We made this episode to fill you all in on how the recent herb farm tour went.  In December I took a beautiful group of existing and emerging herb farmers down to Lutruwita aka Tasmania, to visit three different scale organic herb farms.  It was such an incredible adventure that I am still integrating and digesting.We visited a small, medium and large scale herb farm on the tour, having the honour of being welcomed to Gould's farm, Hop Valley Farm, and Marleen Herbs.  My intention was/is to see more potent organic herb production in Australia.  This is such an important thing to be putting our energy into, considering that over 90% of the herbs in commercial circulation are grown overseas. Its estimated that 90% of what you see at most retail outlets, in herbal preparations and herbal/naturopathic dispensaries is imported.Ann Armbrecht in her book The Business of Botanicals, states that herbs can change hands as many as 10 to 15 times on their journey from the original source (farmer or wildcrafter) to the final product on a store shelf. Even with strict regulations in Australia, the herbs that we import are often adulterated, fumigated, irradiated, misidentified and stored in poor conditions resulting in poor quality.  Often the growers/foragers/manufacturers/companies don't actually even like their job, let alone care about the ‘consumer' of the herb.  So imagine what energy is being transferred into the herb! I would like to extend boundless gratitude to our wonderful farm hosts, Greg Whitten, Kala, Monica Francia, Cara, Ronald, Marleen and Emma Van de Winckel. It really was such an honour to be welcomed into the homes and farms of these inspiring, powerful and humble farmers. To be in the energy of their down to earth, salt of the land lifestyles. All of them were so forthcoming and would love to see more herb farmers emerging around Australia.Thanks also to the beautiful souls who came on this adventure and for being so flexible and adaptable with all the twists and turns.SHOWNOTES:The Business of BotanicalsHerbal HarvestEmail me if you would like to purchase a PDF for $40: info@alchemillaherbals. com.au2026 Lutruwita Herb Farm Tour expression of interest:https://forms.gle/RLqNUHSdbwHCbpQW6*BUY ME A CUPPA*If you liked the episode and want more, a cuppa fuels our work and time, which is given for free.

What happens when a family leaves the city behind to restore 562 hectares of degraded land using nothing but regenerative agriculture, resilience, and relentless creativity?In this unmissable episode, we take you inside Terramay, a pioneering farm in southern Portugal where Anna and David de Brito, along with livestock manager Elias Gellweiler, are transforming exhausted soils into abundant ecosystems. From soil-free hillsides turned market gardens to chickens making compost at speed, this is regenerative agriculture at its most ambitious and inspiring. You'll hear how agroforestry, holistic grazing, and circular food systems come together to form a living, breathing model for farming in the age of climate crisis.

Northeast Farmers Market SeasonHost Amaris Pollock welcomed Devin Cornia who is the Executive Director of the Northeast Farming Association of New Jersey back to the show. They discuss the upcoming farmers market season and the opportunity for people to interact with farmers and learn about agriculture.  They also discussed Devin's history within the industry, along with some of the programs, initiatives, and the publication "The Natural Farmer" which NOFA provides to the community.NOFA's Local Food Initiatives:Devin explains that NOFA (Northeast Organic Farming Association) is a 50-year-old organization with seven state chapters supporting organics, land stewardship, and local food. The New Jersey chapter, which is 40 years old, focuses on supporting community and economic vehicles that make local food work. Devin discusses the challenges and opportunities in the current economic environment, emphasizing the need for collaboration and investment in local economies to build resilient, self-reliant food systems. He also highlights the importance of organic farming for health and the environment, and shares two exciting projects: a commercial kitchen to support value-added product creation for farmers, and a grains project involving a documentary and grain processing equipment installation to strengthen the local grain economy.NOFA-NJ Updates and Initiatives:Devin also discussed NOFA-NJ's upcoming events and website, encouraging people to check for future activities starting in July. Amaris and Devin also talked about NOFA-NJ's outdoor project which is nearly complete and can accommodate around 50 people. That space will open the doors to future opportunities for dining events, discussions, and more--which both farmers and the surrounding communities can benefit from. ------------------------------------------- Next Segment------------------------------------------Annette Anthony's Book Tour Event at Free Library:Annette Anthony, author of "Always Enough: A Global Memoir," discusses her upcoming event at the Free Library of Philadelphia as part of World Heritage Week.

Pioneering Hemp in Africa: Insights from South Africa's Hemp LeadersWelcome back to the Let's Talk Hemp podcast, Volume Up! I'm your host, Morris Beagle, and today we're diving into the vibrant hemp and cannabis scene in Cape Town, South Africa. After an enriching experience at the Kenya Hemp Conference, I spent nearly three weeks in Cape Town, exploring the local industry and meeting some incredible people.Highlights from Cape TownHemporium and the Hemp HotelI had the pleasure of staying at the Hemp Hotel, the tallest hemp structure in the world, with my colleague Paul Benham from the Hemp Plastic Company. The hotel used over 60 tons of hemp in its construction, offering a unique and sustainable experience. Hemporium, a hemp retail shop located in the same building, has been a pioneer in the industry since 1996. Tony Budden, the founder, shared insights into the versatility of hemp and the importance of creating a sustainable market.Key ConversationsTony Budden, Hemporium: Tony discussed the challenges and opportunities in the hemp industry, emphasizing the need for local hemp genetics and the potential of biophilic design in creating natural living spaces.Trenton Birsch, Chiba Africa Hemp and Cannabis Training Academy: Trenton's academy is a government-approved and accredited school, providing essential training in hemp and cannabis cultivation.Natie Ferreira, Daga Pharmacy Cannabis Farms: Natty, an ornamental horticulturist and agronomist, shared his expertise in hemp and cannabis genetics, highlighting the importance of local adaptation for successful cultivation.Tanya Clarke, Invigrow: Tanya, who recently relocated from Malawi, has been a significant player in the hemp and cannabis industry. She discussed the regulatory landscape and the potential for regional markets in Africa.Regulatory InsightsSouth Africa is making strides with new regulations, including a proposed 2% THC limit, which is more lenient than the current 0.2-0.3% in Europe and the US. This change could significantly benefit local farmers and the industry as a whole.Future ProspectsThe conversations I had in Cape Town were enlightening and inspiring. The local industry is poised for growth, with a strong focus on sustainability and innovation. I look forward to spending more time in South Africa and continuing to amplify the message of hemp's potential.Sponsor AcknowledgmentA big thank you to our sponsor, Her Many Voices, a platform where grassroots activism meets indigenous wisdom to benefit all of Earth's inhabitants.

Unlike the first clip, which was 33 seconds of "Unfinished," the last piece of music he recorded with Eddie, this one is titled "Overture" and it's Alex basically eulogizing his little brother.

Michael Bernard Fitzgerald is an artist who's always expressed what's most important to him through his songs. He's also been incredibly meticulous throughout his career, taking care to build a unique and heartfelt connection to his audience and striving to create an unforgettable live setting for his music.  He's elevated the sharing of live music to a high art in itself — whether it's inviting Calgary Folk Fest goers to join him at picnic tables to eat pie in the sun, taking to the stage with 300 backing singers at the Jubilee Auditorium or, as we hear him in this particular setting, going into his Farm Tour mode to immerse audience and performer alike in a whisper-quiet, impossibly intimate moment of musical expression.  Although his brand-new album Horizon Lines contains colossal hooks, massive production flourishes, and the trademark sense of pop music maximalism that has always made MBF's work so exhilarating. Although, the heart of his songcraft, as ever, lies in his voice and his guitar. That's the sensibility that he foregrounds during his very intimate Farm Tours, which is the very mode in which we caught up with him for this Hidden Track Session in CKUA's Live Performance Space in Edmonton.  Just ahead of the September 27th release of Horizon Lines, Michael Bernard Fitzgerald played beautifully hushed, solo acoustic renditions of the title track, first single “After a While”, and MBF staple “Good Plates”. He also shared some insight behind where the songs mugs come from, the inspiration he draws from his burgeoning family, and just exactly what a Farm Tour is all about.  Host: Grant Stovel | Producer: Scott Zielsdorf | Graphics: Craig Taffs | Music: Doug Hoyer Mixing assistance for this Session provided by Charlotte Carr.  The Hidden Track Podcast is made possible by the generosity of our donor community.
