Orion Kriegman and his friends started clearing a trashed vacant lot in Boston to create green space and grow food. City hall was not on their side at first, but with persistence and community effort they were able to secure that lot as permanent green space—and so The Boston Food Forest Coalition was born. A dozen more urban lots were acquired and put into Community Land Trust by the coalition, but the stewardship and management of each food forest belongs to the neighborhoods. These are spaces for food, community, shade, gardening, education, wildlife, kids, and more. With more food forests created every year, the Coalition is part of a web of urban ecosystems throughout the city that are little oases of greenery—and hope.

Welcome back to Pizza Quest!When I first met Randy Clemens he was a seventeen-year old guy looking for a purpose in life, something to sink his teeth into, and volunteering to be my assistant for a bread class I was teaching at Sur la Table in Los Angeles. Fast forward 23 years and join me as I catch up with Randy who, after writing three books (including the famous "The Sriracha Cookbook") and working in many aspects of the culinary world, seems to have found what he's been looking for in, of all places, Uruguay, by founding the Las Bandurrias Food Forest and Homestead.  What, you may ask, is that? Well, as you'll hear during our conversation, think back fifty years ago when the so-called "back to the earth movement" was happening and all sorts of folks, often called hippies (and way ahead of their time), were engaged in what we now call sustainability and regenerative agriculture. And now, even newer terms like bioconstruction, syntropic agriculture, food sovereignty, and agroecology are the fleshed-out current incarnations of that earlier movement. Bottom line, as Randy says, is "I just wanted to be able to make things from scratch."  He is on his own version of a pizza quest, his quest for meaning and purpose, and is bringing along a lot of folks with him and teaching anyone who wants to learn how to do it. It's all here in this episode of Pizza Quest.Note: As promised during our conversation, here are some links for any of you who want to connect with Randy and Las Bandurrias. You'll love these videos and postings, which beautifully show what's going on way down there in South America:PatreonYoutubeInstagramTikTokFacebook

Unlike, say, fashion or music, gardening doesn't change quickly or go through rapid trend shifts. But that doesn't mean that there aren't exciting new ways for it to captivate us. In this episode, Don and John review the year's top trends in gardening as identified by the guru herself: Martha Stewart. Sensory gardens and food forests top the list, and there's plenty of local examples for you to see for yourself.

Natural Intelligence Guest Cory Edmund Endrulat, Teacher of Natural Law, Integrative Health Coach and Author Humans invent synthetic technologies with the intention of solving problems and making life easier, yet there are many instances where these so-called advances have ended up creating more problems and complicating life. Pesticides, plastic packaging and processed foods are all prime examples of inventions that have fostered tremendous environmental and health challenges. Do these matters indicate that humans have lost touch with their natural intelligence - that innate ability to coexist in natural balance with all other life forms on earth? Guest Cory Endrulat, author of Natural Intelligence: The Technology of Peace joins us to talk about the natural intelligence of permaculture and voluntaryism as solutions to many of our modern world problems. Permaculture is a form of agriculture that mimics a natural ecosystem, in which each species contributes to the natural process of growing food - channeling rainwater, fixing nitrogen into the soil, helping the soil retain water, creating or decomposing compost and so on. Nature nourishes itself. Voluntaryism is the doctrine that relations among people are cooperative, accomplished with mutual consent. Voluntaryists are advocates of nonpolitical, non-violent strategies to achieve a free and smoothly functioning society. Cory helps us explore the natural and philosophical parallels between permaculture and voluntarism. He is a Teacher of Natural Law, an Integrative Health Coach, a practitioner of permaculture and a video content creator. His content covers health, education, freedom, morality, philosophy and taking action, and this work connects his mission and his message: "Nature Is The Answer," to inform us of a movement created for anyone to use in sharing timeless and universal knowledge.

Welcome to The Backyard Naturalists, the show about anything and everything connected with nature.   In this episode of The Backyard Naturalists podcast, we dive into the world of food forests with Dr. Jason Creon, a biologist and animal nutrition expert. After moving to Florida, Dr. Creon transformed his suburban yard into a thriving “food oasis” to provide diverse, nutritious diets for his animals, including toucans and fruit doves, while reducing grocery costs.   Dr. Creon shares how he optimized every bit of space, from raised beds to marginal areas, and cultivated a wide variety of plants—figs, bananas, papayas, berries, herbs, and native species like beautyberry—to support his animals and attract more wildlife. He offers practical tips for creating your own food forest, from choosing climate-appropriate plants to keeping maintenance low with careful planning and flexible watering.   Whether you're a nature lover, an aspiring gardener, or just looking for unique ways to invite wildlife to your yard, this episode will inspire you to start your own food forest journey!   If you have ideas for topics that you'd like us to pursue, send us a message either on our Facebook page or our website.

"The idea is simply going back to nature, going back to God, going back to service and love and joy and stewardship of our land." "Permaculture is not only the most loving and logical strategy on how we end hunger globally, but this is also the only way we are going to defeat tyranny." "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve." "Faith and courage have no boundaries." "The answer to war is peace." Today's guest, Jim Gale, was introduced to me by Matt Drinkhahn, the eternal optimist. And my dad said that today's guest, Jim Gale, is the eternal optimist. He says that food forests equal freedom. My dad said it would be nice if we could go back to the Garden of Eden and make that happen again. Jim, welcome to the Better Call Daddy show. Broadcasting live from the Garden of Eden, Jim Gale shares his journey of raising four daughters during an apocalypse, his dedication to bringing solutions to the masses, and the importance of permaculture. Jim discusses how sustainable agricultural design can solve the world's biggest problems and the critical role of nature in our lives. He reflects on his connection to nature through meditation, breathwork, and reading, and how this has led him to a simple truth: love life again. Jim's work has even caught the attention of Robert Kennedy Jr., and he shares his conversation with Kennedy about changing society through permaculture. Jim explains how permaculture can reduce crime, improve mental health, and create food security by integrating food forests into schools, prisons, and community spaces. He also touches on his experiences in Costa Rica and the challenges of government intervention. Join us as Jim Gale discusses his mission to catalyze a shift in awareness, the importance of self-reliance, and the role of faith and courage in standing up to tyranny. He shares personal anecdotes, including his red-pill moment, the impact of permaculture on his family, and his vision for a world where food forests replace lawns and bring about peace on earth.
