Shannon Jones, a young farmer from River Hebert, Nova Scotia joins me to talk about what it is like to be a young farmer on her farm, Broadfork Farm. She started the farm with her partner Bryan Dyck in 2011. Both Shannon and Bryan farmed on other farms for many years before they started their own farm. The lived simply and knew what they could get by without. That made the transition to farming a lot easier. Their path of frugality is one path into farming. But like Shannon said, find what works for you and don't just copy what someone else did. At the end of the day it is very clear that Shannon loves what she does. Living her dream, working her dream job, as part of the next generation of farmers. Show Notes: www.permaculturevoices.com/43
We celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars this week! Can you believe Star Wars hit the big four-oh on May 25? Neither can we but we do our best to digest it and we've brought along the "OT Curmudgeon" himself, Tom Berges from I Grew Up Star Wars to help us out!Thanks to "Chris Fitzpatrick 87" for your humbling iTunes review of our show. We are so flattered by your kind words! Thanks also to Bryan Dyck for making us, well, collectibles! Also check out Bryan's goofy stop motion video that we talked about this week. Never too old to play with toys!If you didn't attend Star Wars Celebration in Orlando this past April then you are eligible for a great contest over at Rebelscum.com where you have a chance to win a TON of swag, including something from The Sandcrawler!Vanity Fair chose Star Wars' anniversary to preview their The Last Jedi cover feature. As always the covers look amazing but even more amazing is the poster that new subscribers can get. By the way, who the heck is this little guy?This week in I Wanted Everything Mike picks up a couple more vintage Marvel comics and Dan loves the new Funko POP Luke in landspeeder. He's also picked up some Topps 40th Anniversary trading cards which are just full of nostalgia and are pretty darn cool too. The piece de resistance for Dan though is a very special gift from a fellow collector.Tom Berges, owner of I Grew Up Star Wars.com website and Facebook group talks with us and we catch up on our first meeting at Celebration. Then Dan, the young punk of the show, poses twenty-one questions to the two old guys, Mike and Tom, and it's a ridiculously fun time. We're pretty sure no other Star Wars 40th Anniversary podcast includes references to lederhosen.
