  • For this episode, I--Natalie--chatted with Louis Geller from North Spore, which is a mushroom company based out of my home state of Maine. I have known about North Spore since they were founded, which I think was about 10 years ago, and watch their business grow with great enthusiasm because their mission is really cool to bring mushroom cultivation to the masses. And they're doing it very successfully, putting together amazing educational resources to help people get going. I encourage you to check out some of the resources in the show notes for more specifics on cultivating different mushroom species and the different growing systems they've been working on.

  • Jared Zystro is a research and education director at the Organic Seed Alliance. Jared is based in Arcada, California. I invited Jared onto this episode so he can tell you about the Organic Seed Growers Conference in Corvallis, Oregon that is taking place from February 26th to March 1st, 2025. I first went to this conference in 2008 and it was the single most important learning experience to my seed career. I also made so many great friends and contacts that have followed me throughout all my CD endeavors. And I think that you would probably enjoy an experience like this also. So in this episode, Jared and I talk about what is happening at this year's conference and how you can participate not only in person, but also virtually if you can't make it to Corvallis. Jared and I talk about more than just the conference in this episode. We start with Jared's seed story and how it went from working summers on vegetable farms to ultimately getting a PhD in plant breeding and plant genetics from the University of Wisconsin Madison. And we finished with a deep dive into growing quinoa on both a larger commercial scale using a combine and a smaller scale with manual techniques.

  • My guest is Jerry Toth of To'AK Chocolate, a luxury chocolate brand. Jerry studied economics at Cornell University and was a Hansard scholar at the London School of Economics. After very briefly working as an investment banker, he switched gears and relocated to South America in his 20s and then nomadically roamed the continent for several years, working as a foreign correspondent first for Adbusters magazine and taking other odd jobs. But during that time, he witnessed an era of unrestrained economic growth, an ecological decline in Latin America, and he ultimately set out on a mission to demonstrate what sustainable economic development can look like in real life. In 2007, Jerry laid roots in the Pacific Forest of Ecuador, where he co-founded a rainforest conservation organization called TMA, and created multiple rainforest preserves, became a food forest farmer, resurrected an ancient cacao variety from the brink of extinction, and launched this luxury chocolate company called To'AK, and is now building a regenerative cacao growers association across a 100 ,000 acre conservation corridor. Jerry's work has been featured in hundreds of media outlets across six continents, including National Geographic, Forbes, Vice, Smithsonian Magazine and Modern Farmer, among others...

  • On today's show, Alex Ball of Old City Acres sits down -again- with Jordan Schiebel of Middle Way Farm to discuss his newest project, Grinnell Farm to Table located in Grinnell, Iowa. We dig deep on managing a multi-farm food hub, Justins's sales in the farm and diversifying your food business to be more resilient. Jordan is a wealth of knowledge and someone I've really enjoyed watching as he's evolved his food business over the last couple of years.

  • In the 1970s, one of the leaders of the Waldorf movement, Karl Ege, wrote in his essay "An Evident Need of Our Times." "What we are founding here is a seed, the seed of a living organism. The organism is essentially three-fold, pedagogical, artistic, and agricultural, as reflections of thought, feeling, and will. Each needs the others if the whole is to flourish. All are interrelated. For young and old alike, this work together will create a place in which to become, in the true sense, a full human being."

    Babies, today Mimi is speaking with Martin Ping of Hawthorne Valley Farm and Hawthorne Valley Association, which is, to call it the farm or an association or anything could never really appreciate everything that it is. Martin has been at Hawthorne Valley for more than 30 years. You will appreciate what a treasure he is just listening to him. He's one of those people that you feel immediate kinship with and I can't tell you how much I recommend just browsing the websites of the Hawthorne Valley Association, because you can then begin to appreciate how they have managed to really honor that vision of holes nested in other holes and the interconnection and interrelated nature of all of the work that needs to be brought within one organism for everything to thrive.
