Have you ever wanted to run? Hide it away? Run because they're chasing you down? Do you just wanna run, throw it away? Run before they're finding you out? Well, good news, Downtown Friction enjoyer, because our Poker Fun Run is THIS FRIDAY and we're runnin', makin' poker hands, and having a blast. You also don't have to run -- you can walk or stroll or roll or shuffle or dance, it's up to you. From 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., we'll be hanging out at Les Gove Park in Auburn, running and making poker hands, and the top 8 win it all! So finishing quickly has no benefit—just luck (and fun).  Parks Coordinator Mackenzie Mullen joins us to talk all about it, and also the Farmers Market, happening each Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Les Gove Park. The market runs through the end of summer, with its last day on September 20. So much fun to be had, so little time.  Stick around and test your knowledge with gambling and Vegas trivia!

What do farmers markets, sulfur supplies, dairy processing and global trade have in common? They all play a role in the strength and security of America's food system.Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan (www.eastleighfarm.com) examines some of the most significant challenges and opportunities facing today's farming community. The conversation explores the importance of farmers markets to local communities and the growing challenges facing independent farmers and processors. He also examines China's influence over critical agricultural resources, including sulfur, and what global supply chain disruptions could mean for fertilizer, food prices and American agriculture. Plus, Doug discusses the latest farm policy developments, concerns surrounding the New World Screwworm, the decline of local dairy processing facilities and why strengthening local food and processing infrastructure could be critical to the future of the American family farm.

Greg Peterson says the only place that lack lives is between our ears — and if you've ever stood in your kitchen staring at 50 pounds of tomatoes, you know he's right. We talk about what to do with all of it. Greg hosts The Urban Farm Podcast (he just passed episode 1,000), and this one runs on both our feeds. We get into the harvest mindset, the one mistake that turns abundance into panic, and a long list of ways to put tomatoes, zucchini, and basil up for winter — including a few I'd never tried until this year. If you're new here: I'm Wendi Bergin, and I believe preparedness brings peace. Not fear. Peace. Chapters 00:00 — Welcome, and why we recorded this for both our audiences 01:20 — "The only place lack lives is between our ears" 02:10 — 40 tomato plants, worm composting, and volunteer tomatoes everywhere 03:30 — Seed starting and seed saving: what a grex is and why you'd want one 04:45 — Wendi's confession: she won't eat a fresh tomato 06:15 — The biggest mistake people make when harvest season starts 07:20 — Freeze first, can later — handling the early trickle 08:15 — Jars, lids, and buying in bulk before you're desperate 10:10 — Pint or quart? Wide mouth or regular? 11:30 — Why Wendi stopped canning seasoned sauce and cans it plain 13:40 — Why tomatoes need added lemon juice now 14:10 — Water bath vs. pressure canning, explained simply 16:00 — Tested recipes, rebel canning, and "when in doubt, throw it out" 19:30 — Bone broth and canning elderberry juice 21:10 — Fixing watery salsa, and the steam juicer trick 22:30 — Freezing tomatoes to release the water 23:40 — Don't throw out tomato water: stews, chili, and cooking pasta in it 25:10 — Roasted tomato sauce, skins on 26:00 — The two separate steps of canning: the recipe and the preserving 26:50 — Azure Standard, and what a bulk buying club actually is 29:00 — Freshly milled grain, Sue Becker, and the sourdough question 31:45 — Grain mills: NutriMill, WonderMill, MockMill 34:00 — Tomato powder and everything you can do with it 36:00 — Too much zucchini: relish, pickles, fritters, mock pineapple 39:00 — Zucchini lasagna with no pasta at all 40:20 — Preparedness brings peace 43:20 — Basil: pesto, basil salt, basil sugar 44:30 — Greg's 1,000 episodes and where to find us both A few things worth writing down The number one harvest-season mistake is walking in unprepared. Count your jars and your lids before the tomatoes come in. Today's tomatoes are less acidic than the ones our mothers canned. Added lemon juice is what makes water bath canning safe for them. Water bath handles high-acid foods — fruits, pickles, relishes, jams, acidified tomatoes. Pressure canning is required for meats and vegetables. Canning plain and seasoning later is simpler, safer, and more versatile. The canning process can throw off the flavor of herbs and spices. Follow tested recipes. USDA guidelines, the Ball Blue Book, your canner's manual. When in doubt, throw it out — the jar is worth more than the beans.

There's a type of heater setup that delivers heat right where you need it and can offer some important advantages over forced air heat, but we don't see many of them in the field. We think lack of knowledge about the technogy is the limiting factor, and it turns out there is also some customization involved, so we got ahold of John Wells at Rimol Greenhouse Systems to break it down for us. The tech we're talking about is called convection tube heating, and it has as much to do with how the heat is delivered as the specs of the heater itself.  The big difference from most heaters is that hot air goes into a plenum (like a manifold) that channels the hot air into multiple separate ducts that are attached to big, perforated plastic tubes that distribute the heat evenly through the greenhouse. The tubes typically run down pathways, and in vining crops they have the advantage of heating the air at the base of the plant, where disease tends to start, and rises from there warming the whole plant. In winter greens crops, it means growers can run the tubes under row cover and only heat the area under cover- meaning you only need to heat the fraction of the greenhouse where your crop is. Listen to this episode to learn about the specs needed to run such a system- plus best practices for cooling the greenhouse with shade cloth.  Connect With Guest: Website: rimol.com Instagram: @rimolgreenhouse Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Farmhand is the all-in-one platform built for direct-market farms — CSA, farmers market, and farmstand growers who'd rather be in the field than juggling five different apps.

Anthony tells the story of his two-year-old son Mason ripping the nose off a $47 Halloween decoration at the Bay Village Farmers Market, forcing him to buy it on the spot rather than negotiate with the vendor. Ken and the crew debate whether Anthony should have tried to work out a deal since it wasn't a retail store, arguing farmers market prices are more negotiable than a chain store's. Talk then shifts to Joe Thomas, with Ken saying he doesn't want a rough offensive line season to spark fan pressure for Thomas to become a coach, comparing that scenario to the old "Bernie Kosar for GM" calls the station used to get. The crew closes by weighing the mixed track record of ex-players turned executives, name-checking John Lynch's success and Mike Mayock's flop in the same role.

The Draft Animal Power Field Days are coming right up from October 2-4, and horse farmers Becky Frye and Donn Hewes tell us how they farm cooperatively thanks to a connection made through the Draft Animal Power Network (DAPNet). In addition to telling us about the ways to learn about horse farming at the Field Days, Becky and Donn tell us what it's like to farm with horses. They both farm at Northland Sheep Farm, one of the oldest organic sheep dairies in the country which Donn and his wife Maryrose Livingston took over from the original owners. Becky Frye runs Horsetail Herb Farm, growing certified organic medicinal and culinary herbs and cut flowers on the same property. Donn and Becky tell us how they share the Suffolk Punch draft horses between the sheep farm's mostly hay-related tasks and the herb farm. We discuss the differences between working with horses and tractors, and how it's possible to run modern machinery like hay balers and motorized sprayers with horses. So, listen to the podcast, then head over to the Shelburne, Vermont October 2-4 to learn hands-on at the Draft Animal Power Field Days!

Join host Justin Forman for a candid conversation with Stephen Ellsworth, co-founder of Poppi, the prebiotic soda brand that went from a Dallas farmers market stand to one of the largest exits in beverage history when PepsiCo acquired it for $2 billion. Stephen walks through the pivotal decisions that shaped Poppi's rise — rewriting the formula a week before Shark Tank, the branding fight that determined whether Poppi would be sold as a health product or a soda, and the negotiating table where his team turned down a $1 billion offer because it “didn't feel right.” But the most striking part of Stephen's story isn't the exit — it's what came after. He opens up about the identity crisis, isolation, and unexpected grief that followed closing the deal, and how wrestling with purpose in the months afterward reshaped his understanding of calling, generosity, and what he calls this next season: not retirement, but “preferment.” Throughout, Stephen traces how his faith — dormant since he was a teenager — was reawakened through the entrepreneurial journey itself, from a providential tax refund that arrived the week his mortgage was due, to the conviction that let him walk away from billion-dollar offers that didn't align with what he and his team believed was right. Key Topics: •      From a Wyoming kitchen to Shark Tank to a $2 billion PepsiCo acquisition •      The branding pivot that turned an apple cider vinegar tonic into a prebiotic soda •      Why Stephen's team walked away from a $1 billion Pepsi offer and a $1.65 billion Keurig Dr Pepper offer •      The unexpected identity crisis and isolation that followed the exit •      Moving from a Mormon upbringing to a faith renewed through entrepreneurship •      Setting up a Donor Advised Fund and learning to give with the same rigor used to build a business Notable Quotes: “Sitting where we are now, a $2 billion exit from a farmers market stand is just wild.” - Stephen Ellsworth “Pepsi is a huge system. If you're gonna buy us, buy us.” - Stephen Ellsworth “The idea of coming to know God more fully through [the entrepreneurial journey] is one of the greatest side benefits of the whole equation.” - Justin Forman

Katie Young moved to Whitehorse, Yukon in 2007 for the adventure — dog sledding, mountains, and a winter practicum — and ended up building one of the North's most beloved CPG brands.  In this episode, she sits down with Phil Chang and Kenny Vannucci to tell the full story of Klondike Kettle Corn: from taking over a popcorn kettle at the local farmers market, to testing packaging at Christmas markets, to landing on shelves and now pushing for national distribution.   It's a candid, funny, and genuinely useful conversation about what it actually takes to scale a food brand from one of the hardest logistics environments in Canada — where you can't grow the corn, shipping air isn't cheap, and there's exactly one Save-On-Foods and one Superstore in town. In this episode: Growing a business and a family "up alongside each other" at the Whitehorse farmers market Why the Yukon is both the challenge AND the secret advantage (single-store markets, fierce local pride, built-in test population) The move from farmers market to retail: learning wholesale vs. retail pricing on the spot The Venture Park Accelerator, the Sobeys Local conversation, and "get into my competitor first, then come back" Landing TJX and going coast-to-coast fast — and why a Kamloops co-packer made it possible Filming Dragon's Den, the hometown watch party, and the e-commerce boost that followed The reality of the national grind: brokers, funding, and trusting-but-verifying your numbers Whether you're a founder in a remote market, a CPG operator, or just love a great Canadian entrepreneur story, this one delivers.

There are two sources of inspiration for this week's interview: one was Rebecca Kutzer-Rice's article “Why and how we automated our flower greenhouses,” which you can read here. And the other is the 40hr Farmer live greenhouse coaching and video course, brought to you by Growing for Market and Orisha greenhouse automation (it's also free for all GFM subscribers by the way- get the code to register from the home page when you log in). Now, The 40hr Farmer is currently an in-depth look at greenhouse tomato growing, but in the future we are going to expand it to other crops.  And since we know Rebecca knows about automating GH flower crops from her article, and that greenhouse flowers can be as profitable if not more so than greenhouse vegetables, we wanted to get her opinion on which flower crops would be most important to cover when we get to flowers. Listen to this interview to hear why Rebecca recommends ranunculus, snapdragons and lisianthus as some of the GH flower crops that might need their own courses, and why growers are so obsessed with their greenhouses. We also talk about the greenhouse set points for these crops, climate settings for reducing disease in flower crops in general, maximizing production, why sometimes it can actually be cheaper and more efficient to grow a crop hotter, and more.

When we asked what insect pests were bugging you, we got so many questions it turned into two podcast episodes! So, this week we sit back down with Dr. Anna Wallingford of New Hampshire Community Supported Research to answer the second half of the bug questions submitted by the audience. The first half of this podcast ran the week of 7/7/26 so you can still listen to that one if you haven't yet. There's also a free article linked in the show notes- cabbage aphids come up in the interview, so we linked to Dr. Wallingford's article from the June/July Growing for Market Magazine, “Scouting guidelines for brassica crops so you know what's OK and when to act.” In this week's interview we compare some of the organically-approved pest control options, like the difference between clarified and cold-pressed neem oil, and why only the former has azadirachtin. On that tip we also talk about why sub-lethal doses of some pesticides can make insects reproduce even more, and why BT is so well targeted to just the bugs that are damaging your plants. We also talk about controlling thrips, cabbage aphids, whether ants can be a farm pest, garden flea hoppers and tarnished plant bugs, cyclamen mites and more in this episode of the Growing for Market Podcast!  Connect With Guest: Website: New Hampshire Community Supported Research The Serious Grower Podcast Instagram: @nhcsr_ipm @seriousgrower Read Dr. Wallingford's article from the June/July Growing for Market Magazine: “Scouting guidelines for brassica crops so you know what's OK and when to act.” Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Seven Springs Farm Supply is a farm-based supply company focused on serving market gardeners and has been in business for 35 years.

Trish, founder of Kettle & Hive, joins This Commerce Life to share how a coworker's break-time basket of lemons, ginger, and honey sparked the idea for a fresh, spoonable lemon and honey tea — made with just two ingredients, no corn syrup, no thickeners, no shortcuts. From her first job as a day baker at Tim Hortons to quitting her job after one exhausting-but-successful farmers market season, Trish walks us through the real journey of building a small-batch food business in BC: honing recipes 20 jars at a time, using baker's math to scale batches, moving from a home kitchen to shared commercial kitchens to her own facility with a 60-gallon steam kettle — and learning the hard way what it costs to sell out and cancel a Christmas market because production couldn't keep up. Whether you're still selling at craft fairs or eyeing your first distributor conversation, this episode is a masterclass in growing a CPG food brand the right way — one honest customer conversation at a time.

Is El Salvador still Bitcoin country, or did the world move on the moment the IMF deal got signed? Mike sits down with Will Lehr (@thewilliamlehr) from Club Cocal, James (@beefbackbetter) from Beef Back Better, and Ronny Avendano (@ronnyavendano_) from the Bitcoin Hardware Store to talk about the Bitcoin farmers market, El Salvador real estate, self custody, and what life on a Bitcoin standard actually looks like on the ground today.The conversation starts with the Bitcoin farmers market, which just hit its three year anniversary. What began as a small gathering in El Zonte has grown into a real engine of local commerce, connecting Salvadoran vendors, ranchers, and artisans directly with the people buying from them. No intermediaries or faceless supply chain, just a producer, a buyer, and Bitcoin changing hands. The group traces how it moved from El Zonte to its current home at Club Cocal and why it's become the meeting point for Bitcoiners from all over the country.From there the talk shifts to why so many people are choosing to build their lives here in the first place. Will calls it a reverse brain drain, skilled people and capital flowing into El Salvador instead of out of it, drawn by a level of freedom and safety they say they can't find at home anymore. Several guests point to what they see as government overreach elsewhere, unrealized capital gains taxes in the Netherlands, wallet registration requirements in the EU, Bitcoin ATMs disappearing in Canada, as the exact pressure pushing people toward a country that's betting the other direction.That bet shows up clearest in El Salvador real estate. Will walks through what he calls a Bitcoin floor underneath land values here, and makes the case that El Zonte now holds some of the most expensive property per square foot in the entire country. Whether that's a sign of a healthy market or a bubble waiting to pop is left for the viewer to decide, but the group is clear about where they're placing their own money.The episode closes on something bigger than any single topic, the idea that self custody and freedom tech aren't just Bitcoin concepts, they're a full lifestyle. Ronny connects owning your own keys to owning your own food source, your own health, your own decisions, and the group makes the case that El Salvador is quietly becoming a real world test case for hyper-bitcoinization, one farmers market, one hardware store, and one ranch at a time. Drop a comment and tell us if you think El Salvador is still worth the bet. Subscribe if you want more of these conversations, and share it with the friend who keeps asking if the Bitcoin country story is over.—Bitcoin Beach TeamLearn more about the guests:Will Lehr — Club CocalX (personal): x.com/thewilliamlehrX (Club Cocal): x.com/ClubCocalX (Unbound Assets): x.com/UnboundAssetsInstagram: instagram.com/club.cocalWeb: clubcocal.comWeb: unboundassets.comJames — Beef Back Better & Bitcoin Farmer MarketX: x.com/beefbackbetterX: x.com/btcfarmersmrktInstagram: instagram.com/beefbackbettersvInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinfarmersmarketWebsite: beefbackbetter.comWebsite: bitcoinfarmersmarket.orgLinktree: linktr.ee/beefbackbetterLinktree: https://linktr.ee/bitcoinfarmersmarketGithub: github.com/sovITxyz/bitcoinfarmersmarket.orgRonny Avendano — Bitcoin Hardware StoreX (personal): x.com/ronnyavendano_X (store): x.com/tbhs_svWeb: tbhs.svSupport and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: https://www.bitcoinbeach.comSTAY AT BITCOIN BEACH: https://www.stayatbitcoinbeach.com/punta-mango-villasBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00  Intro02:31  History of the Bitcoin farmers market in El Salvador08:26  Club Cocal, Beef Back Better, and Bitcoin Hardware Store, who runs them16:07  What it's like running a Bitcoin only hardware store in El Zonte19:34  How much has El Zonte changed since Bitcoin arrived22:15  Is El Salvador still Bitcoin country after the IMF deal27:38  How food sovereignty connects to Bitcoin's sovereignty philosophy30:53  Carnivore diet results, what actually changes when you go full meat40:38  Is El Salvador real estate in a bubble, or is there a Bitcoin floor50:00  What's next for the Bitcoin farmers market and the Bitcoin Histórico rodeo Live From Bitcoin Beach

Did Denver really figure out how to solve homelessness? British news magazine The Economist recently touted Mayor Mike Johnston's long-term initiative to get people into shelter, and the 64% drop in unsheltered homelessness since 2023 – but what did they miss? City Cast Denver regular Michelle Jackson joins host Bree Davies to discuss the mayor's “all in” shelter plan. They also compare the latest homelessness work in Denver to Aurora's new tiered shelter and Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman's decision to sleep at a shelter one night a week since February. Plus, they debate the merits of McDonald's throwback fried apple pie and talk about the state of vendor variety – or lack thereof – at local farmers markets. Bree mentioned her conversation about the behind-the-scenes work at farmers markets with City Park Farmers Market co-owner Peter Wanberg. Sign up for Keep it Local!

It's that time of year when the pests and the questions about how to keep them in check are building up. So, in keeping with the mission of Dr. Anna Wallingford's New Hampshire Community Supported Research to respond to what growers are wondering about, we surveyed our audience and asked her how to deal with the insect pests that are bugging you this time of year. In fact, we got so many bug questions this turned into a two-parter, so in this installment we talk about how to tell which of three potential pests tomato leafminer might be.  We also talk about how to deal with cucumber beetle feeding damage and the bacterial wilt they can cause, how to deal with allium leafminer, and whether high brix can deter pests or not. We also talk about how to control leaf footed bugs, flea beetles, aphid control in high tunnels, Colorado potato beetles and slugs.

Ashley Sauve was 12 years old when she started selling mini straw bales to Canadian Tire stores from her family's cash crop farm. Today, she owns Sauve's Country Market in South Woodslee, Ontario — a destination farm market in Windsor-Essex County that customers happily drive 45 minutes to visit, even though there's no gas station, grocery store, or Tim Hortons anywhere nearby. In this episode, Ashley shares how a $20 fall porch package posted on Facebook — no paid ads — sparked a business that outgrew a 400 sq ft shed built by her dad and uncles, and led to a brand-new 2,400 sq ft store with a walk-in cooler, commercial kitchen, donuts, and ice cream.   Check them out here: https://sauvescountrymarket.my.canva.site/ Thank you to Haddas Lederman and Rebecca Schuetz at Ontario Made for the introduction to Ashley Check out Ontario Made here: https://supportontariomade.ca/ Thank you to Maritime Good Food for sponsoring today's podcast.

When he was running Ardelia Farm in Vermont, Bailey Hale found that many trending flower varieties were not available in quantities market farmers could use, or available at all, which led him to start brokering orders with other growers. In this interview, we hear about how that business grew until Farmer Bailey plant brokerage became the full-time business and moved to Portugal. Bailey tells us how his background as a floral designer and farmer helps him spot new varieties that will become important for flower growers.  Bailey and host Rebecca Kutzer-Rice of Moonshot Farm discuss why growers are trying more fall planting of bulbs, what to start from seed and what to use plugs for, and thoughts on plug sizing. They also talk about coming developments in ranunculus, nigella, campanula, evergreen campanula, and dahlia breeding, including winter dahlias. They also talk about Bailey's sweet peas and methods for growing them, and what they would do if they were starting over. Rebecca's article from the May Growing for Market Magazine came up during the interview, so we linked it here if you want to read about “Strategies for reducing plant input costs on flower farms.” Connect With Guest: Website: farmerbailey.com Instagram: @farmerbaileyplugs Read the article “Strategies for reducing plant input costs on flower farms” by host Rebecca Kutzer-Rice from the May 2026 Growing for Market Magazine Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Nifty Hoops builds complete gothic high tunnels that are easy to install and built to last.  Their bolt-together construction makes setup straightforward and efficient, whether it's a small backyard hoophouse, or a dozen large production-scale high tunnels- especially through their community build option, where professional builders work alongside your crew, family, or neighbors to build each structure -- usually in a single day.Visit niftyhoops.com to learn more.

Soil is finally getting the attention it deserves, and though many of the best practices in the field hold true in the greenhouse, there are some important differences and that's what we talk about this week with Judson Reid. We talk about why you can't apply all the fertility a long-season crop like tomatoes need at the beginning of the season, and how to handle supplemental fertility needs. Judson tells us why water may be the most important input going into your greenhouse and what to get it tested for. We also discuss how much organic matter is too much, why too much calcium can throw your soil out of balance over time, and how foliar testing can tell you whether your fertility plan is working or not before deficiencies show up. Some of this is covered in the Cornell publication “High Tunnel Best Management Practices- Long Term Soil Health and Fertility,” linked in the show notes.
