In this episode, we visit with Orin Nusbaum from Nusbaum Farms in Bellfountain, Oregon — a grower, husband, father, and content creator who's cultivating more than just crops. Orin gives us a glimpse into what life looks like on his diversified farm where he grows a variety of crops and provides fresh produce to local markets and his surrounding community.We explore how the farm has evolved over time — including planting 10 acres of oats in fall 2022, a crop that may have been a first for the operation — and how he navigates the unpredictability of farming, like this past season's surprise combine fire. Orin also shares how his family plays an active role on the farm: his wife, kids, and even the dog stay involved in everything from harvest to road trips to answering calls when things get busy.Celebrating 20 years of marriage, Orin and his wife have built a life around faith, family, and farming. Their teamwork, especially during harvest and hay season, is something that truly sets Nusbaum Farms apart. We talk social media, small-town support, and why it's so important to be present — both online and in the rows. If you love stories about families growing food, navigating challenges, and doing it all together, this episode is for you. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

What you see online is not real. This has long been a reliable axiom for information consumption on the internet. But social media and SEO marketers have long relied on their engagement metrics as an exception to that rule—critical quantitative data that can't be faked and can be leveraged to demonstrate the value of a campaign or piece of content. Except in 2025, it's just not reliable any more. That is because sophisticated operations called "bot farms" have built swarms of networked smart phones designed to mimic the organic engagement that drives social media algorithms. At a command, these bot farms can create a cascade of authentic-seeming engagement that's nearly indistinguishable from the real thing, catapulting selected posts to the top of social media feeds. International state actors can wage propaganda wars. Financial influencers can pump up the value of assets they hold. And, more and more, global brands can leverage bot activity to drive their messaging to the top of feeds, manufacture social proof, and astro-turf the impression of favorability. So in this episode, we're talking to digital PR expert Eric Schwartzman, whose firm helps clients with brand management, reputation monitoring, crisis management, and corporate communications. He also recently published an expose for Fast Company on the rise of bot farms and its implications. Together, we'll learn how bot farmers manipulate the algorithm, what means are available to detect inauthentic activity, and why social media networks are slow to react. Plus, we'll explore the moral quandary that social media and SEO marketers increasingly face in this brave new world: If everyone else is using bots to drive engagement... should you?

The nutrition title was first included in the 1973 farm bill. It's projected to make up 84% of total Farm Bill spending, with most of the funds going to SNAP. That's because the program helps more than 40 million low-income individuals provide food for their families each month. Some of those people are farmers. In this episode, we talk to Mark Nicholson, Senior Director of Policy at the Fair Food Network to dig into how the farm bill links farms and food access.  And we'll talk to farmers about how they are uniquely positioned to directly provide nutritious food for the families in their communities. Mark Nicholson, Senior Director of Policy, Fair Food NetworkMark joined the Fair Food Network after an extensive career in leading organizations involved in national agriculture policy and specialty crop production. He is a third-generation apple farmer and spent much of his professional life co-running a New York-based family business, including developing value-added products to increase revenue to the farm. His work advocating for the specialty crop industry over the past two decades earned him national recognition as a skilled and dedicated policy expert, included roles as the Chairman of the Board and member of the Government Affairs Committee for the U.S. Apple Association (USApple). Mark also spent time in his early career working in government at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and at USApple. Mark brings multiple perspectives to the agriculture policy world, and a strong passion and understanding for the myriad issues that face family farms today.

Our First Venture To South Dakota Black Fork Farms' roots trace back to Gordon Omen's great-great-grandfather, Poppy J Omen, who immigrated from Germany and farmed in Southwest Minnesota. The distillery operates on the same land where Gordon grew up, now primarily dedicated to distilling operations. Gordon's inspiration came during a trip to Budapest, where he experienced a field-to-glass bourbon that sparked his vision for creating something similar using his family's agricultural expertise. While not a control state, South Dakota has its own share of challenges - distribution, limited visitor traffic, and some of the coldest weather in the lower 48. Tyler joins me to talk through these challenges and how BlackFork Farms is overcoming them.  It's a small operation, but boy that gift pack was beautiful, and they clearly care about the grain and cask - and that's all that matters.  Thank you to Tyler for entering the Whiskey Ring!

Senate Bill 628 aimed to support farm employers and workers affected by California's overtime law. The bill was rejected along party lines despite support from farm groups and labor advocates.

Private companies and state governments have long exploited the 13th Amendment to create a profitable agribusiness system that runs on prison slave labor. “If you look at the history of agriculture in the United States, it's built on dispossession, it's built on enslavement,” says Joshua Sbicca, director of the Prison Agriculture Lab, and the legacy of that violence lives on in the big business of “agricarceral” farming today. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host and former political prisoner Mansa Musa speaks with Sbicca about the prisoners farming our food, the parties profiting from their exploitation, and the ongoing fight to uphold the basic rights and dignity of incarcerated workers.Producer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoHelp us continue producing Rattling the Bars by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on BlueskyLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

#223: JM Fortier shares his vision for farming as a pathway to food sovereignty. From his home in Quebec, JM has helped lead a growing movement of small-scale, soil-based farmers working to reconnect communities with their food. Through his work with the Market Gardener Institute, he's offering tools, structure, and encouragement to a new generation hungry for change. This is a grounded and inspiring look at how living soil, real skills, and deep purpose can rebuild the food system from the roots up.https://realorganicproject.org/jm-fortier-farms-for-food-sovereignty-223JM Fortier is a farmer, educator, and author from Quebec, Canada, who also appears on a weekly television show. He is known for promoting a culture that replicates small-scale diversified farms that rely on market gardening strategies (direct sales of cash crops to community members) and human-powered growing practices. In the late spring of 2024, JM and his fried Chris Moran launched the Market Gardener Podcast:https://themarketgardener.com/podcast/You can learn more about JM and his many adventures here:https://www.en.jeanmartinfortier.com/The Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/directoryWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

Wednesday, May 14 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including a focus on farm real estate selling very well right now amongst a scarcity of land happening around the country and which states have the most options, the potential for agriculture to be greenhouse gas negative, and farmers experiencing increased allergies. Then, Doug introduces us to Corrinna Sammons, owner of Dragonfly Farm in Franklinton, NC. Dragonfly Farm is known for their hatchlings and hatching eggs, as well as their tips and recommendations for anyone just getting started with their own flock. At Dragonfly Farm, they have chosen breeds that get along well in mixed flocks, and give variety in both egg color, and feather color. They have tried many other breeds, but have kept only those breeds that seem to outshine the others. Plus, they are very particular about their roosters, only keeping the most beautiful/correct grow outs, with the most gentle dispositions. They do not keep/breed any rooster that has shown aggression to them, their youngest daughter, or their hens. Aggression in roosters typically passes to their offspring, and no one should have to deal with a nasty rooster. Dragonfly Farm undergoes testing every 6 months by the state for their NPIP-ai certification. You can learn more on DragonflyFarmNC.com. Lastly, Farmer Doug shares news on food and beverages that are loaded with microplastics — sea salt, shrimp and oysters, bottled water, rice, tea and more. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

When many people think of NASA, they just think about looking at stars, planets, and black holes, but they do a lot of work to help agriculture in the United States. Karen St. Germain is the Director of the Earth Science Division at NASA, and she says they work closely with the USDA to better agriculture. Currently they have satellites that watch the weather, measure crop health, read soil moisture levels, and much more. Coming soon they will be launching the NISAR satellite. It will be the most sophisticated radar launched to date, and it will allow them to see any structural changes that happen on the earth as well as measure soil moisture. They are also studying how recent wildfires are affecting the crops within the United States. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Soybean Association.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the first of this two-part series, we are highlighting Growing for Good and the relationships it fosters between farms and food banks. Since 2020, the Growing for Good program, a partnership between PCC Community Markets, Harvest Against Hunger, and Seattle Neighborhood Farmers Markets, has provided fresh produce to hunger relief agencies and additional income for local farmers. We sat down with two of these pairings to learn more about how Growing for Good has impacted their work. Note: This episode was recorded in October 2023 and some information may be out of date. Please visit Growing for Good online to learn more about their farm and hunger relief partners, current programming, and new fundraising campaign.In this episode, we first hear from Regino Flores and his son Isai Flores of Regino Farms. Regino Farms is a certified organic vegetable and berry farm located in Burlington, Washington, owned and operated by Regino Flores and his wife Martina Gutierrez. After decades of working in the farming industry, they began their own venture through Viva farms' incubator program in 2009. Since then, three of their children have joined the expanding operation which now comprises 11 acres in the Skagit Valley. Regino's sells at multiple farmers markets and supplies several food retailers, recently expanding to include the Ballard Food Bank through the Growing for Good program. Later in the episode we'll hear from the Director of Programs at the Ballard Food Bank, Kathleen Murphy, who will tell us about the other side of Growing for Good, and how the partnership has benefitted participating hunger relief organizations like hers.

Today's episode begins with a grounding and a moment to anchor into your body - exactly what you may need if you've been feeling stressed or overwhelmed. This is how Rachel has been feeling lately. She discusses her new accelerated work day; the first time she has been working at this pace since her burnout. Old patterns have been cropping up, she's had trouble sleeping, but it's all for a beautiful reason: she is opening an exciting new venture with her brother, Ala Farms. She shares the whole story of Ala Farms, from how this land came to be owned by Rachel's ancestors, to what the property is now, and the vision she has for it. Sometimes big steps can throw us off balance, but maybe it's all part of the balance of life - and beginning something that makes your heart soar.

Dreaming of a bougie homesteading lifestyle? Tune in to this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast as host Carol Morgan chats with Jennifer and Rob Beecham of Folia Group about Sanctuaire Farms — a modern farmstead living community in Ball Ground, Georgia, offering 5- to 15-acre homesites designed for sustainable, regenerative living. A Modern Take on Homesteading Located in Cherokee County, Sanctuaire Farms features 54 homesites across 461 acres. Each home includes five to 15 acres of land, ready to be transformed with residents' agricultural visions. Natural, rolling hills and creek-front lots offer scenic views from your front door, while onsite agricultural amenities provide ample opportunities to engage with neighbors and connect as a family. Sanctuaire Farms is thoughtfully designed by Atlanta architect, Steven Kemp. Rob Beecham said, “We are conservationists and we are developing a sustainable, regenerative community that is very green-centered.” After the COVID-19 pandemic, the Beecham family purchased a 122-acre plot in Ball Ground and decided to start fresh. They quickly realized they didn't need as much land and subdivided the acreage into a five-track community with friends. The connectivity of this community inspired them to create a central farm where residents could learn farming techniques together and grow as individuals. “What we found is most people moved off the farm several generations ago, and we all lost all those skills, and it's much easier to learn them in a kind of corporate community environment,” said Rob Beecham. “From that experience, we envisioned a much larger adaptation of what we were doing on our farm, and that's how Sanctuaire Farms was kind of birthed.” Agrarian Learning at The Grange In addition to its homesites, Sanctuaire Farms also showcases a 50-acre store and agrarian learning center known as The Grange, where residents can learn helpful farming and gardening practices from professionals. Currently, the Grange includes a community garden, six Highland cows and two horses. At completion, residents will enjoy a fully functioning farm with a dairy and farmer's market. “What we tell people is, you don't have to do everything on your own farm,” said Rob Beecham. “You can do the things you're passionate about and then supplement the other things you don't necessarily need to do. You can supplement by participating in our community farm. It gives you the ability to be a part-time farmer if you want.” Jennifer Beecham will oversee community events at The Grange, such as dinners, social clubs and learning opportunities. “The unique thing is we'll be open to the public,” said Jennifer Beecham. “This is not just something for the community itself; it's also for the whole community and surrounding areas, and so that other people get to enjoy the Grange itself too.” A Focus on Sustainability Sanctuaire Farms is a fully regenerative community, from its produce and animal maintenance to the construction of homesites. Residents will be expected to utilize pesticide- and chemical-free practices and invest in organic farming techniques. "We've changed our complete lifestyle of how we eat, where we shop, and where we buy our food,” said Rob Beecham. “More and more people are coming on board to understand how important this is, and we see that playing a vital role in our community and people's lives.” Life at Sanctuaire Farms When pre-sales began a few months ago, homesites at Sanctuaire Farms went quickly. The Beechams estimate that 30 homes are already accounted for, proving that homebuyers are seeking this lifestyle. The development stage will begin shortly, with sales anticipated to start at the end of this year. “We've got people that are coming in and building smaller homes that are more focused on the farming side,” said Rob Beecham. “And we have a number of folks that have purchased multiple lots and plan on building much larger, kind of grander estates.

Soil health is attainable. Anthony Beery of Beery Farms and Cumberland Hay and Straw LLC shares that message with Mary Sketch Bryant and Jeff Ishee based on his farming experience and journey. Anthony grew up in the Shenandoah Valley where he and his father Danny raised dairy cows and poultry. Anthony benefitted from his father's mentorship and encouragement to be open to new ideas and experimenting.Anthony and his family moved to Cumberland County in 2018 to begin custom crop production and start Cumberland Hay & Straw LLC. Anthony received the 2024 Carl Luebben Soil Health and Water Quality Award at the Virginia Farm-to-Table Conference for his commitment, example, and mentorship of other farmers.  If you are just starting your soil health journey, Anthony emphasizes taking a step and starting with the basics: learn the soil type and previous land use, test for nutrient content and pH, and understand the areas where nutrients are low and high. For Anthony, soil compaction was a limiting factor on his farm that started his commitment to earnest no-till farming, experimenting with diverse cover crop rotations, and continued devotion to core principles of soil health. As always, we encourage you to start your soil health journey and follow the four principles of soil health: 1) Keep the Soil Covered -- Cover crops are our friends; 2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible; 3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity and life in the soil; and 4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation and/or livestock integration. Yes, soil health is attainable and we can all be 4 The Soil! To enjoy the recent We Are 4 the Soil song created by the Flip Charts, please visit   https://www.4thesoil.org/#we-are-4-the-soil-video.

In this episode, I dive into the return of Sister Wives for Season 19, Episode 21, and share my mixed feelings about the show being both captivating and at times painfully slow. I discuss the unraveling friendship between Meri and Robyn, with Meri's friend Jenn providing some much-needed perspective. I express my disbelief over Janelle's investment in Taeda Farms, questioning the wisdom of putting all her money into raw land without a solid plan.
