Happy new year, and happy birthday to FARM ON! The show is turning one year old, and I want to send a hearty THANK YOU to everyone for tuning in, and sharing these episodes with like-minded folks. As a documentary director and producer, STEVE SUDERMAN has spent the last decade immersing himself in intimate and personal stories of people going through life-altering experiences. This trajectory started with Over Land (2008), a portrait of his own family in crisis as they lose their farm on the Canadian prairies. The bulk of our conversation is on Steve's feature documentary, TO MAKE A FARM. The film follows five young people with urban backgrounds who decide to take up small scale organic farming. Facing daily challenges and overwhelming obstacles their first season on the land, joys and disappointments become a quiet manifesto for social change. To Make A Farm won the Santa Cruz audience choice award as well as three Golden Sheaf awards including Best of Festival in 2012. It was commissioned by TVO. Soon to premiere on TVO and CBC documentary channel is Steve's new feature documentary, BEYOND THE SPECTRUM. This multi-platform project includes a theatrical documentary and mobile app. The film delves into the story of a family grappling with their two-year-old son's autism diagnosis. The accompanying free app (My Autism Passport), created through a partnership with St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, is designed to help parents plan, navigate and manage their child’s developmental treatment journey after they have received an autism diagnosis.

In the early 60's, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was instrumental as a catalyst for the modern environmental movement. In fact, Silent Spring altered the course of history by forcing a ban on the herbicide DDT - an active ingredient in Agent Orange during the Vietnam war - and spurring sweeping changes in the laws that affect our air, land, and water. My guest today has been compared to Carson for her book White Wash: The story of a weed killer, cancer, and the corruption of science. And it's a valid comparison. CAREY GILLAM is a veteran investigative journalist with 25 years under her belt as former senior correspondent for Reuters international news service, and she's been researching and writing about the health dangers associated with the agrochemical companies - namely Monsanto - and their products - namely RoundUp otherwise known as glyphosate - which continue to be so widely used in our food that we could easily remain uninformed if it weren't for the dedicated reporting of journalists like Gillam and organizations like the US Right To Know, a group that is Pursuing truth and transparency in America's food system. Interviewing Carey was a stretch for me since she is an expert interviewer herself, but I think we had a good chat. I started by asking her about one of her most frequently practiced skills: filing for Freedom of Information Act requests. I hope you enjoy.

My good friend and New Zealander nomad VANESSA BECK takes the controls of this episode of FARM ON, and interviews poet and author HEATHER SWAN. Vanessa was the natural choice for this conversation since she and Swan share many traits in common: a keen sensibility for the natural world, deep compassion for the work of restoration, and first-hand experience with the art of BEEKEEPING. They spend the hour chatting about Swan's new book WHERE HONEYBEES THRIVE: STORIES FROM THE FIELD (Penn State University Press), which is "part love song, part lament, and part quest", and all love. Love for the honeybee, love for the people who spend their lives studying it, and love for endless pursuit of understanding through research. In this talk, Swan explains how her journey in the field led her all over the world to learn from beekeepers, farmers and scientists. She also explores the inner life of a handful of artists whose shared muse is the archetype of the honeybee, and whose artwork shuffles the book's chapters in a kind of lyrical poem that straddles the intellect and the creative mind.

MASANOBU FUKUOKA'S manifesto for natural farming ONE-STRAW REVOLUTION (1975) was as much a revelation to me as it has been for millions of readers worldwide. It has been translated into more languages than can be accounted for, and is regarded as one of the essential titles for PERMACULTURE practitioners. Its blending of straight-forward instruction, hard-won life examples, and Zen-like wisdom has captivated audiences in the way that no other book on sustainable agriculture can touch. "The One-Straw Revolution is one of the founding documents of the alternative food movement, and indispensable to anyone hoping to understand the future of food and agriculture." — Michael Pollan Subsequent books THE NATURAL WAY OF FARMING and my personal favorite SOWING SEEDS IN THE DESERT continued Fukuoka's energetic command of his craft: allowing nature to do what it does best with little or no effort for control by human beings. For this episode of FARM ON, I am lucky enough to speak with the man who lived on Fukuoka's farm in the '70's and then translated his book for English-speakers, LARRY KORN. Larry talks about getting assistance from WENDELL BERRY, his life as a young farm-wanderer in rural japan, and his continued work spreading the good word of natural farming as well as his other projects conducting workshops and helping contemporary authors of the same ilk. Larry's story is told in his book ONE-STRAW REVOLUTIONARY, which serves as a valuable companion to its literary namesake, and decodes Fukuoka's eastern spiritualistic way for the Western reader.

Co-hosted by VANESSA BECK. For this episode of Farm On, Joe and Vanessa have a nice chat with NAAMAN GAMBILL, co-owner of Chicago's first and only retail store dedicated solely to beekeeping equipment, services, and education. Naaman's rural Indiana work ethic shines through in this talk, as does his dedication to improving the lives of people who live in the city's most under-appreciated neighborhoods.

Co-hosted by VANESSA BECK. For this episode we were fortunate to share an hour with a true renaissance woman of the earth: NANCE KLEHM. Nance has been an ecological systems designer, landscaper, horticultural consultant, and permacultural grower for more than two decades. Her approach is centered on instigating change by activating already existent communities, and her work demonstrates her lifelong commitment to redefining the way human populations coexist with plant and animal systems on this planet. Vanessa and I discovered Nance's world through a new documentary film called WEEDEATER, which is a beautifully-produced slice of Nance and her universe. Learn more about Nance's film WEEDEATER, her summer camp PACHAMANKA, her social ecology project THE GROUND RULES, and much, much more here: spontaneousvegetation.net P.S.

Lavern Phillips was born and raised in Canton, Oklahoma - current population 615. He loves to tell stories about his Grandpa Andy, a hardscrabble second generation German immigrant who settled near the epicenter of the dust bowl to stake his claim as a farmer. Now 72, Lavern was the first person in his family to go to college. He went on to become a successful businessman and family man, but his heart remained on the farm. In this conversation, Lavern remembers what he calls the "good life": tasting home-brewed beer, waking with the summer breeze...and he even explains an oddity of telephone history called the Party Line. Oh, and did I mention that he's my dad? P.S. Farm On is currently seeking sponsors to help cover the cost of our web hosting and coffee intake. Message @FarmOnDharma to learn more.

Since 1979, Barbara Stone has used images of polar bears as a personal symbol in her art. She's done research in the Northwest Territories (not in the Yukon as I incorrectly stated in the podcast), has artwork included in the collection of the White House & Smithsonian, and has traveled the world collecting inspiration for new work. She's also a talented storyteller. For our conversation, I wanted to hear Barbra's personal stories about her current life: living in the remote grasslands of Northern Colorado raising sheep, llama, geese, turkeys and chickens, and becoming well versed in what she calls "non verbal communication" with the natural world.
