why Mary & Emma keep coming back to it
  • The "quality of life statement": what it is, why Shannon and her husband have used it as a compass for every major decision, and why Mary & Emma haven't written theirs down yet (but are inspired to)
  • Non-monetary income: the radical idea that time, autonomy, homegrown food, and childcare reciprocity are all forms of wealth
  • Why employment is actually the most expensive form of income — and how self-employment changes the math entirely
  • The life-serving economy vs. the extractive economy, and what it looks like to build something circular and regenerative
  • Shannon's honest, sometimes painful retrospective on writing Radical Homemakers — the hate mail, the co-opting of her words, the anxiety, and what she learned about letting go once a book is in the world
  • The "trad wife" phenomenon and why Shannon finds it deeply at odds with what she actually wrote
  • Why creatives don't need to reach everybody — just the people who need it next
  • Scarcity mindset vs. abundance mindset, and how that shift changes everything from social media to business
  • Slow living as a practice, not an achievement — and why Shannon says it's something you're always working toward
  • The difference between dirt and soil — and what "the good dirt" means to a lifelong farmer

A creator of niche products, Eliza is passionate owner of charcuterie company, HogTree, and is working towards the goal of creating orchard systems that function symbiotically with livestock to replace costly livestock feed. After a time pruning apple trees on an island off the coast of Maine, paired with her time abroad in Germany in apprenticeship with an apple grower and a formative research trip to Asia, the homeland of fruits and nuts, Eliza found her calling and became single- mindedly obsessed with apples. Now she is an advocate for natural wildlife practices and indigenous systems, stressing the importance of eating in season and shying away from global commodities. The conversation includes various types of fruit and nut trees such as pawpaws, mulberry trees, hickory walnuts, acorns, autumn olive and the infamous Bradford Pear, exploring all the ways these beautiful gifts can be nurtured and enjoyed.  Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podchaser, Podtail, or on your favorite podcast platform.

This episode was originally aired April 26, 2024 In this conversation with best selling author and activist Paul Hawken, we discuss the reframing of our relationship with nature by moving away from the concept of "othering" ourselves, and more towards the integration of our interconnectedness. Paul speaks of the cultural disconnect, the role of language in shaping our perception of the environment, and how crucial it is to engage directly with the natural world. Hawken's vast experience, including starting the first natural food company (Erewhon) in the U.S. and working with Martin Luther King Jr., as well as his involvement in founding Regeneration and NEXUS, are all a result of a lifetime of pursuing solutions to our climate crisis. He shares how he views carbon and climate change through a lens of interconnectedness and flow rather than as isolated problems. He also talks about his upcoming book, 'Carbon, the Book of Life,' the significance of soil regeneration, societal shifts and the connection between joy and sustainability as well as the power of individual and community action in the face of environmental challenges. 🌿 This episode is sponsored by Neptune’s Harvest Organic Fertilizer. Use code GOODDIRT at checkout for 5% off your order for products from the ocean to set your plants in motion 🌊 Topics Discussed · Opening Reflections: Embracing Nature and Conversations on Disconnection · Insights from Paul Hawken: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and Nature · Organic Food Pioneer · Finding Your Environmental Voice · Exploring the Language of Nature and Indigenous Wisdom · The Power of Language in Healing Our Relationship with the Planet · Redefining Success and the Essence of Soil · The Transformation of Soil and Agriculture · Ultra Processed Food · Soil's Organism and Its Impact on Plant Health · The Haber-Bosch Process · Exploring Soil Acoustics and Its Significance · The Power of Community and Individual Action · Reconnecting with Nature Outside of the Internet · Sensationalism in Media · Indigenous Voices & Decolonizing Our Perspectives · Innovative Solutions for a Sustainable Future · Joy and Sustainability · Carbon & The Myth of Carbon Neutral · Empowering Actions Through Nexus and Regeneration.org Episode Resources: · Listen to The Good Dirt Podcast “Reimagining Our Place in the Landscape: Eco-Spirituality and Rewilding with Mary DeJong” · Listen to The Good Dirt Podcast “The Urgent Need for Restorative Gardening with Mary Reynolds” · Read “Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation” by Paul Hawken · Read “Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming” by Paul Hawken · Read The Guardian’s Article “Vegetables are losing their nutrients.

Mary & Emma are on a brief hiatus and plan to return next spring. Please enjoy this episode that was originally aired on 11/10/2023. Our guest for today is Jill Winger, creator of The Prairie Homestead who over the last 10 years has influenced thousands of people in rediscovering some of the simpler ways of life–helping people grow their own food, cook healthy meals, raise chickens, bake bread—and SO many other things. And yes, she confesses that an old fashioned life can include modern technology, especially in teaching others through online content creation. But Jill’s mission is more than about teaching skills, it’s about guiding others into slowing down and creating a healthier, more centered, balanced lifestyle that includes our modern realities. Jill started out on a neglected farmstead 40 miles away from the nearest grocery store, and has grown with her passion for practicing this way of life and teaching others how to find it for themselves. She is the author of The Prairie Homestead Cookbook and her latest release: "Old-Fashioned on Purpose: Cultivating a Slower, More Joyful Life". Jill lets Mary and Emma in on her process of content creation for homesteading, running an online business, finding writing once again, and what challenges she's faced in trying to do it all. This episode is for anyone who wants to strike a healthier balance between old-fashioned living and life in the modern world. Topics Discussed • Being a Homesteader • Getting Started without a Background in Farming or Ranching • Finding an Alternative to the Suburban-White-Picket-Fence Dream • Sparks of Inspiration & Knowing • Balancing Old-Fashioned Living with Modern Demands • How Jill's Support System Helps Her "Do It All" • Jill's Team & Task Delegation • How to Get People to Consume Your Content • The Consumer-Creator Relationship • Dealing with Technology Addiction as an Online Business • Creator Sustainability • Boundaries & Intentionality • The Pros and Cons of Homesteading's Growing Popularity • Writing Old-Fashioned on Purpose • Community • Raising Kids in a Homestead Lifestyle • Owning a Restaurant • Outsourcing Where You Can • Herbicide Long-Term Damage and Aminopyralid Poisoning Episode Resources: • Join Us in The ALMANAC  • The Prairie Homestead "how to use eggshells" Blog • The Prairie Homestead "I Think I Poisoned My Garden" Blog • "Old-Fashioned on Purpose: Cultivating a Slower, More Joyful Life" by Jill Winger • "The Prairie Homestead Cookbook: Simple Recipes for Heritage Cooking in Any Kitchen" by Jill Winger • Listen to The Good Dirt "Reclaiming Our Food from Field to Kitchen with CSA Farmer Mo Moutoux of Moutoux Orchard" Connect with Jill Winger: • Website: https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/ • Follow Jill on IG @jill.winger https://www.instagram.com/jill.winger/ • YouTube: https://youtube.com/theprairiehomestead • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theprairiehomestead • Links: https://meet.theprairiehomestead.com/IGlinks ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌻 About Lady Farmer: • Our Website • Follow @weareladyfarmer on Instagram • Join The Lady Farmer ALMANAC • Email us at thegooddirtpodcast@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail!

Our guest for today is Jill Winger, creator of The Prairie Homestead who over the last 10 years has influenced thousands of people in rediscovering some of the simpler ways of life–helping people grow their own food, cook healthy meals, raise chickens, bake bread—and SO many other things. And yes, she confesses that an old fashioned life can include modern technology, especially in teaching others through online content creation. But Jill’s mission is more than about teaching skills, it’s about guiding others into slowing down and creating a healthier, more centered, balanced lifestyle that includes our modern realities.

Jill started out on a neglected farmstead 40 miles away from the nearest grocery store, and has grown with her passion for practicing this way of life and teaching others how to find it for themselves. She is the author of The Prairie Homestead Cookbook and her latest release: "Old-Fashioned on Purpose: Cultivating a Slower, More Joyful Life". Jill lets Mary and Emma in on her process of content creation for homesteading, running an online business, finding writing once again, and what challenges she's faced in trying to do it all. This episode is for anyone who wants to strike a healthier balance between old-fashioned living and life in the modern world.

Mary & Emma are on a brief hiatus and plan to return next spring. Please enjoy this episode that was originally aired on 12/8/2023. We’re talking to Christina Schindler, who after spending 20 years in public education as a teacher and administrator, has embarked on a business venture with her family as the CEO of the Modern Stone Age Kitchen, a restaurant in Chestertown, MD that optimizes nutrition in modern foods through ancestral techniques–creating healthy food for the community.  Christina also serves as President of the Eastern Shore Food Lab, a non-profit that is focused on creating a nourishing, ethical and sustainable food system through education, outreach and research. Most importantly, Christina is a mother of three busy teenagers and is married to Dr. Bill Schindler, author of Eat Like a Human. In this conversation, we’ll be talking about the extraordinary adventures of this enterprising family, from living and traveling abroad to serving their community through this very unique restaurant, and their work with the non-profit. We’ll hear about their food journey as a family, practical tips for healthy eating in a busy modern world with kids, their years long quest for gaining knowledge about ancestral foods–and how you can live in a suburban neighborhood and still accomplish things that most people would think you need to live on 20 acres to do.  This is a wonderful conversation for anyone interested in embracing ultimate health through ancestral food ways –and a great story of how this family has brought it into the context of modern family life and business. Prepare to be inspired by the end of the episode to start eating like a human.

Restoring the Land Through Regenerative Farming with Florence Reed of Sustainable Harvest International Lady Farmer In this episode of The Good Dirt Podcast, hosts Mary Kingsley and her daughter Emma talk with Florence Reed, founder of Sustainable Harvest International, a nonprofit that has worked with smallholder farmers in Central America for over 27 years to adopt regenerative farming practices. In this episode of The Good Dirt Podcast, hosts Mary Kingsley and her daughter Emma talk with Florence Reed, founder of Sustainable Harvest International, a nonprofit that has worked with smallholder farmers in Central America for over 27 years in adopting regenerative farming practices. Florence tells the story of how Sustainable Harvest International got its start, and highlights the importance of healthy soil, biodiversity, and the role of local technical assistance in fostering long-term agricultural transformation.

Wild Homestead Living: From Suburbia to Self-Sufficiency with Park Ranger Julie Stonefelt 215 Lady Farmer Julie, a full-time park ranger and co-founder of Wild Homestead Living with her husband Kevin, shares her journey into homesteading that embraces the wild! How do you pursue homesteading while honoring the wildness of the nature around you? The flowers, animals, and flora that live on the land can impact the way you approach your garden. Julie Stonefelt, a full-time park ranger and co-founder of Wild Homestead Living with her husband Kevin, has sought to live off the land while preserving the natural ecosystem of her 2 acre property in the state of Washington. Despite a suburban upbringing, Julie has spent decades honoring a dream she first had with her childhood best friend. Julie is also a breast cancer survivor, and shares her compelling story of discovery and resilience on her journey "from cancer to country living." Her goal is to support others in moving in the direction of a more sustainable lifestyle, regardless of their location, while understanding and respecting the wildness around us all. Julia emphasizes respecting nature in homesteading, creating resilient, conflict-free gardens, and forming symbiotic relationships with wildlife.

She and her husband Daniel are transforming their own corner of suburbia into a permaculture paradise. They spent all of 2017 doing a hand harvested food challenge, which meant they were eating only hand harvested food right down to salt from the ocean.

In this conversation with Alexia, we hear about the organic growth of their community, their experience with the hand harvested food challenge, and the importance of fostering nature connection through personal grounding practices and educational programs.

The Intersection of Art, Environmental Stewardship and Education with Artist Heidi Lowell 210 Lady Farmer Heidi Lowell discusses her artistic process, her journey learning about natural pigments, her interest in education and the influences of science and nature on her work. Heidi is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Austin, Texas.

She discusses her journey of learning about natural pigments, her artistic process, and the influences of science and nature on her work. We explore the intersection of art, environmental stewardship and education, especially as it comes to Heidi's commitment to sustainability and her efforts to inspire others to connect with the natural world.

Axe & Root Homestead’s Angela Ferraro Fanning on Permaculture and Sustainable Living 203 Lady Farmer Angela shares insights about the evolution of her farm, managing a variety of plants and animals, and implementing permaculture principles into her life as a mother and a lady farmer. Angela Ferraro Fanning built and runs the Axe and Root Homestead in New Jersey. After suffering from postpartum depression, Angela wanted to remove herself from modern day hustle culture and return to nature, growing as much of her own food as possible. She grew from her own private garden to a fully functioning farm, and shares the empowerment that comes along with homesteading with our audience today. Sitting down with Emma and Mary in this follow-up to her original episode “Homesteading is What You Make It”, we catch up with Angela’s progress in running her farm a few years later after she was certified as a permaculturist by Cornell University. Angela shares insights about the evolution of her farm, managing a variety of plants and animals, and implementing permaculture principles into her lifestyle. She talks about publishing her books “The Sustainable Homestead” and the “Little Homesteader” series , growing protein-rich crops as a vegetarian, and raising a family on a farm. She leaves us all with why she believes it is vitally important to remember the legacy we leave for the people who take over the land after we’re gone.

Finding her “why” was key to Amy’s journey as her drive to heal the earth is directly tied to her late father's environmental awareness, and a deep longing for the return of the environment she remembers as a child.

Exploring Eco-Spirituality with Mary & Emma 201. Exploring Eco-Spirituality with Mary & Emma Lady Farmer In this thought-provoking episode, Emma and Mary delve into the concept of eco-spirituality, discussing its origins, significance, and their personal experiences with it. In this thought-provoking episode, Emma and Mary delve into the concept of eco-spirituality, discussing its origins, significance, and their personal experiences with it. They reflect on various interviews they've conducted with guests who have touched on this topic, exploring the integration of spirituality with a love for the earth and nature. The episode is a deep dive into how eco-spirituality informs their work with Lady Farmer and The Good Dirt podcast, and how it serves as a path to healing both personally and globally. Key Points: Introduction to Eco-Spirituality: Eco-spirituality combines the study of ecology and spirituality. Historically, spirituality and nature were never separate until modern times. The separation between humans and nature is perceived, not real. Personal Journeys: Mary shares her spiritual journey and how it led to her interest in eco-spirituality. Emma discusses her observations of environmental changes growing up and her connection with nature. Influential Conversations: Recap of impactful interviews with guests like Ian C. Williams, Paul Hawken, and Asia Suler. Insights on how eco-spirituality involves healing oneself to heal the earth. Themes and Reflections: The importance of language in discussing eco-spirituality. The challenge of integrating spirituality and ecology without perpetuating the idea of separateness. How personal healing practices can contribute to environmental regeneration. Practical Applications: Encouragement to connect with nature daily as a form of grounding and healing. Discussion on how eco-spirituality can be a response to climate change and environmental degradation. Exploring ways to live with eco-spiritual principles in modern society. The role of sacredness and reverence in how we treat the natural world. Resources Mentioned: Ian C. Williams' book, Soil and Spirit, Seeds of Purpose, Nature's Insight and the Deep Work of Transformational Change Asia Suler's book, Mirrors in the Earth: Reflections on Self Healing from the Living World Osprey Orielle Lake's work on climate justice and rights of nature Claire Dunn's experience of living in nature for a year The Good Dirt Episodes Mentioned: Mary DeJong Ian C Williams Asia Suler Leah Rampy Osprey Orielle Lake Pt. 1 & Pt. 2 Claire Dunn 🌻 About Lady Farmer: Subscribe to The ALMANAC, a Lady Farmer Newsletter & Community Visit Our Website Follow @weareladyfarmer on Instagram Email us at thegooddirtpodcast@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail!

Homesteading is a Mindset with Angela Ferraro Fanning of Axe & Root* 200. Homesteading is a Mindset with Angela Ferraro Fanning of Axe & Root* Lady Farmer On today’s episode of The Good Dirt, we’re returning to our chat with Angela Ferraro Fanning of Axe and Root Homestead, a six-acre farm in central New Jersey. Angela shares how she got started with homesteading, balancing motherhood and farm life, and all the highs and lows of living off the land. We also discuss her and her family’s decision to follow a vegetarian diet, and what it means to be a modern homesteader. Plus, Angela gives us details about her exciting side projects, like a cookbook, children’s book series, and podcasting. *This episode is a replay of Episode 64, initially published on October 22, 2021 under the title Homesteading is What You Make It On today’s episode of The Good Dirt, we’re chatting with Angela Ferraro Fanning of Axe and Root Homestead, a six-acre farm in central New Jersey. Angela shares the story of how she went from being a graphic designer to a homesteader in 2012, when she told her husband she'd like to trade her job income for time outside growing food they would no longer have to buy. Now she finds herself balancing a life raising two boys with managing a working farm, as well as authoring a cookbook, a children's book series and hosting a homesteading podcast. In this conversation, we discuss not only the benefits of growing your own food, but the many options available to the modern homesteader. Though the concept of homesteading appeals to a lot of people, the reality of shifting to such a lifestyle is often intimidating and seemingly full of obstacles. Angela explains that homesteading doesn't look the same for everyone, and doesn't have to be defined by what you see when you look out your window. She encourages her followers to begin with the smallest task, such as growing one plant, and taking that longing for connection to food and nature just one step at a time. It doesn't have to involve raising and harvesting your own animals, or all of your food, baking artisan bread or keeping bees. There are likely others in your area that can do all of that. Instead, she says to focus on what interests you, and rely on your community for the rest. The homesteading mindset is about hands-on, local, seasonal living. Join us on today’s episode to hear more about the first steps that Angela took in growing her own food, how she got comfortable with the constant trial and error of homesteading, and how she’s slowly expanding her business through writing and online media.

Though the concept of homesteading appeals to a lot of people, the reality of shifting to such a lifestyle is often intimidating and seemingly full of obstacles. Angela explains that homesteading doesn't look the same for everyone, and doesn't have to be defined by what you see when you look out your window. She encourages her followers to begin with the smallest task, such as growing one plant, and taking that longing for connection to food and nature just one step at a time. It doesn't have to involve raising and harvesting your own animals, or all of your food, baking artisan bread or keeping bees. There are likely others in your area that can do all of that. Instead, she says to focus on what interests you, and rely on your community for the rest. The homesteading mindset is about hands-on, local, seasonal living.</p><p>Join us on today’s episode to hear more about the first steps that Angela took in growing her own food, how she got comfortable with the constant trial and error of homesteading, and how she’s slowly expanding her business through writing and online media.</p><p><strong>Listen to the episode on </strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-good-dirt/id1492217846"><strong>Apple Podcasts</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2lpelAmHPGbMVdOOpxhxTo"><strong>Spotify</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-good-dirt-981565"><strong>Podchaser</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://the-good-dirt.simplecast.com/"><strong>Simplecast</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://podtail.com/en/podcast/the-good-dirt/"><strong>Podtail</strong></a><strong>, or on your favorite podcast platform.</strong></p><p><strong>Topics Covered:</strong></p><ul> <li>A day in the life of Angela </li> <li>The joys and challenges of farm life</li> <li>Getting back to basics and not relying on machinery </li> <li>Homesteading on a plant-based diet </li> <li>Sharing her story and expertise through writing, podcasting, and online courses </li> </ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Guest Info</strong></p><ul> <li><a href="https://www.axeandroothomestead.com/">Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/axeandroothomestead/">Instagram</a></li> <li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-definitely-not-simple-life/id1543790060">The Definitely Not Simple Life Podcast</a></li> <li>The Harvest Table: A Collection of Seasonal Plant- Based Recipes Inspired by the Home Garden</li> <li>Little Country Cottage: An Autumn Treasury of Recipes, Crafts and Wisdom</li> </ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow Us:</strong></p><ul> <li><a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast">Our Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thegooddirtph/">Instagram</a></li> </ul> <br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a> 6db119c2-3331-11ef-b9b2-0b8fafe7bf61 https://www.lady-farmer.com/the-good-dirt-podcast/ Fri, 28 Jun 2024 04:00:00 +0000 2971 no full 199.

Paul Hawken on Carbon, Climate and Connection 191. Paul Hawken on Carbon, Climate and Connection 191 Lady Farmer Paul Hawken, a renowned environmentalist, writer, entrepreneur, and activist, shares how he views carbon and climate change through a lens of interconnectedness and flow rather than as isolated problems. In this conversation with best selling author and activist Paul Hawken, we discuss the reframing of our relationship with nature by moving away from the concept of "othering" ourselves, and more towards the integration of our interconnectedness. Paul speaks of the cultural disconnect, the role of language in shaping our perception of the environment, and how crucial it is to engage directly with the natural world. Hawken's vast experience, including starting the first natural food company (Erewhon) in the U.S. and working with Martin Luther King Jr., as well as his involvement in founding Regeneration and NEXUS, are all a result of a lifetime of pursuing solutions to our climate crisis. He shares how he views carbon and climate change through a lens of interconnectedness and flow rather than as isolated problems. He also talks about his upcoming book, 'Carbon, the Book of Life,' the significance of soil regeneration, societal shifts and the connection between joy and sustainability as well as the power of individual and community action in the face of environmental challenges. 🌿 This episode is sponsored by Neptune’s Harvest Organic Fertilizer. Use code GOODDIRT at checkout for 5% off your order for products from the ocean to set your plants in motion 🌊 Topics Discussed · Opening Reflections: Embracing Nature and Conversations on Disconnection · Insights from Paul Hawken: Bridging the Gap Between Humanity and Nature · Organic Food Pioneer · Finding Your Environmental Voice · Exploring the Language of Nature and Indigenous Wisdom · The Power of Language in Healing Our Relationship with the Planet · Redefining Success and the Essence of Soil · The Transformation of Soil and Agriculture · Ultra Processed Food · Soil's Organism and Its Impact on Plant Health · The Haber-Bosch Process · Exploring Soil Acoustics and Its Significance · The Power of Community and Individual Action · Reconnecting with Nature Outside of the Internet · Sensationalism in Media · Indigenous Voices & Decolonizing Our Perspectives · Innovative Solutions for a Sustainable Future · Joy and Sustainability · Carbon & The Myth of Carbon Neutral · Empowering Actions Through Nexus and Regeneration.org Episode Resources: · Listen to The Good Dirt Podcast “Reimagining Our Place in the Landscape: Eco-Spirituality and Rewilding with Mary DeJong” · Listen to The Good Dirt Podcast “The Urgent Need for Restorative Gardening with Mary Reynolds” · Read “Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation” by Paul Hawken · Read “Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming” by Paul Hawken · Read The Guardian’s Article “Vegetables are losing their nutrients.

Danielle highlights the importance of individual choices in driving change and the challenges of convincing consumers to try unfamiliar foods, difficulties in innovating the food system, and the tendency to embrace simplistic solutions to the problem of ensuring our food supply for the future.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>This Episode is Sponsored by </strong><a href="http://superseeds.com/"><strong>Pinetree Garden Seeds!</strong></a></p><p>Order their seeds today from <a href="http://superseeds.com/">superseeds.com</a> and use our promo code: <strong>GOODDIRT2024</strong> for 20% off your entire order!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Topics Discussed</strong></p><p>· Spring Cleaning</p><p>· Mushroom Meat: What It Is &amp; Its Benefits</p><p>· Foraging &amp; Global Food Systems</p><p>· Journey from the Corporate World to Food Industry</p><p>· Starting a Farm Box Business</p><p>· Structure &amp; Operation of the Farm Box vs. CSAs</p><p>· Accessing Local, Sustainable Food</p><p>· Global Food Supply Chains</p><p>· Viral Content, Awareness, and Social Media Trends</p><p>· Writing About Food</p><p>· The Soybean Industry</p><p>· Innovating Our Food Systems</p><p>· How We Make Our Food Choices</p><p>· Commodity Crops</p><p>· How Policy and Institutions Shape Our Food Choices</p><p>· Challenges in Local &amp; Commodity Scale Production</p><p>· The Struggle with Getting Good Quality Food</p><p>· Being a Flexitarian</p><p><br></p><p><em>Episode Resources:</em></p><p>· <a href="https://illuminatefood.substack.com/p/does-being-resourceful-lead-to-destruction">Illuminate Good Article “<strong>Does Being Resourceful Lead to Destruction?”</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p>Connect with Danielle Schwab:</p><p>· Website: <a href="https://illuminate-food.com/">https://illuminate-food.com</a></p><p>· Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/illuminate_food/">https://www.instagram.com/illuminate_food/</a></p><p>· Links: <a href="https://linktr.ee/illuminatefood">https://linktr.ee/illuminatefood</a></p><p>· Substack: <a href="https://illuminatefood.substack.com/">https://illuminatefood.substack.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━</p><p>🌻 About Lady Farmer:</p><p>· Subscribe to <a href="https://ladyfarmer.substack.com/welcome">The ALMANAC, a Lady Farmer Newsletter &amp; Community</a></p><p>· <a href="https://lady-farmer.com/">Visit Our Website</a></p><p>· Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/weareladyfarmer">@weareladyfarmer</a> on Instagram</p><p>· Email us at <a href="mailto:thegooddirtpodcast@gmail.com">thegooddirtpodcast@gmail.com</a> or leave us a voicemail!</p><p>Call 443-459-1950 and ask a question or share what the good dirt means to you!</p><p>Original music by John Kingsley.

Grow Your Own Food with Nicky and Dave Schauder of Permaculture Gardens 186 Lady Farmer Tune in for this inspiring story of Dave and Nikki Schauder, who transformed their small suburban townhouse lot into a permaculture food forest. In this episode we welcome back Dave and Nicky Schauder to The Good Dirt to reconnect and update our listeners on what’s been happening with their business project, Permaculture Gardens. We talked to them almost four years ago now, in June of 2020, early in lockdown when the buzz about growing your own food was really getting ramped up. Nicky and Dave started Permaculture Gardens to make permaculture and growing food accessible to everyone - especially families! They specialize in education for backyard vegetable gardens, small-space permaculture and indoor gardening solutions. For several years, they grew hundreds of pounds of their own food for themselves and their six children on a small suburban townhouse lot. In this conversation we'll hear about their new location and the innovative new gardening app, Sage, designed to simplify and streamline sustainable gardening practices. Tune in to Dave and Nicky for inspiration on growing your own food, even with limited time and space. This Episode is Sponsored by Pinetree Garden Seeds!

DeJong works with Waymarkers, guiding others through retreats and pilgrimages, with an emphasis on placing Earth first in each decision we make. In this conversation we explore Celtic tradition and the primacy of creation, how the language we use shifts the various hierarchical ladders in our society, and the way that different spiritualities have more in common than we think. We discuss themes of change, belonging, the importance of reimagining our understanding of divinity in relation to the earth, and the power of stories and language in shaping human experience and perception of the natural world.

Cultivating Nature's Wisdom with Herbalist and Author Jane Hawley Stevens 179 Lady Farmer Herbalist and author Jane Hawley Stevens shares her personal journey discovering the magic of herbalism and living in harmony with the earth's rhythms. Organic Farmer and herbalist Jane Hawley Stevens discovered the magic of natural remedies in her personal life before establishing Four Elements Organic Herbals and developing a complete herbal wellness line. Jane and her husband have a 130 acre farm where they have been certified organic since 1990, and take great care to cultivate their plants sustainably. In her new book “The Celestial Garden” Jane shares the wisdom of planting by the moon and by the zodiac, relying on the earth's natural rhythms for guidance not only in the garden but in so many aspects of life. She explains how the movement of the moon through the constellations of the zodiac provides a detailed calendar of optimal times for planting seeds, roots, and transplants, as well as for pruning, weeding, propagation, harvesting, and even starting new projects or taking a rest. In this conversation, we talk about the different methods and traditions of astrological gardening, the importance of listening to your inner guidance, grounding ourselves in the wisdom of elders and living in harmony with the moon and the Earth.

In her book, “The Lost Flock: Rare Wool, Wild Isles and One Woman's Journey to Save Scotland's Original Sheep”, Jane tells the story of the remarkable and rare little horned sheep, known as the Orkney Boreray, and how she moved to one of Scotland’s wildest islands to save them. Finding she was the sole custodian of this lost flock she began investigating their mysterious and ancient history, tracking down the origins of the Boreray breed and its significance to Scotland's natural heritage.From Viking times to Highland crofts and nefarious research experiments in Edinburgh, this is a so-far untold real-life detective story. Join us as we follow Jane’s journey in securing a future for her beloved sheep, and along the way, how she reveals their deep connection to the Scottish landscape.

The Story of Calcium and Why it Matters with Author Korynn Newville 175. The Story of Calcium and Why it Matters with Author Korynn Newville 175 Lady Farmer Korynn shares her perspective on how architecture can honor the earth, why concrete is a bigger problem than we realize, and how our grief around the Earth's suffering can be directed towards its healing. Drywall. Concrete. Limestone. All materials we see in our day-to-day in the buildings we come across and the homes we live in. But did you know that at the core of it all is the element of calcium? Just like the calcium within our bones, the calcium that is extracted from the earth to build homes and skyscrapers is a finite resource that is slowly hurting the soil we all stand in. In this episode, Mary and Emma speak to Korynn Newville, an artist, designer, author, and environmental activist with a Master's in Architecture from the Art Institute of Chicago and a Bachelor of Design from the University of Minnesota. Her thought-provoking book, "Indiscernibile Elements: Calcium", explores the intersection of science, art, design, and nature, urging humans to be more conscious of the natural systems in the built environment. She shares her perspective here — including how architecture can honor the earth, why concrete is a bigger problem than we realize, and how our grief around the Earth's suffering can be directed towards its healing. Korynn will leave you with a new appreciation of the interconnections of all life, by taking us into the world of calcium.

For our Day 1 fans to our New Listeners, we welcome you. To celebrate, Mary and Emma reflect on the top three episodes of the past year and share what their big takeaways were from each one. From Mary Reynolds, a reformed landscape designer advocating for restorative gardening, and Owen Wormser, who shares his expertise on transforming lawns into meadows, to the Maria Rodale's wisdom in <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/love-nature-magic-shamanic-journeys-into-the-heart-of-my-garden-maria-rodale/18834341?ean=9781645021711">Love, Nature, Magic</a>. They also delve into the enlightening conversation with Floris Van Hees and Ivar Smits, Dutch sailing partners on a mission to document positive environmental actions around the world. Join Mary and Emma as they reflect back on the year and look forward to a new beginning.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://thegooddirt-pledgedrive.my.canva.site/pledge-drive"><em>Support The Good Dirt Pledge Drive Here!</em></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Topics Discussed </strong></p><p>· New Years Weekend</p><p>· Looking Back on 2023</p><p>· Mary &amp; Emma's Top Three Episodes of 2023</p><p>· <a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast/mary-reynolds">"<strong>The Urgent Need for Restorative Gardening with Mary Reynolds"</strong></a></p><p>· Acts of Restorative Kindness to the Earth</p><p>· How to Change the Paradigm</p><p>·<a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast/owen-wormser"> "'Lawns into Meadows' with Author Owen Wormser on Regenerative Agriculture"</a></p><p>· <a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast/episode-163">"Sailors for Sustainability Searching for Solutions: A Journey Around the World"</a></p><p>· <a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast/maria-rodale">"Seeking the Wisdom of the Earth with Maria Rodale, author of Love, Nature, Magic: Shamanic Journeys into the Heart of My Garden"</a></p><p>· Looking Ahead to 2024</p><p>· Returning to the Beginning</p><p><br></p><p><em>Episode Resources:</em></p><p>• <a href="https://lady-farmer.com/pages/the-almanac-2023">Join Us in The ALMANAC </a></p><p>•<a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/we-are-the-ark-returning-our-gardens-to-their-true-nature-through-acts-of-restorative-kindness-mary-reynolds/17888319?ean=9781643261782"> "We Are the Ark: Returning Our Gardens to Their True Nature Through Acts of Restorative Kindness" by Mary Reynolds</a></p><p>• <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/lawns-into-meadows-2nd-edition-growing-a-regenerative-landscape-owen-wormser/18521917?ean=9781734901184">"Lawns Into Meadows, 2nd Edition: Growing a Regenerative Landscape" by Owen Wormser </a></p><p>• <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/love-nature-magic-shamanic-journeys-into-the-heart-of-my-garden-maria-rodale/18834341?ean=9781645021711">"Love, Nature, Magic: Shamanic Journeys Into the Heart of My Garden by Maria Rodale</a></p><p>• <a href="https://sailorsforsustainability.nl/">Sailors for Sustainability</a></p><p>• <a href="https://kisstheground.com/">Kiss the Ground Documentary </a></p><p>• <a href="https://rodaleinstitute.org/">The Rodale Institute </a></p><p><br></p><p>━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━</p><p>🌻 About Lady Farmer:</p><p>• <a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast">Our Website</a></p><p>• Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/weareladyfarmer/?hl=en">@weareladyfarmer on Instagram</a></p><p>• <a href="https://lady-farmer.com/pages/the-almanac-2023">Join The Lady Farmer ALMANAC</a></p><p>• Email us at thegooddirtpodcast@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail!

Ancestral Food Ways in Family Life and Business with Christina Schindler of Modern Stone Age Kitchen 171. Ancestral Food Ways in Family Life and Business with Christina Schindler of Modern Stone Age Kitchen 171 Lady Farmer Christina Schindler shares the extraordinary journey of how she and her husband Bill have integrated the practice of ancestral food ways into their modern family life and business. We’re talking to Christina Schindler, who after spending 20 years in public education as a teacher and administrator, has embarked on a business venture with her family as the CEO of the Modern Stone Age Kitchen, a restaurant in Chestertown, MD that optimizes nutrition in modern foods through ancestral techniques–creating healthy food for the community.  Christina also serves as President of the Eastern Shore Food Lab, a non-profit that is focused on creating a nourishing, ethical and sustainable food system through education, outreach and research. Most importantly, Christina is a mother of three busy teenagers and is married to Dr. Bill Schindler, author of Eat Like a Human. In this conversation, we’ll be talking about the extraordinary adventures of this enterprising family, from living and traveling abroad to serving their community through this very unique restaurant, and their work with the non-profit.

Being Old-Fashioned on Purpose with Jill Winger 167. Being Old-Fashioned on Purpose with Jill Winger 167 Lady Farmer Jill Winger shares her passion for living old fashioned on purpose in the midst of homesteading, family life, writing and running an online business. Our guest for today is Jill Winger, creator of The Prairie Homestead who over the last 10 years has influenced thousands of people in rediscovering some of the simpler ways of life–helping people grow their own food, cook healthy meals, raise chickens, bake bread—and SO many other things. And yes, she confesses that an old fashioned life can include modern technology, especially in teaching others through online content creation. But Jill’s mission is more than about teaching skills, it’s about guiding others into slowing down and creating a healthier, more centered, balanced lifestyle that includes our modern realities. Jill started out on a neglected farmstead 40 miles away from the nearest grocery store, and has grown with her passion for practicing this way of life and teaching others how to find it for themselves. She is the author of The Prairie Homestead Cookbook and her latest release: "Old-Fashioned on Purpose: Cultivating a Slower, More Joyful Life". Jill lets Mary and Emma in on her process of content creation for homesteading, running an online business, finding writing once again, and what challenges she's faced in trying to do it all. This episode is for anyone who wants to strike a healthier balance between old-fashioned living and life in the modern world. Topics Discussed • Being a Homesteader • Getting Started without a Background in Farming or Ranching • Finding an Alternative to the Suburban-White-Picket-Fence Dream • Sparks of Inspiration & Knowing • Balancing Old-Fashioned Living with Modern Demands • How Jill's Support System Helps Her "Do It All" • Jill's Team & Task Delegation • How to Get People to Consume Your Content • The Consumer-Creator Relationship • Dealing with Technology Addiction as an Online Business • Creator Sustainability • Boundaries & Intentionality • The Pros and Cons of Homesteading's Growing Popularity • Writing Old-Fashioned on Purpose • Community • Raising Kids in a Homestead Lifestyle • Owning a Restaurant • Outsourcing Where You Can • Herbicide Long-Term Damage and Aminopyralid Poisoning Episode Resources: • Join Us in The ALMANAC  • The Prairie Homestead "how to use eggshells" Blog • The Prairie Homestead "I Think I Poisoned My Garden" Blog • "Old-Fashioned on Purpose: Cultivating a Slower, More Joyful Life" by Jill Winger • "The Prairie Homestead Cookbook: Simple Recipes for Heritage Cooking in Any Kitchen" by Jill Winger • Listen to The Good Dirt "Reclaiming Our Food from Field to Kitchen with CSA Farmer Mo Moutoux of Moutoux Orchard" Connect with Jill Winger: • Website: https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/ • Follow Jill on IG @jill.winger https://www.instagram.com/jill.winger/ • YouTube: https://youtube.com/theprairiehomestead • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theprairiehomestead • Links: https://meet.theprairiehomestead.com/IGlinks ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌻 About Lady Farmer: • Our Website • Follow @weareladyfarmer on Instagram • Join The Lady Farmer ALMANAC • Email us at thegooddirtpodcast@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail!

Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy]]> <p>Our guest for today is Jill Winger, creator of <a href="https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/">The Prairie Homestead </a> who over the last 10 years has influenced thousands of people in rediscovering some of the simpler ways of life–helping people grow their own food, cook healthy meals, raise chickens, bake bread—and SO many other things. And yes, she confesses that an old fashioned life can include modern technology, especially in teaching others through online content creation. But Jill’s mission is more than about teaching skills, it’s about guiding others into slowing down and creating a healthier, more centered, balanced lifestyle that includes our modern realities.</p><p>Jill started out on a neglected farmstead 40 miles away from the nearest grocery store, and has grown with her passion for practicing this way of life and teaching others how to find it for themselves. She is the author of <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-prairie-homestead-cookbook-simple-recipes-for-heritage-cooking-in-any-kitchen-jill-winger/9859985?ean=9781250190192">The Prairie Homestead Cookbook</a> and her latest release: <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/old-fashioned-on-purpose-cultivating-a-slower-more-joyful-life-original-jill-winger/19693367?ean=9780778334217">"Old-Fashioned on Purpose: Cultivating a Slower, More Joyful Life"</a>. Jill lets Mary and Emma in on her process of content creation for homesteading, running an online business, finding writing once again, and what challenges she's faced in trying to do it all.

Talking Trash with Eve Schaub, Author of "A Year of No Garbage" 165. Talking Trash with Eve Schaub, Author of "A Year of No Garbage" 165 Lady Farmer Tune in to the conversation with author Eve O. Schaub for the shocking truth about the pervasive plastic pollution in our soil and bodies, the influence of fossil fuel companies in lobbying for increased plastic production, and the silent epidemic of plastic waste. How many of us consider recycling the answer to plastic pollution? We are sold the idea that it's okay to buy and use these materials because they can be recycled into other things. But these claims are ultimately untrue. 95% of the plastic produced in the world goes directly into the landfill, and essentially stays there forever. The small percentage of materials that make it into the recycling system might find a reuse, but will ultimately end up as trash as well, or be shipped overseas to become someone else's garbage. These are some of the shocking truths that are revealed by Eve O. Schaub In her newest book and experiment, "Year of No Garbage: Recycling Lies, Plastic Problems, and One Woman's Trashy Journey to Zero Waste". In this interview, Eve tells the story of how she convinces her entire family to go a year without producing any garbage. With a family of four, it was already a monumental task, and when the pandemic hit just a few months into the experiment, it became even more challenging. However, throughout it all, Eve and her family remained committed to their goal, resulting in a transformative experience. She shares with Mary and Emma her motivations for taking on this no-garbage challenge, describes her experience, and reflects on the valuable lessons she learned along the way. During this experimental year, Eve gained a wealth of knowledge about the pervasive plastic pollution in our soil and bodies, the influence of fossil fuel companies in lobbying for increased plastic production, and the silent epidemic of plastic waste. Despite the alarming nature of her findings, Eve is able to convey this information with a sense of humor and perspective that gets the message across.. Tune in for an insightful and entertaining discussion that will inspire you to reconsider waste and its impact on our lives.

Schaub In her newest book and experiment, "Year of No Garbage: Recycling Lies, Plastic Problems, and One Woman's Trashy Journey to Zero Waste". In this interview, Eve tells the story of how she convinces her entire family to go a year without producing any garbage. With a family of four, it was already a monumental task, and when the pandemic hit just a few months into the experiment, it became even more challenging. However, throughout it all, Eve and her family remained committed to their goal, resulting in a transformative experience. She shares with Mary and Emma her motivations for taking on this no-garbage challenge, describes her experience, and reflects on the valuable lessons she learned along the way. During this experimental year, Eve gained a wealth of knowledge about the pervasive plastic pollution in our soil and bodies, the influence of fossil fuel companies in lobbying for increased plastic production, and the silent epidemic of plastic waste. Despite the alarming nature of her findings, Eve is able to convey this information with a sense of humor and perspective that gets the message across.. Tune in for an insightful and entertaining discussion that will inspire you to reconsider waste and its impact on our lives.

We are sold the idea that it's okay to buy and use these materials because they can be recycled into other things. But these claims are ultimately untrue. 95% of the plastic produced in the world goes directly into the landfill, and essentially stays there forever. The small percentage of materials that make it into the recycling system might find a reuse, but will ultimately end up as trash as well, or be shipped overseas to become someone else's garbage.

How can we reconnect ourselves to nature, to the plants and animals around us, and the very Earth we walk upon? This is the topic of discussion with our guest Asia Suler, writer, teacher, mother, earth intuitive, ecological philosopher and author of Mirrors in the Earth: Reflections on Self-Healing from the Living World.

Healing the Wounds of Trauma with Princess Manuel, Spiritual Life Coach, Community Herbalist and Founder of LUYA Healing and Herbs. 154 Lady Farmer In this conversation, Princess talks about efforts to decolonize therapy and address the limiting beliefs placed on us all, and explains how nature holds the healing we need for our original attachment and mother wounds. TRIGGER WARNING: Princess Manuel briefly mentions her history with suicidal ideation. If you or someone you know needs help, please contact the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988. Many of us have lost our connection to the Earth through decades of colonization and the pressures of a capitalistic system, and consequently we have lost connection to our community as well. How can we rediscover our way back to each other and the plant and animal life all around us? Princess Manuel, LMSW (she/they/siya/sila), has been pursuing the answer to this question as a Spiritual Life Coach, Community Herbalist, Shamanic Practitioner and Founder of LUYA Healing and Herbs. She is deeply committed to helping communities of color heal generational trauma that presents itself in triggers, exhaustion, lack of motivation and low self-worth. Princess is interested in helping us thrive and rise above victimization and survival, and specializes in mental health wellness with a decolonization and intersectional framework. In this conversation, Princess talks about efforts to decolonize therapy and address the limiting beliefs placed on us all, and explains how nature holds the healing we need for our original attachment and mother wounds. Princess gives us unique insight into the healing wisdom of plant medicines, ancestral technology and somatic practices, animal spirit guides and ritual practices as tools for helping us reconnect with ourselves and the land.

Regenerative Business with Emily Prieto of Seeds of Tao 153. Regenerative Business with Emily Prieto of Seeds of Tao 153 Lady Farmer Emily sits down with Mary and Emma to delve into how the current economy takes but fails to give back, the small changes we can make to be more responsible in our choice of businesses to work with and support, and what buzzwords to look out for in greenwashing marketing practices. In a world where rampant consumerism leads to the exploitation of the Earth's resources, what solutions can we look to for a more sustainable economy? Today's guest, Emily Prieto, co-founder of Seeds of Tao with her husband Joshua Paul Prieto, proposes an alternate path: Regenerative Business. Rather than solely focusing on the bottom line, regenerative business aims to form a circular economy, where production and consumption involve sharing, reusing, and recycling current products as long as possible. As an artist, entrepreneur, regenerative land designer, brand strategist, marketer, and mother of four, Emily advises fellow business owners on how to increase their profits while giving back to the planet. She aims to completely rewrite entrepreneurial education, focusing on local bio-regional issues, because what works in Washington D.C may not work in Argentina. This discussion delves into how the current economy takes but fails to give back, the small changes we can make to be more responsible in our choice of businesses to work with and support, and what buzzwords to look out for in greenwashing marketing practices.

Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy]]> <p>In a world where rampant consumerism leads to the exploitation of the Earth's resources, what solutions can we look to for a more sustainable economy? Today's guest, Emily Prieto, co-founder of Seeds of Tao with her husband Joshua Paul Prieto, proposes an alternate path: Regenerative Business. Rather than solely focusing on the bottom line, regenerative business aims to form a circular economy, where production and consumption involve sharing, reusing, and recycling current products as long as possible.</p><p>As an artist, entrepreneur, regenerative land designer, brand strategist, marketer, and mother of four, Emily advises fellow business owners on how to increase their profits while giving back to the planet. She aims to completely rewrite entrepreneurial education, focusing on local bio-regional issues, because what works in Washington D.C may not work in Argentina.</p><p>This discussion delves into how the current economy takes but fails to give back, the small changes we can make to be more responsible in our choice of businesses to work with and support, and what buzzwords to look out for in greenwashing marketing practices.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Topics Discussed</strong></p><p>• <em>Reishi Powder &amp; Umami</em></p><p>• <a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast/slow-living-through-the-seasons">Slow Living Through the Seasons Podcast</a></p><p>• Regenerative Business &amp; Scaling Impact</p><p>• Building a Circular Economy</p><p>• The Meaning Behind "<a href="https://www.seedsoftao.com/about">Seeds of Tao"</a></p><p>• Taoism</p><p>• Emily's Journey to Panama</p><p>• Permaculture Design &amp; Natural Buildings</p><p>• Bio-Regional Hub</p><p>• Creating a Home Based on the Climate</p><p>• Local Business</p><p>• The Power of Reframing Language</p><p>• Moving Away from the Bottom Line</p><p>• Examples of Regenerative Businesses</p><p>• Tech &amp; Sustainability</p><p>• Greenwashing and Voting with Your Dollars</p><p>• The Types of Businesses Emily Works With</p><p>• Small Businesses, Entrepreneurs, and Solopreneurs vs. Big Corporations</p><p>• What Consumers Need to Know About Marketing</p><p>• Permaculture Land Design</p><p>• Emily and Her Family's Work in the Rainforest</p><p>• Hope in the Face of Eco-Grief</p><p>• Motherhood and Slow Living</p><p><br></p><p><em>Episode Resources:</em></p><p>•<a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast/slow-living-through-the-seasons">Our New Podcast: Slow Living Through the Seasons</a></p><p>•<a href="https://lady-farmer.com/pages/the-almanac-2023">Join <strong>The Good Dirt Supporters Membership Here!</strong></a></p><p>•<a href="https://bookshop.org/a/4727/9781611807240">Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching: A Book about the Way and the Power of the Way</a></p><p>•<a href="https://www.allbirds.com/">Allbirds</a> &amp;<a href="https://www.vivobarefoot.com/us/"> Vivobarefoot</a></p><p><br></p><p>Connect with Emily Prieto:</p><p>• Website: <a href="https://www.seedsoftao.com/about">https://www.seedsoftao.com/about</a></p><p>• Podcast: <a href="https://www.seedsoftao.com/blog">https://www.seedsoftao.com/blog</a></p><p>• Instagram @seeds_of_tao : <a href="https://www.instagram.com/seeds_of_tao/">https://www.instagram.com/seeds_of_tao/</a></p><p>• Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/seedsoftao/">https://www.facebook.com/seedsoftao/</a></p><p>• Support Seeds of Tao: <a href="https://linktr.ee/seedsoftao">https://linktr.ee/seedsoftao</a></p><p><br></p><p>━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━</p><p>🌻 About Lady Farmer:</p><p>•<a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast">Our Website</a></p><p>•Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/weareladyfarmer/?hl=en">@weareladyfarmer on Instagram</a></p><p>•<a href="https://lady-farmer.com/pages/the-almanac-2023">Join The Lady Farmer ALMANAC</a></p><p>•Email us at thegooddirtpodcast@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail!

Transforming the World from the Inside Out with "Soil & Spirit" author Ian C. Williams 152. Transforming the World from the Inside Out with "Soil & Spirit" author Ian C. Williams 152 Lady Farmer Ian sits down with Mary and Emma to go into depth about his own journey towards self actualization, his environmental awakening and his realization that the only way to transform the world is to transform ourselves. What is our work as individuals in creating a more sustainable and regenerative future? Today's guest is Ian C Williams, author of  Soil & Spirit: Seeds of Purpose, Nature’s Insight & the Deep Work of Transformational Change.  In his book, Ian draws the link between the work of self-actualization and the solution to the present day crisis we face both for our planet and for the human race. Years of addiction and recovery forced Ian to relentlessly pursue self-awareness and inner work, guiding him to what he refers to as an “environmental awakening.” All of this, combined with a single mystical experience, led him to an essential discovery: the only way out is in.  This conversation takes us on a deep dive into what our inner work as individuals might be, and how through self exploration and our reconnection with our place in the natural world, we can create cultural transformation from the inside out. In other words, the way to transform the world—is to transform ourselves. Topics Discussed • Self-Actualization • Substance Use Abuse, Addiction, and Recovery • The Impact of Losing a Beloved Pet • Focusing on the Process Over the Outcome • Climate Change & Soil • Diversity Creates Resilience • The Foundation of Spirituality • Internal, Social, External, and Spiritual Landscapes • Environmental Awakening • Reconnecting to Nature Through Experience • Falling in Love with the World • Saving Ourselves to Save the World • Teaching At-Risk Youth to Form Positive Experiences with Nature • Social Justice and Environmental Justice • Reconnecting Corporate America with the Earth • Hope for Humanity's Future • Mass Extinction Events & The Way The Earth Endures • How to Save Yourself on the Individual Basis • The Power of Breath Episode Resources: •Soil & Spirit: Seeds of Purpose, Nature's Insight & the Deep Work of Transformational Change by Ian C.

Come join us for a monthly overview of how to embrace a slower, more sustainable lifestyle, tuning in to our connection with nature as we navigate our way through the year. Welcome to Slow Living Through the Seasons! This is a new monthly podcast hosted by Mary Kingsley of The Good Dirt. Come join us for a monthly overview of how to embrace a slower, more sustainable lifestyle, tuning in to our connection with nature as we navigate our way through the year. Each month we'll be talking about gardening by the moon phases, what's up in the seasonal kitchen as it pertains to our food, whether its growing it, sourcing it, preserving or preparing it. We'll also be talking about how to navigate our cultural holidays and celebrations, and the nature celebrations that we want to integrate into our lives. We’ll be touching on topics that come up in our weekly interviews, and how to approach sustainability and low waste in a world that is very much the opposite of those things. We'll have lots to say about conscious consumerism, how to recognize greenwashing, adopting more regenerative lifestyle practices, how to demonstrate to family and friends that yes, you CAN do lots and lots of things without plastic and be the better for it, how to recharge your mind, body and spirit through more nature connection and SO MANY other things. The more we can bring our awareness to the energy shifts and gifts of each season, the more we can bring our daily lives more into sync with the rhythms of the earth. And in doing that we find ourselves making decisions and adapting our behavior in ways that foster more care for the earth—all with the intention of helping all of us cultivate more slow and intentional living. 🌻 About Lady Farmer: Our Website Follow @weareladyfarmer on Instagram Join The Lady Farmer ALMANAC Email Mary at production@lady-farmer.com or leave us a voicemail!

(Replay #86) Loving the World through Simple Living: Reevaluating our "Needs" with Danielle Alvarado of Sustainably Kind Living 148 Lady Farmer After making the move to Italy to begin her family, Danielle found herself in a small Italian village where sustainable slow-living was simply the norm. Amazed by this new way of life and inspired by her experience in Asia, she began a blog to educate and advocate for a paradigm shift towards simple living. To celebrate Plastic Free July, Mary and Emma are bringing back one of their favorite episodes on sustainable living: episode 86 with Danielle Alvarado which first aired on April 8th, 2022.    Learn to make space for what truly makes you happy using the power of refusal and conscious choice, with Danielle Alvarado of Sustainably Kind Living. Danielle’s educational online collective for the conscious consumer provides alternative resources to the harmful fast fashion, home, and beauty industries. Moved by the horrific stories she heard first hand from garment workers in Southeast Asia, Danielle found her calling by advocating for sustainable fashion and for a rejection of harmful and toxic industrial systems. After making the move to Italy to begin her family, Danielle found herself in a small Italian village where sustainable slow-living was simply the norm. Amazed by this new way of life and inspired by her experience in Asia, she began a blog to educate and advocate for a paradigm shift towards simple living. She now preaches about the power to bypass consumerism by asking, “What truly makes us happy?” and “What defines actual need?” Danielle knows that beneath all of the things we think we want, we are really longing for acceptance and connection back to each other and the Earth. She also knows that if we have the privilege to consider sustainable options, then we have the responsibility to select those options. Ultimately, she argues that slow living is, at its core, a call to show ourselves and the world greater empathy.   Please be advised, this episode contains mention of sexual assault and sexual violence.  Topics Discussed • Sustainable Fashion  • Consumer Culture  • Fast Fashion  • Child Labor  • Social Inequality  • Minimalism • Conscious Consumerism • Slow Fashion • Slow Living Episode Resources: •Elizabeth Kline Good Dirt Episode  •Fashion Revolution  •The True Cost Documentary  •Wildling Shoes  •Plastic Free July •Follow Plastic Free July on Instagram @plasticfreejuly Connect with Danielle Alvarado: • Website: www.sustainablykindliving.com • Instagram @sustainablykindliving and @sustykindliving  • Facebook, Sustainably Kind Living • Facebook, Danielle Alvarado  • Pinterest, Sustainably Kind Living ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌻 About Lady Farmer: •Our Website •Follow @weareladyfarmer on Instagram •Join The Lady Farmer ALMANAC •Email us at thegooddirtpodcast@gmail.com or leave us a voicemail!

Suburban Homesteading with Bailey Van Tassel of The Kitchen Garden Society 146 Lady Farmer In this episode, Emma and Mary sit down with Bailey to discuss her journey, the evolution of her gardening practices, and techniques such as planting by the moon and vermicomposting. Bailey Van Tassel is an entrepreneur and mother of three, who created both the Kitchen Garden Society and the Garden Culture Podcast. She grew up on a hobby farm in Sebastopol, California, but didn't fully appreciate her cowboy parents until she moved away and missed the huge garden, chickens, and pigs that she grew up around. Settling into the suburbs of Southern California meant she couldn't have the same amount of space, but after a challenge from her husband Joe, Bailey went to Home Depot, bought some plants, got her HOA's permission after vowing to share her vegetables, and the rest was history. Bailey's life changed even more once she started to share her journey online, where her passion shifted from hobby to profession. In this episode, Emma and Mary sit down with Bailey to discuss her journey, the evolution of her gardening practices, and techniques such as planting by the moon and vermicomposting. After years of searching for the perfect land to have her farm and garden, Bailey realized that right where she was, was good enough. She wants you to know that you can grow the garden of your dreams in any amount of space – you just need the right info.

Eliza discusses her transition from the life of a touring musician to a teaching job in South Dakota, and the pivotal moment when she walked into a friend's lambing barn during lambing season and realized she had found her calling.</em></p><p><em>Eliza's connection to the land is evident in her stories of life on the ranch and her daily involvement with the animals and natural environment. She has written a book called "Accidental Rancher," which was released last spring. Additionally, she writes and produces audio "postcards" about ranch life for the North and South Dakota NPR affiliates.

Creating Circularity in Construction with Marianna Sparks of Property Pro's 139. Creating Circularity in Construction with Marianna Sparks of Property Pro's Lady Farmer Reshape what the construction industry looks like with sustainable deconstruction, whole house salvage, and building material donations. Our guest today is Marianna Sparks, founder of Property Pro's, a property stewardship company with a mission to foster sustainability in the building industry. Marianna speaks to us today about the difference between demolition and deconstruction. We explore the staggering amounts of waste created by construction demolition every day, and how careful deconstruction offers a sustainable alternative to reuse megatons of building materials. Driven by a desire to facilitate positive change, Marianna is constantly expanding her knowledge of environmental initiatives such as Circularity and Climate Justice. She leverages this knowledge to implement strategies for greater impact in creating more sustainability in a highly wasteful sector of our economy. Her role at Property Pro’s is multi-faceted with valuation, innovation, collaboration, research, participation in trade organizations, problem solving, content and report creation, education, and customer relations at the forefront.

Food for Our Future: Urban Agriculture and Afroecology with Gail Taylor of Three Part Harmony Farm Lady Farmer Gail Taylor from Three Part Harmony Farm discusses her sustainable urban vegetable operation in northeast DC, Afroecology and The Black Dirt Farm Collective "Food as Medicine. Food as Culture. Food for our Future." is the slogan of Three Part Harmony Farm (TPH) owned and operated by Gail Taylor in northeast Washington, D.C.  Three Part Harmony Farm is a diversified vegetable operation using agroecology and sustainable growing methods. They prioritize growing real food for real people. Since 2012 they have cared for a 2-acre plot of land in northeast DC owned by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. The DC site has been in production since 2012 and has 64 permanent beds (1/2 acre of production) using a no-till system. The farm has been an important source of learning local food for the community and learning for aspiring farmers of color in the DMV, especially Black farmers. Taylor is a member of the Black Dirt Farm Collective (BDFC), a group of farmers, academics, organizers, builders, and food entrepreneurs who own 24.5 acres in Brandywine, MD. The land is being developed to increase their offerings of food and black agrarian educational opportunities to individuals and organizations that wish to reconnect with their roots as Afro-descendant agrarian people. The collective created a written curriculum as a companion guide to their signature Afroecology training program which they use during Afroecology Encounters.

Seeking Solutions to Waste in the School Supply Industry with Wisdom Supply Co. 135 Lady Farmer The school supply industry is filling our oceans and landfills with megatons of TRASH and consumers CAN choose to refuse, thanks to the paradigm shifting innovations of people like these two creative and passionate entrepreneurs.

The school supply industry is filling our oceans and landfills with megatons of TRASH and consumers CAN choose to refuse, thanks to the paradigm shifting innovations of people like these two creative and passionate entrepreneurs. This was another great conversation where our guests really tell it like it is. Heather Itzla and Nikki Kozlowski came together over their grave concern about plastic pollution. After many years of clean-ups, data collection and public education, they came to understand the scale of the problem. The amount of plastic produced annually outweighs all of humanity, and is now firmly documented in our air, soil, and water. Before they teamed up, Nikki was working to educate consumers on the massive amounts of waste coming from the restaurant industry. Heather, being a parent, and frustrated with the annual back-to-school prescription of cheap, disposable plastic supplies, had crowdfunded and stocked each classroom with plastic-free school supplies. The next step was to come together as co-founders of Wisdom Supply Co (B-Corp certified) to design Plastic-Free, Vinyl-Free + Spiral-Free School + Office supplies..." because the mass production of products creating permanent waste is outdated, shortsighted, and reckless." The more Wisdom Supply Co. grows, the more waste is prevented, and the more young minds are opened to an empowering new way of thinking about how everyday products are designed, and the absurdity of wasting / polluting the resources all life on earth depends on.

How Smokey the Bear Changed America: The Importance of Grasslands with Kyle Lybarger of The Native Habitat Project 125 Lady Farmer Today's guest is Kyle Lybarger, a forester and conservationist from north Alabama. His passion is identifying, protecting, and managing the overlooked grassland ecosystems in his region and educating the public about the environmental value and climate benefits of these native plants. Most people don't realize that so many of our forested areas were once actually native grasslands that were maintained by the grazing of native animal life and the management practices of the native people. In this conversation, Kyle also explains the importance of fire in land management, both the naturally occurring fires and those that indigenous people practiced to sustain local food systems. Tune in to hear Kyle's take on Smokey the Bear, rewilding and the "no-mow" movement, how our domestic landscape has shifted here in the United States and what we can all do to reinvigorate our land and secure our food system.

Food Waste Solutions: How Home Composting Can Be Easy with Jeremy Lang of Pela 120 Lady Farmer Our guest today is Jeremy Lang of Pela, the company that started with a product that you hold every day - the world’s first compostable phone case. Jeremy had the courage to spend years experimenting with new materials to try and find an alternative to plastic that could be used in everyday products. Our guest today is Jeremy Lang of Pela, the company that started with a product that you hold every day - the world’s first compostable phone case. Jeremy had the courage to spend years experimenting with new materials to try and find an alternative to plastic that could be used in everyday products. Pela’s mission is to make sustainable products the new normal and they recently launched another product, a home countertop composter called Lomi to help solve the food waste and plastic problem. Lomi became the most successful cleantech crowdfunding campaign of all time, raising over $9M. Pela and Lomi are now creating a waste innovation category with a goal of eliminating 10 billions pounds of waste on their mission to create a waste-free future, a testament to Jeremy’s belief in creating businesses as a force of good– to leave the world a better place.  We are so much in awe of Jeremy and the innovative technologies he has spearheaded through his company and products. In this episode, we're hearing and talking about new technologies that are already addressing some of our most pressing problems and have given us real hope that some things are moving in the right direction. Topics discussed: The story of Pela and how it started with compostable phone cases  How Pela came up with a home composter The problem of food waste Food waste as a valuable natural resource "Wasting food" vs food waste or food scraps The Lomi home composter From food waste to good dirt Home composter reduces the weight of food waste by 70%   Trials with taking the Lomi compost dirt straight to farms  Demographics of those using the home composter  How the home composter is carbon neutral  End-of-life plan for the home composter Responsibility Economy Cutting out the compost facilities with the home composter The Lomi-approved certification program Compostable materials for everyday life increasing with consumer demand Responsibility of the consumer vs. responsibility of the manufacturer The issue of plastic water bottles being recycled into clothing Can technology help with the current problem of plastic on the planet?

Urban Growers Collective (UGC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that was co-founded by Laurell Sims and Erika Allen in the fall of 2017.

Urban Growers Collective (UGC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that was co-founded by Laurell Sims and Erika Allen in the fall of 2017. Working closely with community partners, their approach is to demonstrate and to support communities in developing systems of their own where food is grown, prepared, and distributed within the community itself. Urban Grower's Collective operates 8 urban farms on 11 acres of land, predominantly located on Chicago’s South Side. These farms are production-oriented but also offer opportunities for staff-led education, training, leadership development, and food distribution. Each farm utilizes organic growing methods, intensive growing practices, and year-round production strategies to best maximize growing space. In this conversation, we talk about the numerous programs operating within UGC that are helping not only to bring food to underserved areas but to facilitate youth involvement and outreach programs for positive community impact.  Laurell is active in the Chicago Food Policy Action Council and formerly served on the Board of Directors for Slow Food Chicago and Green City Market. In 2011, Laurell was selected as a Bold Food Fellow, a State Department exchange with farmers from Uganda and Kenya, and has managed development projects with urban farms in Haiti.

Brandi makes a living out of making connections. Today we're talking to Brandi Stanley, host of the podcast This Plus That. Brandi makes a living out of making connections. If creativity is the ability to connect the seemingly un-connectable, that’s the art she practices. In love with the space between things—the intersections and the paradoxes—she's constantly looking for what insights can be gained when we mash the unexpected together and the growth that happens when we learn to hold complexity.  We had a great time talking with Brandi about so many things, from the hustle culture to church history, from empty calories as a metaphor to the gift economy, and of course all of the good dirt in between all of it. If you enjoy “connecting the dots” as they say, and discovering how much more we all have in common with each other than we think, then you’ll love this conversation.

A Return to Regenerative: The Story of White Oak Pastures Farm with Jenni Harris 117. A Return to Regenerative: The Story of White Oak Pastures Farm with Jenni Harris 117 Lady Farmer Today our guest is Jenni Harris, daughter of Will Harris and 5th generation Harris family member at White Oak Pastures. In the mid-90s, her father Will Harris recognized the problems in late 20th-century agriculture and decided to take his whole operation back to the days of his great-grandfather. He gave up chemical inputs and animal confinement farming and began implementing regenerative farming before it was even a word. White Oak pasture-raises 10 species of livestock, eggs, organic vegetables, and honey on almost 5,000 acres of land and does it in what they call a “radically traditional way.” Jenni is here to talk to us about White Oak Pastures and how they have continued to evolve as an online source for high-quality meat while maintaining not only a commitment to land stewardship and sustainability but to their rural community as well.

In this conversation, we’re talking about fundamental shifts in many of our most basic assumptions about our relationship with each other and the environment, and the role each of us plays in the way forward towards a worldwide, life-supporting community.  </p><p>Listen to the episode on<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-good-dirt/id1492217846"> Apple Podcasts</a>,<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2lpelAmHPGbMVdOOpxhxTo"> Spotify</a>,<a href="https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-good-dirt-981565"> Podchaser</a>,<a href="https://podtail.com/en/podcast/the-good-dirt/"> Podtail</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vICp_ltnSXg&amp;list=PLvDK7OzPMsJUXQDwqF7LN2pBTUBThKFim">Youtube</a>, or on your favorite podcast platform.</p><p><strong>Topics Covered:</strong></p><ul> <li>How Andrew came to his interest in ecology through religion</li> <li>How The Institute for Ecological Civilization came into being</li> <li>Explanation of The Institute for Ecological Civilization and its mission</li> <li>The Centrality of the Human Experience</li> <li>Genesis as a directive for the human role in the web of creation</li> <li>Deep Ecology</li> <li>Are we fighting for human survival or earth's survival?</li> <li>EcoCiv partners and programs</li> <li>Where are the solutions?

Norris is a fifth-generation homesteader who believes in keeping the old ways alive and that food shouldn't come from a box. She lives on a 15-acre farm in Washington state with her husband and two children, and together they raise 100% of their own meat and a majority of the fruits and vegetables they consume in a year. Melissa doubled-down on her homesteading journey after a chronic health issue caused her to look at the foods she was eating every day. She decided she could save money and be healthier if she grew and preserved her own food rather than purchasing pre-packaged food items. From this, she’s built a homesteading empire, with a podcast, multiple books, and an online education platform with over a thousand members. Melissa's passion is to teach others the skills of the homesteading and simple life movement, no matter where you live. In this conversation, we talk about the concept of convenience and how it is used against us - especially in the food industry - as well as small, attainable steps you can take to begin your homesteading journey.

Guanacos, the undomesticated ancestors of the alpaca, produce a unique and high-quality wool, but are often challenging to work with, and are not commonly farmed in the United States.

Celebrating Heritage Breeds and Regenerative Farming with Photographer Aliza Eliazarov 87 Lady Farmer What do heritage livestock breeds have to do with sustainable and regenerative farming practices? For Aliza Eliazarov, photography was the discipline that helped her to confront the disconnect she felt with her relationship to her food sources and the land, and opened the door to the importance of preserving heritage breeds and supporting the regenerative farms that are raising them. Join us as we talk with Aliza, author of “On the Farm” a photo book about heritage livestock breeds, about her stunning livestock portraiture, our shared love of animals, and the benefits of raising heritage and rare animal breeds in contrast with conventional farming practices.

Since then, she has made portraits of all kinds of farm animals, from ducks to bison. Her work takes animals out of the context of the farm, focusing on the animals themselves and giving the viewer the opportunity to consider the role that these animals might play in their lives. Aliza believes that slow living comes easier through the observation and companionship of animals.

Aliza believes that slow living comes easier through the observation and companionship of animals.

For Aliza Eliazarov, photography was the discipline that helped her to confront the disconnect she felt with her relationship to her food sources and the land, and opened the door to the importance of preserving heritage breeds and supporting the regenerative farms that are raising them. Join us as we talk with Aliza, author of “On the Farm” a photo book about heritage livestock breeds, about her stunning livestock portraiture, our shared love of animals, and the benefits of raising heritage and rare animal breeds in contrast with conventional farming practices. </p><p>Aliza’s livestock photography career began when she noticed chickens in a community garden in New York city and decided to start photographing them. Since then, she has made portraits of all kinds of farm animals, from ducks to bison. Her work takes animals out of the context of the farm, focusing on the animals themselves and giving the viewer the opportunity to consider the role that these animals might play in their lives.

Loving the World through Simple Living: Reevaluating our "Needs" with Danielle Alvarado of Sustainably Kind Living 86 Lady Farmer Learn to make space for what truly makes you happy using the power of refusal and conscious choice, with Danielle Alvarado of Sustainably Kind Living.

Danielle’s educational online collective for the conscious consumer provides alternative resources to the harmful fast fashion, home, and beauty industries. Moved by the horrific stories she heard first hand from garment workers in Southeast Asia, Danielle found her calling by advocating for sustainable fashion and for a rejection of harmful and toxic industrial systems. After making the move to Italy to begin her family, Danielle found herself in a small Italian village where sustainable slow-living was simply the norm. Amazed by this new way of life and inspired by her experience in Asia, she began a blog to educate and advocate for a paradigm shift towards simple living. She now preaches about the power to bypass consumerism by asking, “What truly makes us happy?” and “What defines actual need?” Danielle knows that beneath all of the things we think we want, we are really longing for acceptance and connection back to each other and the Earth. She also knows that if we have the privilege to consider sustainable options, then we have the responsibility to select those options. Ultimately, she argues that slow living is, at its core, a call to show ourselves and the world greater empathy.   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podchaser, Podtail, or on your favorite podcast platform.

After a time pruning apple trees on an island off the coast of Maine, paired with her time abroad in Germany in apprenticeship with an apple grower and a formative research trip to Asia, the homeland of fruits and nuts, Eliza found her calling and became single- mindedly obsessed with apples. Now she is an advocate for natural wildlife practices and indigenous systems, stressing the importance of eating in season and shying away from global commodities. The conversation includes various types of fruit and nut trees such as pawpaws, mulberry trees, hickory walnuts, acorns, autumn olive and the infamous Bradford Pear, exploring all the ways these beautiful gifts can be nurtured and enjoyed.

Seized by a vision of farming in collaboration with nature, rather than against it, they began their mission of creating a place that honored not only their desire to grow their own food, but also the needs of the land and the animals, all working and thriving in a collaborative community. The whole story of how they unexpectedly became farmers and created a viable and sustainable working farm using their own combination of regenerative and rewilding practices is soon to be available in their upcoming book “Our Wild Farming Life: Adventures on a Scottish Highland Croft”. Lynn’s message - looking back doesn’t have to mean going back. Let the land do the leading and don't be afraid to rewild yourself along the way.  Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podchaser, Podtail, or on your favorite podcast platform.

Creating a Sustainable Lifestyle through Tiny House Living and Conscious Consumerism with Ryan Mitchell of The Tiny Life 75 Lady Farmer Join the minimalist movement, and design a simple, sustainable lifestyle that provides freedom from debt, consumerism, and cultural expectations. Our guest today is Ryan Mitchell, creator of The Tiny Life, who started his minimalist journey by challenging the American dream and having the courage to ask, what does the life I really want to live actually look like? He began by moving into his self built tiny house in 2012, sharing his journey along the way and connecting with other like-minded tiny house enthusiasts. This passion ultimately created a business that sustained his dream of an independent, pared down, low cost life – one deeply rooted in an understanding of slow living and the power of conscious choices.

This passion ultimately created a business that sustained his dream of an independent, pared down, low cost life – one deeply rooted in an understanding of slow living and the power of conscious choices. Ryan simplified his life by pausing to examine how he spent his time, money, and resources. He is now a life simplification expert and encourages everyone he meets to build a habit of questioning norms and stopping to think critically about your choices as a consumer. The key to minimalist living is to mindfully observe how you move through your life, how you use your resources, your time and your living spaces. Be bold and challenge assumptions. On the other side of hard decisions and self observation is a small, simple life that supports you and the planet.   Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podchaser, Podtail, or on your favorite podcast platform.

On the other side of hard decisions and self observation is a small, simple life that supports you and the planet.  </p><p>Listen to the episode on<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-good-dirt/id1492217846"> Apple Podcasts</a>,<a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2lpelAmHPGbMVdOOpxhxTo"> Spotify</a>,<a href="https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-good-dirt-981565"> Podchaser</a>,<a href="https://podtail.com/en/podcast/the-good-dirt/"> Podtail</a>, or on your favorite podcast platform.</p><p>Topics Covered:</p><ul> <li>Tiny Homes</li> <li>The Tiny House Movement </li> <li>Homesteading</li> <li>Simple Living </li> <li>Minimalism</li> <li>Marketing “PAS” - Identity the <strong>Problem</strong>, <strong>Agitate</strong> the Consumer, Present a <strong>Solution</strong> </li> <li><a href="https://www.thoughtco.com/maslows-hierarchy-of-needs-4582571">Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs</a></li> </ul><p><br></p><p>Resources Mentioned: </p><ul> <li> <a href="https://lady-farmer.com/collections/books/products/the-lady-farmer-guide-to-slow-living">Lady Farmer Guide to Slow Living</a> CODE????</li> <li><a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/news/7-days-of-easy-real-food-winter-meals?_pos=3&amp;_sid=27c45185c&amp;_ss=r">Blog Post - 7 Day’s of “Real Food” Winter Meals</a></li> <li> <a href="https://thetinylife.com/">The Tiny Life</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tiny-House-Living-Building-Square/dp/1440333165/ref=asc_df_1440333165/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=312172766117&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=9371257059991367187&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9061286&amp;hvtargid=pla-627153831752&amp;psc=1"><em>Tiny House Living: Ideas For Building and Living Well In Less Than 400 Square Feet </em>by Ryan Mitchell </a></li> <li>“If you will live like no one else, later you can live like no one else.” - Dave Ramsey</li> <li><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/4727/9780316452502">“Children of Time” by Adrian Tchaikovsky</a></li> <li><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/4727/9780593138762">“The Comfort Crisis” by Michael Easter </a></li> <li><a href="https://bookshop.org/a/4727/9781569243732">“Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart” by Gordon Livingston </a></li> <li>Use code THEGOODDIRT for free shipping on <a href="https://lady-farmer.com/discount/THEGOODDIRT?redirect=%2Fproducts%2Fthe-lady-farmer-guide-to-slow-living">The Lady Farmer Guide to Slow Living</a> in the Lady Farmer Marketplace</li> </ul><p><br></p><p>Guest Info</p><ul> <li>Connect with Ryan at <a href="https://thetinylife.com/">thetinylife.com</a> </li> <li>Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thetinylifedotcom/">@thetinylifedotcom</a> </li> <li>Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/the_tiny_life">@the_tiny_life</a> </li> </ul><p><br></p><p>Follow Us:</p><ul> <li><a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast">Our Website</a></li> <li>@weareladyfarmer on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thegooddirtph/">Instagram</a> </li> </ul><p><br></p><p>Original music by John Kingsley @jkingsley1026</p><p>Statements in this podcast have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and are not to be considered as medical or nutritional advice.

Nurturing a Dream: Caring for the Land and Community with Ashli Johnson and Lisa Hinton of Old Westminster Winery 74 Lady Farmer Where does land stewardship and regeneration, natural wine production, sustainable farming practices and local community collaboration come together? On today’s episode of The Good Dirt, Mary and Emma talk with sisters Lisa Hinton and Ashli Johnson of Old Westminster Winery in Westminster, Maryland. Where does land stewardship and regeneration, natural wine production, sustainable farming practices and local community collaboration come together? On today’s episode of The Good Dirt, Mary and Emma talk with sisters Lisa Hinton and Ashli Johnson of Old Westminster Winery in Westminster, Maryland. Their story begins in 2008; when the family was unable to sell their farm, they united instead behind a vision of preserving it and putting the land into a thriving, sustainable and regenerative operation. They agreed that growing and making wines was an idea worth pursuing, and thus the dream of planting a vineyard was born.  Ten years later, Lisa, Ashli, and their brother Drew, are on a mission to craft distinctive wines with a sense of place. Through trial and error, and in collaboration with other growers to proudly represent their region and it’s beautiful varieties, they have been able to develop a style of wine linked to the land and the seasons in an intimate and intentional way. Hand-harvesting 30,000 bottles annually, their wines are alive, vibrant, and uniquely local. With a holistic approach to sustainability, this family business is all about creating a great product while taking care of their land and their community.

Mitigating Climate Change Through Home Agroecology: From Lawns to Ecosystems with Justin West 72. Mitigating Climate Change Through Home Agroecology: From Lawns to Ecosystems with Justin West 72 Lady Farmer You can begin healing the planet, improving your health and mitigating climate change right outside your door! On today’s episode of The Good Dirt we sit down with Justin West, the creative entrepreneur behind Thrive Lot – a marketplace platform on a mission to create food abundance by combining agroecology, landscape design and technology. You can begin healing the planet, improving your health and mitigating climate change right outside your door! On today’s episode of The Good Dirt we sit down with Justin West, the creative entrepreneur behind Thrive Lot – a marketplace platform on a mission to create food abundance by combining agroecology, landscape design and technology. Thrive Lot seeks to reimagine the lawn care industry by scaling permaculture and installing ecosystems into our very own yards. But to do so requires a shift in our collective idea of what we consider lawn care. We can create habitats for wildlife, regenerate the soil, reduce our carbon footprint and mitigate climate change by reimagining our lawns as a place where we grow our own food, produce medicinal herbs, fruit trees and vibrant ecosystems. With over 40 million acres of lawn in the United States - the largest single irrigated crop - it’s a concept ripe with potential, which is why we’re so excited to share our conversation with Justin as he dreams of a future where home agroecology is the norm, and where “good dirt” heals the world.  Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podchaser, Simplecast, Podtail, or on your favorite podcast platform. Topics Covered: Agroecology--is the application of ecological concepts and principals in farming, combined to create a type of farming that is sustainable and in cooperation with nature.  Permaculture--the development of agricultural ecosystems that are self-sufficient and sustainable, drawing from an observation and imitation of systems in nature and resulting in crop diversity, resilience, increased natural productivity, less human intervention and more sustainability.   Carbon sequestration is "...the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. It is one method of reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with the goal of reducing global climate change."

Join us as we share a bit about our own experiences with gift giving as well as how we can be mindful with our spending and purchasing behaviours during the holiday season.

It is important that we find gifts that are not going to be harmful to the planet or yourself, your own health or anyone else involved in the supply chain or the production of it. It’s time to stop before you shop and ask yourself: Do I really need this? Is there a more sustainable option? You're in for something a little different this Friday...it's a solo show with Mary and Emma! At Lady Farmer, we're always thinking about ways to shift our thinking to live into a more slow and sustainable lifestyle, and today is a great opportunity to do just that. What if Black Friday became Slow Friday, and what would that look like? Join us on this week’s episode of The Good Dirt as we share a bit about our own Christmas memories and experiences with gift-giving as well as how we're thinking about being more mindful with our consumer habits during the holiday season.

Regenerative Education & Rust Belt Fibershed with Jess Boeke and Sarah Pottle 68 Lady Farmer Welcome to this week’s episode of The Good Dirt Podcast where we we will hear from twin sisters Jess Boeke and Sarah Pottle of the Rust Belt Fibershed. This dynamic duo works as a team promoting ethical fashion and the use of natural dyes through their project, Drift Lab Textile Co. Additionally, they share this information with Rust Belt Fibershed — a bioregional textile community growing hope and resilience through local fibers, local colors, and local labor. Today we will learn more about how we can enable societal transformation by focusing on our relationship between people and the Earth, exploring the impact of the clothing and textile industry on the environment and reimagining the priorities of our current educational system. We will also speak to Sarah and Jess about what they envision for the future, their hopes and aspirations, and the healing potential of regenerative education for individuals and society.

Jess is an educator and fiber artist who has been working with natural dyes since 2008. Born and raised in Ohio, Cleveland, she is known for engaging and educating communities on the importance of local labor, dyes, and the carbon impacts of our soil-to-soil textile industry. In her teachings, she has inspired others on the promotion of ethical fashion and the importance of regenerative learning. Her twin sister, Sarah has personally coached hundreds of teachers through thousands of lessons in high-quality, equitable instruction. Her desire to create transformational systems change has led her on a daunting journey with her twin sister of slow living and sustainable fashion, spreading awareness on regenerative learning education in the Rust Belt Cities. Today we will learn more about how we can focus our relationships between people and the Earth in order to enable transformation in our society, explore the impact of the clothing and textile industry on climate change and incorporate more environmental teachings in the classroom.

We speak with this dynamic duo on a multitude of topics, touching on ways to shift and expand our mindsets towards a more sustainable paradigm. Jess is an educator and fiber artist who has been working with natural dyes since 2008. Born and raised in Ohio, Cleveland, she is known for engaging and educating communities on the importance of local labor, dyes, and the carbon impacts of our soil-to-soil textile industry. In her teachings, she has inspired others on the promotion of ethical fashion and the importance of regenerative learning. Her twin sister, Sarah has personally coached hundreds of teachers through thousands of lessons in high-quality, equitable instruction. Her desire to create transformational systems change has led her on a daunting journey with her twin sister of slow living and sustainable fashion, spreading awareness on regenerative learning education in the Rust Belt Cities.</p><p>Today we will learn more about how we can focus our relationships between people and the Earth in order to enable transformation in our society, explore the impact of the clothing and textile industry on climate change and incorporate more environmental teachings in the classroom. We will also speak to Sarah and Jess about what they envision for the future, their hopes and aspirations, and how we can continue to promote regenerative education learning in the classroom.</p><p><strong>Listen to the episode on </strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-good-dirt/id1492217846"><strong>Apple Podcasts</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2lpelAmHPGbMVdOOpxhxTo"><strong>Spotify</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vdGhlLWdvb2QtZGlydC8"><strong>Google Podcasts</strong></a><strong>, or on your favorite podcast platform.</strong></p><p><strong>Topics Covered:</strong></p><ul> <li>What is regenerative living for modern families?</li> <li>How we can incorporate more environmental teachings in the classroom. </li> <li>The impact of the clothing and textile industry on climate change.</li> </ul><br><p><strong>Resources Mentioned &amp; Guest Info:</strong></p><ul> <li><a href="http://www.driftlabtextileco.com/about">Drift Lab Dye Studios</a></li> <li><a href="https://rustbeltfibershed.com/who-we-are">Rust Belt Fibershed</a></li> <li>Connect with Jess and Sarah on their company <a href="https://groundedteaching.com/">website</a>.</li> <li>If you're involved in the educational system (teacher, substitute, principal, para, school counselor, involved parent) and you want to know more about how we're trying to shift the educational paradigm away from a mechanical one towards one that's filled with more life, you can check out their podcast <a href="https://groundedteaching.com/podcast">Regenerative Ed</a>.</li> <li>Check out their <a href="https://groundedteaching.com/workshops">workshops here.</a> </li> </ul><br><p><strong>Follow Sarah &amp; Jess: </strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/groundedteaching/">@groundedteaching</a></li></ul><br><p><strong>Follow Us:</strong></p><ul> <li><a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast">Our Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thegooddirtph/">Instagram</a></li> </ul><br><p><strong>Credits:</strong></p><p>Original music by John Kingsley - @jkingsley1026</p> <br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a> 010b15d1-df4b-43d5-a539-85a08182c7fa https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast/Jess-Boeke-Sarah-Pottle Fri, 19 Nov 2021 10:00:00 +0000 4004 no full 67.

Green Burial: Rethinking Death Practices with Heidi Hannapel of Bluestem Conservation Cemetery 65. Green Burial: Rethinking Death Practices with Heidi Hannapel of Bluestem Conservation Cemetery 65 Lady Farmer Welcome to this week’s episode of The Good Dirt Podcast where we speak to Heidi Hannapel about conservation burials and alternatives to conventional death practices. As the co-founder of Landmatters, a multidisciplinary consulting firm committed to healthy communities in sustainable landscapes, and Bluestem Conservation Cemetery, she works to educate individuals on conservation solutions that allow for economic opportunity, environmental health, cultural heritage, and human wellbeing. Join us on this week’s episode as we learn more about conservation burials, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as how green burials can lessen our generation’s impact on the environment and encourage land conservation. We will also be speaking to Heidi about her work with Landmatters, including the coaching services that she offers for nonprofits and community members. Stay tuned to learn more! Today we're talking with Heidi Hannapel, cofounder of the Bluestem Conservation Cemetery, about options for green burial. We're also taking a look at our modern approach to death and the practices that surround it. Heidi and her business partner Jeff Masten are land conservationists and conservation burial specialists, concerned with the degradation of our planet through wasteful burial practices. They are committed to offering an alternative to conventional burial, working on green burial initiatives specifically tied to land conservation, encouraging a way of caring for the dead with minimal environmental impacts. Through the establishment of Bluestem, Heidi and Jeff's vision is to establish the concept of conservation burial as a tool for protecting natural lands, wildlife and plant species, creating healing green spaces and increasing community connections to nature, and creating opportunities for those seeking green burial options for themselves and their loved ones. In addition, we talk to Heidi about her personal journey with death practices and conventions, inspired by the time she spent being present to her own mother's illness and death in 2015. This experience left her with the realization that death and loss are shared human experiences worthy of active participation, both before the passing of the loved one and in the sacred space between death and burial. Our modern customs often separate us not only from the process of dying itself, but also from the opportunity to experience the the hours and days after the passing as an opportunity for powerful healing. Modern burial procedures also separate us from the processes of nature, in which remains of the deceased continue to be part of the natural life cycle of the planet. The idea behind rethinking our cultural death practices and considering green burial, and as in the case of Bluestem Conversation Cemetery conservation burial, is that human death be honored and embraced as a sacred passage, "where nature is enough." Join us on this week’s episode as we learn more about green burials and how they can contribute to land conservation efforts and lessen our impact on the environment. Stay tuned to learn more!

The idea behind rethinking our cultural death practices and considering green burial, and as in the case of Bluestem Conversation Cemetery conservation burial, is that human death be honored and embraced as a sacred passage, "where nature is enough." </p><p>Join us on this week’s episode as we learn more about green burials and how they can contribute to land conservation efforts and lessen our impact on the environment. </p><p>Stay tuned to learn more!</p><p><strong>Listen to the episode on </strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-good-dirt/id1492217846"><strong>Apple Podcasts</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2lpelAmHPGbMVdOOpxhxTo"><strong>Spotify</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-good-dirt-981565"><strong>Podchaser</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://the-good-dirt.simplecast.com/"><strong>Simplecast</strong></a><strong>, </strong><a href="https://podtail.com/en/podcast/the-good-dirt/"><strong>Podtail</strong></a><strong>, or on your favorite podcast platform.</strong></p><p><strong>Topics Covered:</strong></p><ul> <li>Green burial options/reducing environmental impact</li> <li>Integration of life and death through conservation areas</li> <li> Death doulas </li> <li>Home funerals and home burials</li> <li>Hybrid cemeteries </li> </ul><br><p><strong>Resources</strong></p><ul> <li><a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/browse?contentId=38028">Learning from Trees</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.greenburialcouncil.org/">Green Burial Council</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.conservationburialallianc">Conservation Burial Alliance</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bluestemcemetery.org/">Bluestem Cemetery</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/26/well/family/rest-me-in-a-pine-box-and-let-the-fiddle-play.html">Green burial NYT article</a></li> <li>Original theme music for <a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast">The Good Dirt</a> composed and performed by John Kingsley @jkingsley1026</li> </ul><br><p><strong>Guest Info</strong></p><ul> <li><a href="https://www.bluestemcemetery.org/">Bluestem Conservation Cemetery Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.bluestemcemetery.org/resources.html">Bluestem Resources Page</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.thelandmatters.com/meet-heidi--jeff.html">LANDMATTERS Website</a></li> <li>Connect with Heidi on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/hhannapel?lang=en">@hhannapel</a> </li> </ul><br><p><strong>Follow Us:</strong></p><ul> <li><a href="https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast">Our Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thegooddirtph/">Instagram</a></li> </ul><br> <br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a> 1c488232-480f-47e6-83a5-4c94fd9a7ea8 https://lady-farmer.com/blogs/the-good-dirt-podcast/Heidi-Hannapel Fri, 29 Oct 2021 10:00:00 +0000 3346 no full 64. Homesteading is What You Make It with Angela Ferraro Fanning of Axe & Root Homestead 64. Homesteading is What You Make It with Angela Ferraro Fanning of Axe & Root Homestead 64 Lady Farmer On today’s episode of The Good Dirt, we’re chatting with Angela Ferraro Fanning of Axe and Root Homestead, a six-acre farm in central New Jersey. Angela shares how she got started with homesteading, balancing motherhood and farm life, and all the highs and lows of living off the land. We also discuss her and her family’s decision to follow a vegetarian diet, and what it means to be a modern homesteader. Plus, Angela gives us details about her exciting side projects, like a cookbook, children’s book series, and podcasting. On today’s episode of The Good Dirt, we’re chatting with Angela Ferraro Fanning of Axe and Root Homestead, a six-acre farm in central New Jersey. Angela shares the story of how she went from being a graphic designer to a homesteader in 2012, when she told her husband she'd like to trade her job income for time outside growing food they would no longer have to buy. Now she finds herself balancing a life raising two boys with managing a working farm, as well as authoring a cookbook, a children's book series and hosting a homesteading podcast. In this conversation, we discuss not only the benefits of growing your own food, but the many options available to the modern homesteader. Though the concept of homesteading appeals to a lot of people, the reality of shifting to such a lifestyle is often intimidating and seemingly full of obstacles. Angela explains that homesteading doesn't look the same for everyone, and doesn't have to be defined by what you see when you look out your window. She encourages her followers to begin with the smallest task, such as growing one plant, and taking that longing for connection to food and nature just one step at a time. It doesn't have to involve raising and harvesting your own animals, or all of your food, baking artisan bread or keeping bees. There are likely others in your area that can do all of that. Instead, she says to focus on what interests you, and rely on your community for the rest. The homesteading mindset is about hands-on, local, seasonal living. Join us on today’s episode to hear more about the first steps that Angela took in growing her own food, how she got comfortable with the constant trial and error of homesteading, and how she’s slowly expanding her business through writing and online media.

Regenerative Bison Farming with Liz Riffle 63. Regenerative Bison Farming with Liz Riffle 63 Lady Farmer Welcome to this week’s episode of The Good Dirt Podcast where we chat with lady farmer, Liz Riffle. Liz and her husband Jimmy are the owners and operators of Riffle Farm, a small grass-fed bison operation in West Virginia. The Riffles are dedicated to providing humane and sustainable bison meat to their community. We discuss everything from the trials and tribulations of starting a small farm, how regenerative agriculture helps mitigate climate change, and what to do when a 2,000-pound bison starts running your way (hint: get comfortable with jumping over fences). We also discuss how to be a more informed consumer by knowing the source of your food, the farmers growing it and the methods used in its production. Tune in to this week’s episode to learn more about regenerative farming and all things bison with Liz Riffle. On today’s episode of The Good Dirt, we’re speaking with Liz Riffle of Riffle Farm in Preston County, WV, which is a small bison farm raising grass-fed and finished animals.  Owner and Operator Liz is a U.S Navy Nurse Corps veteran and her husband, Jimmie, is currently still serving on active-duty as a Navy Nurse Corps Nurse Practitioner. Jimmie was born and raised in Grafton, WV. In their own words, Jimmie and Liz are homegrown and proud to now serve this great nation by feeding it!   After near extinction in the 1880s bison have made a comeback, and are now thriving on small operations such as Riffle Farm. Liz says she and her husband discovered bison burgers while traveling in Wyoming, and became interested in the idea of raising them. They eventually found a 64-acre spot where they could let bison roam and graze, and opened for business in 2017. Fast forward to today, and they’ve almost doubled their operation. Liz shares with us their journey from those beginnings until now, during which she’s learned much about regenerative agriculture, working with nature, slowing down and listening to the land. Liz believes that she has a responsibility to honorably raise as well as humanely harvest the bison on her farm. The regulatory system is set up for large-scale meat producers and sometimes makes it difficult for small scale farmers to accomplish their sustainability goals. Liz has started a new business, The Honest Carnivore, as a means of teaching other small farmers how to navigate that system, empowering them to continue providing sustainable meat solutions.  Join us on this week’s episode to learn more about building trust and transparency in the food chain with bison farmer Liz Riffle.  Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podchaser, Simplecast, Podtail, or on your favorite podcast platform.

Fighting Food Insecurity with Jenny Freeman of Community FarmShare 61. Fighting Food Insecurity with Jenny Freeman of Community FarmShare 61 Lady Farmer Welcome to this week’s episode of The Good Dirt Podcast where we speak to Jenny Freeman about her experience growing Community FarmShare, a community based initiative that connects food-insecure families with local produce farmers. For Jenny, what sprouted as an idea during the pandemic has now become a fully registered 501(c)(3) organization, offering individuals and organizations the ability to get involved in the agri-food sector and make a difference in their community. This organization works by way of donation and is completely volunteer-run with all of the money being put towards purchasing Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm shares. These shares are then used to purchase weekly bags and boxes of organically grown produce at one of seven local participating vegetable farms. This ensures that nutritious food is being brought to food-insecure families every week throughout the year, from Spring to Fall. Join us on this week’s episode as we learn more about Jenny’s story and how she has created Community FarmShare! For today's guest Jenny Freeman, what sprouted as an idea to tackle food insecurity during the pandemic has now grown into a fully registered 501(c)(3) organization that offers individuals and organizations the ability to get involved in the local food movement. Her organization, Community FarmShare, is a community-based initiative that connects food-insecure families with local produce farmers in Montgomery County. This organization works by way of donation and is completely volunteer-run, all of the money is put towards purchasing Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm shares. These shares are then used to purchase weekly bags and boxes of organically grown produce at one of seven local participating vegetable farms.  CSA programs have recently received widespread attention for their ability to provide unique benefits to communities, environments, and economies. In a nutshell, CSAs directly connect consumers and producers to help create a more profitable and transparent local food system. This helps in reducing food insecurity among families that cannot afford organically grown foods. Jenny is passionate about tackling this issue by providing a solution that links families experiencing food insecurity with local vegetable and fruit growers. Jenny shares this mission with the rest of her community in order to create transformative change in her local community.  In this week’s episode, we will discuss Jenny’s journey creating Community FarmShare and how you can get involved with her organization.

Art for the Earth: Sustainable Practices and Natural Dyes with Fiber Artist Lotta Helleberg 59. Art for the Earth: Sustainable Practices and Natural Dyes with Fiber Artist Lotta Helleberg 59 Lady Farmer Welcome to this week’s episode of The Good Dirt Podcast where we speak to Swedish-born artist, Lotta Helleberg, who specializes in fiber, printmaking, and book arts. Early in her career as an artist, she began to reconsider the harmful dyes and toxic materials she was using, and made the switch from synthetic to natural dyes and paints. Lotta now tends the trees and plants that are translated into both the design and the color of her work, right in her own garden. This ethos of sustainability in her work carries through every part of her artistic process, from composting old leaves used in the printmaking to creating her own processing solution from iron scraps. Lotta continues to find joy in the mystery of every newly unrolled print, and encourages us to find beauty in the natural world all around us. Join us on this week’s episode to find out more. Lotta grew up in Sweden and began her career as a journalist before immigrating to the US in the ’80s. After settling in Charlottesville, Virginia, she transitioned into graphic design, bringing the Nordic design aesthetic of simplicity, elegance, and clear lines into her work. Like many artists, Lotta dreamed of the creative work she would like to pursue outside of the requests of her clients, and started combining her interests in gardening and natural materials as inspiration. She began leaning away from working with synthetic dyes and paints, aware of both the health and environmental effects of working closely with these toxins. What started as a hobby developed into a production line of linen household items including pillows, napkins, and runners, all using leaves and natural plant materials found outside in her immediate environment. Lotta soon discovered that the natural dyes had benefits beyond the lack of toxic chemicals, finding that she was able to realize colors she could never achieve with the synthetic dyes. Her artwork now extends beyond just textiles to printmaking and book arts, and features an eco-printing technique called "botanical contact printing." Lotta carries her sustainable principles through every part of the artistic process from composting old leaves used in the printing to creating her own processing solution from iron scraps. So much of Lotta’s art and life revolves around the slow principles we espouse at Lady Farmer. She reflects on how growing up in Sweden with the ability to wander freely and explore the natural world has fostered within her a deep, personal connection with nature. When she isn’t in the studio, she is outside cultivating her naturalist garden, tending to the trees and plants grown on her property that will be translated into the design and colors of her artwork. She also incorporates the meditative practice of hand stitching into her art. On this episode of The Good Dirt, Lotta encourages us to find beauty in the natural world all around, and experience the wonder that is everywhere. Join us on this week’s episode to find out more.

Practicing Mindfulness Through Weaving with Kate Kilmurray 58 Lady Farmer Welcome to this week’s episode of The Good Dirt Podcast where we speak to Kate Kilmurray about how she uses weaving as a form of meditation for stillness, mindfulness, and connecting with the earth--and the joy she finds in sharing this practice with other women in her community. Kate has a degree in Art History from the University of Pennsylvania, has run a small textile business and worked for several years at Swan Gallery in Philadelphia. She also taught yoga for fifteen years at the Mystic River Yoga Studio in Medford, MA with her husband, Arthur. After making a cross country move to California, Kate became inspired to begin teaching and presenting her visual art with others. Now through her “Weaving As Meditation” classes, Kate teaches women the principles of hand weaving with a simple 7x7 hand loom, while guiding them to slow down, connect to the breath, and tap into their creative channels. Join us on this week’s episode as we speak to her about how she continues to use weaving as a practice that allows her a true connectedness with herself and the fullness of life. In Kate Kilmurray’s experience, weaving is one of the best practices for mindfulness, grounding ourselves in nature, and returning to who we really are. As our hands get involved with each thread, our mind is free to rest from our conscious stream. In this stillness, we are able to ground ourselves and find our inner center within our tumultuous and chaotic surroundings. Join us on today’s episode as we gain more insight into Kate’s journey and how she teaches weaving as a form of meditation to realign with our inner selves.  After graduating with a degree in Art History from the University of Pennsylvania, Kate ran a small textile business and worked for several years at Swan Gallery in Philadelphia. Faced with health challenges, she discovered yoga and meditation, and found herself called to the path of conscious and contemplative living. Kate received a certification in Mindfulness Meditation, and for fifteen years ran the Mystic River Yoga Studio in Medford, MA with her husband, Arthur, helping students slow down, find freedom in movement, and reconnect to their true nature. After a move from the east coast to California, Kate became inspired to begin teaching and presenting her visual art with others. She has developed a line of handwoven potholders and textiles made from a simple 7 x 7 inch metal handloom, which she uses in teaching her “Weaving As Meditation” classes. Kate teaches women the principles of hand weaving, while guiding them to slow down, connect to the breath, and tap into their creative channels. "Women leave my workshops with a new set of skills to create their own inner calm and beauty in their corner of the world," she says. Kate has sold her products at over 100 lifestyle stores across the United States, as well as shops in Canada, Denmark, and Japan. Listen to this week’s episode as we explore how the visual arts can be harnessed as a powerful tool of meditation and mindfulness!

Accessing Capital & Supporting Regenerative Agriculture with Dan Miller and Spike Gjerde of Steward 56. Accessing Capital & Supporting Regenerative Agriculture with Dan Miller and Spike Gjerde of Steward 56 Lady Farmer Welcome to this week’s episode of The Good Dirt Podcast where we talk about how technology may have a role in sustaining local regenerative agriculture with Dan Miller, founder of Steward, a platform that allows individuals to fund local farms. We also speak with Spike Gjerde, the visionary and chef of Woodberry Kitchen located in Baltimore, MD, and Steward advocate. Separately, Dan and Spike knew that they needed to find a way to support regenerative farmers and producers using their own natural talents and expertise. It wasn’t until Dan created Steward that the two found each other and realized their shared passion. Listen in as Dan and Spike use Woodberry Kitchen as a case study for why funding farms not only restores local ecosystems, it also makes good financial sense. Separately, Dan Miller and Spike Gjerde knew that they needed to find a way to support regenerative farmers and producers using their own natural talents and expertise. Dan’s family had been farming in the Chesapeake Bay since the late 1800s, but he never understood how a region could have what appears to be a thriving agricultural system while also struggling economically. Meanwhile, Spike wanted to start a new restaurant concept that focused on growing seasons and local sourcing. It wasn’t until Dan created Steward, a platform that enables people to fund regenerative agriculture, that the two found each other and realized their shared passion.  Dan and Spike define regenerative agriculture as a system of farming principles and practices that seeks to rehabilitate and enhance the entire ecosystem of the farm by placing a heavy premium on soil health. The benefits of this kind of farming practice seem obvious, but individuals and families running regenerative farms often achieve such small profit margins that they can’t invest in the equipment, training, and labor that allows them to scale. Dan hopes Steward will change that by allowing people to make small or large contributions to regenerative farms in their area. In turn, investors receive all of the environmental benefits while also making a competitive return on their investment. When your local farms are thriving, you can taste the difference. That's why Spike has broken with traditional restaurant conventions and plans his menu with the seasons. You won't find lemons in your water at Woodberry Kitchen, but what you will get is food that supports everyone in the production chain. He encourages us to ask "How much does this really cost?" when we are tempted to question the high prices of local goods. Join us in this week’s episode of The Good Dirt Podcast to learn more.

A Taste of France: Cooking and Slow Living in Gascony with Kate Hill 55. A Taste of France: Cooking and Slow Living in Gascony with Kate Hill 55 Lady Farmer Welcome to this week’s episode of The Good Dirt Podcast, where we speak to the renowned chef and author Kate Hill, who shares with us the secrets of Gascon cooking and stories of her life in southwest France. Cooking has always come naturally to Kate, who was taught by her first-generation Italian-American mother and a country-raised farm boy father from Oklahoma. She was raised in Hawaii but landed in France thirty years ago, literally arriving by a river barge, and never left. She now shares her passion for cooking with locally grown foods with guests and students fortunate enough to visit her 18th-century farmhouse on the banks of the Canal de Garonne, as well as through her online cooking courses. Interested in learning more about Kate and her personal story? Join us on this week’s episode to find out more. The greatest secret to mastering the art of cooking? It's' not the recipes, but in using the freshest ingredients that are indigenous to the land. In France, this means buying locally grown, in-season fruits and vegetables from the nearest farmer's market. This is a long-held practice in Gascony, a rural province of southwestern France where "the good dirt" is prized and protected for the preservation of its culinary heritage.  The culture of food in Gascony has its own unique flavors and methods. Kate has been collecting recipes for years, gathered from friends and neighbors and even from knocking on the doors of strangers to learn how to cook something new. Kate teaches methods such as oven roasting, braising, emulsifying sauces, and has recently been featured on a "Cooking with Wine" series streaming on Somm TV. But it doesn’t stop there, Kate also intertwines these culinary lessons with in-person road trips in France and Spain.  Kate masterfully wears multiple hats in her personal life and profession. She is a cook, teacher, mentor, and wonderful storyteller. In “A Culinary Journey in Gascony: Recipes and Stories from My French Canal Boat'," she tells the story of how she first discovered the region while floating slowly down the Canal de Garonne, and subsequently purchased the 18th-century farmhouse in the area which has been her home and culinary inspiration for the past thirty years.  Interested in learning more about Kate and her personal story?

This is a long-held practice in Gascony, a rural province of southwestern France where "the good dirt" is prized and protected for the preservation of its culinary heritage. </p><p>The culture of food in Gascony has its own unique flavors and methods. Kate has been collecting recipes for years, gathered from friends and neighbors and even from knocking on the doors of strangers to learn how to cook something new. Kate teaches methods such as oven roasting, braising, emulsifying sauces, and has recently been featured on a "Cooking with Wine" series streaming on Somm TV. But it doesn’t stop there, Kate also intertwines these culinary lessons with in-person road trips in France and Spain. </p><p>Kate masterfully wears multiple hats in her personal life and profession. She is a cook, teacher, mentor, and wonderful storyteller. In “A Culinary Journey in Gascony: Recipes and Stories from My French Canal Boat'," she tells the story of how she first discovered the region while floating slowly down the Canal de Garonne, and subsequently purchased the 18th-century farmhouse in the area which has been her home and culinary inspiration for the past thirty years.  Interested in learning more about Kate and her personal story?

Her story begins with a school science fair project in her teens, when she first combined flasks of essential oils to recreate the wonderful aromas she encountered in her favorite beauty products. Since that time, she has evolved her own unique methods combining the magic of a holistic approach with scientific research, interweaving natural ingredients in organic beauty balms, reviving elixirs, and effective oral care-- and her company Living Libations is still thriving after thirty years! Curious to learn more? Join us on this week’s episode to learn more about Nadine’s story. Nature provides the greatest elixirs: sunshine, water, air, and plants. By harnessing that power and bringing these elements into our everyday beauty routines, we can embrace a simpler, more natural concept of beauty that is free from the questionable ingredients in many commercially available products, allowing these elements to revive the spirit and body.   Nadine Artemis has used plants as her teachers her entire life. Her curiosity and ingenuity led her into this exploration of ingredients at an early age, and since then, she has been challenging conventional notions of beauty and wellness by creating natural beauty products that are supported by extensive research into current science.  In 1992, Nadine opened the first North American full concept aromatherapy store namedOsmosis. She now runs Living Libations, a company that provides organic and pure renegade beauty products that honor human health and beauty.

A National Model for Land Preservation: The Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve with Caroline Taylor 53. A National Model for Land Preservation: The Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve with Caroline Taylor 53 Lady Farmer Welcome to this week’s episode of The Good Dirt Podcast where we dive into the topics of land conservation, local food production and environmental stewardship in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. Join us as we speak to Caroline Taylor, a native Washingtonian and the executive director of the Montgomery Countryside Alliance, who shares with us all about this region's own unique land preservation project, the Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve. We talk about the "Ag Reserve" as a national model for the shaping of environmental landscapes in the United States, its continuing success, goals and challenges as we move forward into an uncertain future. Where can you find nearly one hundred thousand acres of land protected for food and outdoor recreation this close to a metropolitan area? Not many, except for Montgomery County’s Agricultural Reserve. It is the hidden gem of the Washington DC Metropolitan Area, as it continues to provide economic services, food resilience networks, and environmental services for the region. It has also been heralded as one of the best examples of land conservation policies in the country, and encompasses almost a third of the county’s natural resources.   Caroline Taylor, today’s guest and executive director of the non -profit organization Montgomery Countryside Alliance, shares with us the potential of the Ag Reserve in local food production, climate change mitigation and as a resource for people to experience and enjoy natural spaces. The Agricultural Reserve has also served to inform and influence the formation of land-use policies across the country, and has helped to shape the United States’ suburban landscape in a positive way .  According to Caroline, more connection with nature and relationship to our open spaces will lead to increased general wellness, awareness and momentum in seeking meaningful solutions to climate change.

Go Plastic Free with Linen: Regenerative Design for the Kitchen with Heidi Barr 52. Go Plastic Free with Linen: Regenerative Design for the Kitchen with Heidi Barr 52 Lady Farmer Welcome to this week’s episode of The Good Dirt Podcast where we dive into the topic of reclaimed fabrics with entrepreneur and former costume designer Heidi Barr. As the founder of The Kitchen Garden Textiles, she speaks to us about the importance of shifting away from single-use plastics to ethically manufactured linen textiles designed to be used directly in the kitchen. Linen is one of the most biodegradable and stylish fabrics in fashion history. It is antimicrobial, durable, and made from flax plant fibers, so when untreated (i.e. not dyed) it is fully biodegradable. Heidi shares with us how her business continues to strive to change the narrative in the textile industry, using versatile fabrics to build a healthy and sustainable future. Join us on this week’s episode as we dive into this topic and learn more about Heidi’s personal journey as an entrepreneur. Linen is a woven and durable fabric that gets pulled out of the closet when summer rolls around or spread across one’s bed as a soft blanket or duvet cover. But the big question remains: how sustainable is linen? We speak to Heidi Barr about how she has worked with reclaimed fabrics to reduce textile waste in the industry. She noticed the need for more sustainable solutions when she saw the urgency for making these changes in order to build a healthy, vibrant future with kitchen products that you will want to use every day. Heidi Barr is the founder of The Kitchen Garden Textiles, a line of kitchen textiles made with natural and reclaimed materials sold to support urban agriculture. Her business began by making napkins out of the backs of second-hand men’s shirts and selling them to support her local urban CSA farm. Now, her company has gained significant traction in the textile industry and is used by some of Philly’s top chefs including Ari Miller, co-owner and chef at Musi BYOB, and by Judy Wicks, environmental activist, author, and founder of the White Dog Cafe. As a former dancer turned costume designer, her business combines her love for the environment, fabric, and sewing. Heidi uses this passion to continue to inspire other individuals to live a more environmentally conscious and plastic-free lifestyle.

The Million Acre Challenge: Building Regenerative Systems for Healthy Soil with Amanda Cather 51. The Million Acre Challenge: Building Regenerative Systems for Healthy Soil with Amanda Cather 51 Lady Farmer In this week’s episode, Mary and Emma talk with Amanda Cather from The Million Acre Challenge, a nonprofit organization that helps Maryland farmers build soil health, increase farm profitability, and improve water quality – while making farms resilient and active in the face of climate change. Their farmer-focused collaborative uses soil health science, economics, education, and incentives to achieve their mission. Amanda's early training in pre-med led her from an interest in equitable food access to a career path in urban agriculture, and ultimately to running her own farm raising grass-fed livestock. Now, alongside the team at Million Acre, the goal is to achieve one million agricultural acres in Maryland using healthy soil techniques by 2030, while sharing best practices and making healthy soil connections throughout the Chesapeake watershed.Throughout the episode, Amanda shares her knowledge surrounding the effort. She educates us on the industrial versus ecological models, and introduces us to the multiple factors that affect the way farmers must approach soil improvement. She stresses the importance of listening to farmer’s voices and supporting their journey, as well as, fighting for systems that reward good stewardship and value biodiversity. She explains there are multi-pathways to healthy soil and no one way to achieve the goal. The key to progress in this effort is maintaining curiosity and communication along the way, and remembering that healthy soil (good dirt!) is the foundation of everything.

Their farmer-focused collaborative uses soil health science, economics, education, and incentives to achieve their mission. Amanda's early training in pre-med led her from an interest in equitable food access to a career path in urban agriculture, and ultimately to running her own farm raising grass-fed livestock. Now, alongside the team at Million Acre, the goal is to achieve one million agricultural acres in Maryland using healthy soil techniques by 2030, while sharing best practices and making healthy soil connections throughout the Chesapeake watershed.

 

Throughout the episode, Amanda shares her knowledge surrounding the effort. She educates us on the industrial versus ecological models, and introduces us to the multiple factors that affect the way farmers must approach soil improvement.

Trash Talk: The Truth About Compostables with Lauren Olson of WorldCentric 50 Lady Farmer In this week’s episode, Mary and Emma dive deep into the world of plastic consumption and waste management with Lauren Olson, a Zero Waste Manager at World Centric, exploring the world of compostables and the use of plastic in our daily lives. The discussion covers several aspects of the topic, including the difficulties of “zero-waste," how plastic sneaks into our homes even when we are consciously trying to avoid it, and all the ways in which existing systems make it difficult to create true sustainability in our homes. Lauren explains the science behind bioplastics, as well as the difference between industrial vs home compostables. She also shares how to determine genuinely compostable products and helps us imagine a cradle to cradle world where waste equals food for the earth, and not the other way around! Mary and Emma ask the vital questions, what can we do to work through this monumentally large plastic problem, and is it really possible to achieve the ultimate goal of a zero-waste economy? Lauren gives practical tips for individual action, while encouraging all of us to use our voices as paying consumers to demand change from the top down.

Beyond the Dream: Legal Resilience and Homesteading Reframed with Eva Moss 49 Lady Farmer Mary and Emma have an enlightening conversation this week with grower and legal educator Eva Moss, discussing an aspect of the homestead dream that is too often overlooked. Knowing farm law and preparing for unexpected issues through healthy communication before they come up creates legal protection for all parties involved. Eva shares with us the story of how a life transition left her and her farm legally vulnerable. With help, she found her way through that experience all the wiser, and now uses her voice and legal knowledge to educate the farming community through her work at Farm Commons. Throughout the episode, Eva speaks to the power of finding healthy pathways forward in our relationships within the business, with each other and with the land. She reminds us that we have the power to create our own solutions and that we have significant creative power to (legally) cultivate the lady farmer life we’re dreaming of if we take the time to talk about our needs and goals. Mary, Emma and Eva also discuss how to cultivate a slow life as a hardworking homesteader and the important distinction between self-sufficiency and community resiliency.

A Lady Farmer's Life with Michelle Aronson 46 Lady Farmer In this episode, we talk with Lady Farmer and chef Michelle Aronson, creator of Farmbelly, an educational platform dedicated to sharing the love of growing, cooking, and eating wonderful food. Although Michelle wasn't particularly interested in cooking while growing up in the suburbs of the Midwest, once she moved to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia for college, she I discovered her love for food and farming. After several summers apprenticing on different small-scale farms, and after managing an educational farm in Charlottesville, complete with laying hens, bee hives, and lots of eager student volunteers, she recognized that she needed to level up her cooking skills in order to enjoy the hard-earned fruits and veggies she was learning to grow. In the spring of 2013 Michelle attended culinary training at the Ballymaloe Cooking School, located on a 100-acre organic farm on the coast of Ireland, where almost all of the dairy, meat, vegetables, and herbs come straight from the fields into the teaching kitchens. Inspired by the incredible teachers, fresh ingredients, and straightforward culinary ethos at Ballymaloe, Michelle returned home to work in many sectors of the food/farming world, and ultimately to where she now lives on a beautiful 10-acre farm near Saxapahaw, North Carolina, cultivating a diverse market garden + farmstand, and teaching gardening + cooking classes. Michelle shares about her journey and her mission to make farm-fresh food accessible and less intimidating for folks...and to help everyone get a “farm belly." What's that? Listen in to find out!

Make, Thrift, Mend With Katrina Rodabaugh 45 Lady Farmer On today’s episode of The Good Dirt, Mary and Emma sit down with artist, writer and teacher Katrina Rodabaugh to discuss her slow fashion journey, sustainability as a process, embracing imperfection and mending as healing. Katrina dives into her own outlook on embracing a more sustainable lifestyle, a process that takes place over time and many small steps. The three discuss the importance of accessibility in the movement, and how remembering the values of the past doesn't have to mean giving up the progress we have made as a society. They also talk about how slow fashion practices such as thrifting, mending and making are important as a disruption of the industry and a positive step towards change. A poet and fiber artist at heart, Katrina has published three books, Make Thrift Mend (2021); Mending Matters (2018); and The Paper Playhouse (2015). Her writing and artwork has appeared in publications such as the New York Times, Boston Globe, Martha Stewart Living, Mother Earth Living, Sewing Magazine, Sunset magazine, Sweet Paul Magazine, Taproot magazine, and more. Katrina currently lives with her artist husband and their young sons on a two-hundred-year-old farmhouse in Hudson Valley, New York where they grow dye plants, flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables while caring for chickens and honeybees.

Artistic Expression, Slow Living, and the Role of Social Media with Marlee Grace 43 Lady Farmer On today’s episode of The Good Dirt, Mary and Emma talk with dancer, writer and quiltmaker Marlee Grace to consider the question, what are we practicing and showing up for in our day to day lives? Throughout the episode, Mary, Emma, and Marlee dig into the concept of “personal practice” as they reimagine art forms as a practice rather than a performance. Marlee shares why she stepped away from social media, questions the role it plays in our lives, and addresses the platform’s inherently performative nature. She also shares where she finds encouragement and inspiration, and reminds us to take our work seriously (but not ourselves). Marlee’s work focuses on the self, rituals of devotion, creativity, and art-making. Her practice is rooted in improvisation as a compositional form expressed through dance, writing, quilting, teaching, and hosting artists. Her dance project Personal Practice has been featured in the New York Times, Dance Magazine, Vanity Fair, and The Huffington Post.

The Role of Activism in the Fashion Revolution with Elizabeth Cline 39. The Role of Activism in the Fashion Revolution with Elizabeth Cline 39 Lady Farmer Our guest this week is Elizabeth Cline, a New York-based author, journalist, and expert on consumer culture, fast fashion, sustainability and labor rights in the apparel industry. She is the author of Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion, which was published in 2012, and which laid the foundation for the modern global ethical and sustainable fashion movement. Her most recent book, The Conscious Closet, published in 2019, describes how consumers can transform the apparel industry and change the world for the better by making more informed decisions about what they wear every day. In this episode, Elizabeth inspires slow fashion enthusiasts to move beyond the response of merely modifying their purchasing decisions, to come together with other individuals in the wider community to impact policy change through social activism. Elizabeth discusses campaigns such as Pay Up Fashion for direct relief for garment workers that have not been paid by American companies during the pandemic, and the Garment Workers Protection Act that will provide minimum wage for garment workers in California. Elizabeth encourages consumers to embrace their civic right in bringing the malpractices and inequities of the fashion industry to light, holding brands accountable for their unethical practices and therefore affecting real change in this broken system. 1:30 - It’s Fashion Revolution week! 10:00 - Elizabeth introduces herself 11:00 - Has there been much change in the last two decades in the fashion industry? 20:00 - Why are corporations not paying their factories? 28:00 - The problems in your own closet 38:00 - The PayUp Campaign  42:00 - What does The Good Dirt mean to you? 50:00 - How Farmers in West Texas inspired Elizabeth Things Mentioned: Fashion Revolution  Overdressed: The Shockingly High Cost of Cheap Fashion by Elizabeth Cline The Conscious Closet by Elizabeth Cline Lady Farmer Essential Collection Line and Tow Line at Lady Farmer Grace Brian The Twilight of the Ethical Consumer article PayUp Fashion SB 62 - The Garment Worker Protection Act Elizabeth Cline Instagram PayUp Fashion Instagram Greenwashing article for Patagonia Another Tomorrow The ALMANAC Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy 1:30 - It’s Fashion Revolution week!

Homeschooling In The New Normal: Ideas And Options with Rebecca Gallop of A Daily Something 13. Homeschooling In The New Normal: Ideas And Options with Rebecca Gallop of A Daily Something 13 Lady Farmer Given the uncertainties surrounding the re-opening of schools in the fall of 2020, many parents are considering the transition to full time homeschooling. Others don't feel confident in taking that step, and are going with the "schooling-at-home" programs that their own schools are offering. What's the difference in these approaches, how can they encompass slow living, and what are all the possibilities in between the two? Wherever you are on the spectrum of options for the school year, we hope you'll tune in to our conversation with veteran homeschooler Rebecca Gallop (@adailysomething) to discuss these distinctions and all that this situation has to offer. Yes, without a doubt there are challenges, but we think this episode with Rebecca will help you gain a new perspective, and will leave you excited and inspired to explore this unique opportunity for you and your family. If you are one of many parents across the country right now, uncertain of what "back-to-school" means for you and your child this fall, this episode is for you!

Julia Watkins on Simply Living Well 12. Julia Watkins on Simply Living Well 12 Lady Farmer Today we’re talking to slow living enthusiast Julia Watkins, creator of the Instagram account @simply.living.well and author of the book by the same name. Julia begins this episode talking about the three phases of her life that most influenced the slow living lifestyle that she now espouses and demonstrates to a large following—her childhood spent closely tied to her grandparents and their rich but simple lifestyle, her years spent in a remote village in West Africa, immersed in a life centered around community and nature, and her own entry into motherhood. We cover a lot of great topics in this conversation, including the challenges of balancing an authentic, scaled-back lifestyle along with an active social media presence, the sustainability and zero-waste movements, the realities of constant stress in our present day culture, motherhood in the absence of a communal village, and the value of recognizing what’s most important to each of us in the cultivation of our slow living goals. Come along with us in this lovely conversation, as we hear Julia’s own story unfold and learn from her experience as well.

During the COVID19 pandemic lockdown in France, Jamie created one piece of art for each day to make up the #isolationcreation series. We chat about her life shifts, her #isolationcreation project, and we bond over some of our favorite (and not so favorite) cultural differences between France and America.

Food, Ferments, Farm, and Family Life: Cultivating ‘Sustainability’ That Works for You with Rachel Armistead 2. Food, Ferments, Farm, and Family Life: Cultivating ‘Sustainability’ That Works for You with Rachel Armistead 2 Lady Farmer Rachel Armistead is co-owner of The Sweet Farm in Frederick, MD. They make delicious sauerkraut & ginger beer, as well as pasture-raised pork. Rachel gives one of the best explanations ever of what fermented foods are and how they benefit our health. We get into some fun facts about vinegar, our industrial food system and some things to watch out for when reading labels. She also shares with us what it’s like living in a tiny house with her husband and two small children, where the romantic vision of minimalism meets a real family. She reflects on consumer issues, what constitutes “enough” in our society versus the need for more, and what we can teach the next generation about want vs. need, quality of life, and how to balance conscious choices in the real world.

Fashion, Food and Soil: What You Need to Know with Amy DuFault 1. Fashion, Food and Soil: What You Need to Know with Amy DuFault 1 Lady Farmer Amy has been a sustainable fashion writer for the past 13 years for media including Ecouterre, Participant Media, and The Guardian. Currently, she’s the Sustainability and Communications Director for Botanical Colors and she consults for sustainability minded folks like Elizabeth Cline (author of Overdressed and The Sustainable Closet), Buffy Bedding, and TS Designs. We cover a number of topics as Amy shares her current work with the Southeastern New England Fibershed. Along the way, the discussion touches on the many ways that care of the soil and slow living overlap, the concept of patience, of waiting, of working with nature instead of trying to control it, and of taking the opportunity to witness and heal our addictive behaviors as we do so. Whether we are farmers or not, every consumer decision we make somehow relates back to the soil, and we all have our part to play in regenerating a healthy world.
