Now this was a passionate conversation! Today we have a chat with Nick Holiday from Belvedere Farm and cover a wide range of topics including Agroecology, and why there's an important distinction between that and regenerative agriculture, the pressure on ethical farmers to follow more industrialised methods and why they are resisting. We also dispel some myths about egg production and the important difference between “free range” and “pasture raised”, which continues on from the conversation in our last episode with Stuart Andrews. The idea of community is a vital part of this convo, and Nick is a strong and outspoken advocate for ethical producers working together and competing with larger commercial producers rather than each other. Nick and Brydie Holliday are Belvedere Farm, an agroecological farm caring for a mix of owned and leased land on unceded Jinibara country near Maleny. Their main focus is looking after country, building community and destroying factory farming and the systems that support it. As a byproduct of that work, they produce delicious pasture-raised eggs, heritage-breed pork and grass fed and finished beef. This convo gets a little controversial at times and calls out some major players in the industry. Through it all, you will grow to love Nick as we do for putting his everything into everything he does. Enjoy. - - Thank you for watching.

I've come to realize that it's not a hopeless feat. There's not some formula. There's not an equation. The answers to what would help us progress into a more sustainable and reliable future, we know. We know. It's just a matter of unlearning and re-rooting and getting back to that untouched places in us that has all those answers. And I really do think that it's just being a human being again. - Kinley The peace that I've been searching for all my life - the answers are all inside of me. - Holly Keep walking. The good will follow. Don't look back. - Ryan We're not just reading about (this sustainable way of life), or re-enacting the past, there are real life things happening here all the time. - Lauren A feeling that I'd like to share is the feeling of ease and connection and knowing that we're not alone. The work that you're doing is affecting what I'm doing. - Liz For me, transformation is sometimes nothing more than affirmation and coming back to ourselves and being able to work from our heart and authenticity. - Jan If we can learn to listen more to our hearts and less to our heads, we might find ourselves having a different perspective on life and the world and our fellow creatures. - Margaret Music: "Love and Revolution" by Diane Patterson and Spirit Radio www.dianepatterson.org About Your Co-hosts: Sherri Mitchell (Penobscot) is an Indigenous rights attorney, writer and activist who melds traditional life-way teachings into spirit-based movements.
