Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast
The PA Flax Project & The Return of American Linen

Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 3, 2025 45:10


This week on the Hemp Show we're talking about flax, a fiber plant with remarkable similarities to industrial hemp when grown for textiles. There's a fair amount of flax growing this year in southeastern Pennsylvania. The last time this much flax grew here, tractors hadn't even been invented yet. By the late 1800s flax production was in rapid decline in the Keystone State, pushed out by cheap cotton and forgotten by a country racing toward synthetic fiber — which makes 2025 a special year in Pennsylvania. Thanks to the PA Flax Project, spearheaded by Heidi Barr and Emma de Long, there are 30 acres of flax for fiber production in Chester, Montgomery and Lancaster counties this year. Thirty acres sounds small, but it's a far cry from the eighth of an acre the organization started with in 2022, or the zero acres for generations before that. When they harvest their 30 acres of flax next week, de Long said, this will be the first flax for fiber ever mechanically harvested in Pennsylvania. “When flax became no more in the United States, thanks to cotton and free labor and synthetics, the linen industry was destroyed. And since then, it has mechanized in other parts of the world. So now that we are having a resurgence of growing fiber flax and bringing this industry back, we have imported equipment from Belgium and we're ready to rock and roll,” she said. Barr said the Pennsylvanian Department of Agriculture has been instrumental in helping further the nascent flax industry in the state. “We advocated for and they added fiber flax to Pennsylvania's specialty crop list, which made us eligible for a specialty crop block grant, which we received,” Barr said. The organization also received an Organic Market Development Grant through USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service, which they are using to implement their business plan and scale acreage, educate and support farmers, and to develop a plan for a scutching mill, Barr said. She said the mill will be a worker- and farmer-owned cooperative, based on flax-producing co-ops in Europe. The podcast this week shares a handful of voices from the PA Flax Project's Flax Flower Picnic, held June 14 at Lundale Farm in South Coventry Township, Chester County. In order of appearance on the show, we hear from Emma de Long and Heidi Barr from the PA Flax Project; Natalie Horvath, design director at F. Schumacher and Company, a family-owned textile and interior design powerhouse in New York; Bill Schick, director of agriculture for the PA Flax Project; Mike Roth from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture; Paul Turner, chair of the Department of Theater and Dance at Rowan University; Leslie Davidson from the Pennsylvania Fibershed; and PA Flax Project member Rachel Laramee.

Talking about sexual health is so much more than just going over how reproduction works. Relationships, safety, personal boundaries, porn (more than half of kids have seen porn by the time they are 13!) and so many other topics are related! That is why we are so thankful to talk with Deni Tobin, the Violence Prevention Education Supervisor at our partner the Crime Victims Center of Chester County. Deni facilitates CVC's “Smarter Parents” program that empowers parents to talk to their kids of all ages about sexual health and development. Deni shares key points of the program including: how to keep an open connection with your child, safety with strangers especially on the internet, consent, and how to be more comfortable talking about what can feel like a “cringe” topic. We also talk about staying shame free, how to deal with learning about sex online, and SKIBIDI TOILET - if you know you know! Join us!     Things we mentioned in this episode:   It's So Amazing Book and Series by Robie H. Harris   The report, "Teens and Pornography," found that 73% of teen respondents age 13 to 17 have watched pornography online—and more than half (54%) reported first seeing pornography by the time they reached the age of 13.

In the mid-19th century, an old farmhouse stood along a quaint country road in North Coventry Township. This was the home of an eccentric spinster named Hannah Shingle, whose brutal murder in 1855 remains one of Chester County's most perplexing unsolved mysteries. Though no one was ever convicted of the crime, the evidence points to a killer who was closely known to the victim. And perhaps that is why Hannah's restless ghost was encountered by numerous witnesses in the years following her death, haunting the countryside near her former home.

Twenty stab wounds—ten to her back and ten to her chest, including a lethal one to her heart. And yet, the initial ruling from law enforcement was suicide. Now, thirteen years later, a Philadelphia courtroom is once again grappling with the lingering questions surrounding her death—questions her parents, Joshua and Sandee Greenberg, refuse to let fade into silence. In the hallowed chambers of Philadelphia City Hall, attorneys clashed in a high-stakes battle that teetered between forensic minutiae and allegations of systemic cover-ups. On one side stood the Greenbergs' legal team, armed with allegations that painted a chilling narrative. They claim that the handling of the case by the city's police department and medical examiner's office raises questions about whether proper procedures were followed. The city's legal representatives, however, rejected these allegations with equal fervor. They argued that the officials named in the Greenbergs' lawsuit were protected by immunity. They described the accusations of conspiracy as speculative, unsupported by evidence, and—in no uncertain terms—absurd. The courtroom was a microcosm of tension and grief, reflecting the broader struggle for accountability and justice. For the Greenbergs, it wasn't just about Ellen's death; it was about exposing systemic flaws they believe prevent families from finding closure. For the city's legal team, it was a fight to protect institutions from what they deemed unfounded allegations. Ellen Greenberg's story began on January 26, 2011, when her fiancé, Samuel Goldberg, returned to their shared apartment during a blizzard. According to Goldberg, he found the door locked from the inside. After breaking it down, he discovered Ellen's body slumped in the kitchen. The knife used in the stabbing was still lodged in her chest. The scene—already jarring—was only the beginning of a series of inexplicable twists. Initial responders classified the death as a suicide. The autopsy, however, cast doubt on that conclusion. The forensic examiner noted the number and distribution of stab wounds, ultimately ruling her death a homicide. Yet, in an astonishing reversal, investigators later changed the cause of death back to suicide after what has been described as a meeting of law enforcement and forensic officials. The exact details of that meeting have not been disclosed publicly. Fast-forward to the present: the Greenbergs are not only seeking to hold city officials accountable but are also petitioning the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to amend Ellen's death certificate to reflect “undetermined” as the cause of death. Their argument? That the current classification of suicide is not just inaccurate but an insult to the evidence—and to Ellen's memory. Recent developments have added new layers of complexity. Following conflicts of interest within the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office and the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office, the case was handed to the Chester County District Attorney's Office. After a re-examination of the evidence, Chester County announced it could not definitively determine if a crime had been committed. For the Greenbergs, this was a devastating blow—not just to their quest for justice, but to the very idea that truth can prevail over institutional inertia. The Greenbergs' legal team has raised concerns about the police crime scene investigation, alleging it may have been compromised because the apartment was cleaned before a thorough forensic examination. Whether this was a procedural oversight or something more remains unclear. For the legal experts following the case, this alleged mishandling underscores a broader issue: the delicate balance between preserving evidence and maintaining procedural integrity in the immediate aftermath of a crime. Beyond the courtroom, the Greenbergs' battle has sparked a wave of public interest, with advocacy groups and legal scholars weighing in on the implications of the case. Many see Ellen's story as emblematic of larger systemic issues, from the handling of crime scenes to the classification of suspicious deaths. Social media campaigns, petitions, and public forums have amplified the Greenbergs' call for transparency, turning their private grief into a public crusade for reform. For now, the case is in limbo. The judge who presided over the hearing has yet to issue a ruling, leaving all parties in a state of suspended animation. For the Greenbergs, the waiting is nothing new, but their resolve has never wavered. They continue to push for answers, driven by a determination to honor their daughter's memory and ensure that no other family endures a similar ordeal. Outside the courtroom, the snow has long since melted, but the chill of unanswered questions remains. For those following Ellen's case, one thing is clear: this fight isn't just about a young woman's tragic death. It's about the system that was supposed to find answers—and whether it failed her, or worse, chose to look the other way.  Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
