Zpěvák, textař a excelentní hráč na foukací harmoniku, pro kterého je typický kovbojský klobouk. Mnoho let strávil v kapelách Greenhorns a Fešáci, v roce 1999 založil vlastní skupinu Přímá linka. Mezi jeho nejbližší spolupracovníky patřil Michal Tučný a stále patří Petr Novotný.
Kytaristka rockové čtvřice Gaia Mesiah, Kateřina Pelíšková, vystupující pod uměleckým jménem Santa Morella, je jednou z nejpozoruhodnějších domácích hráček na šestistrunný nástroj. V On Air popisuje, jak se přes folkové písničky od Greenhorns a Nedvědů dostala k rocku, zejména pak ke svým dvěma hlavním vzorům, jimiž jsou Carlos Santana a Tom Morello z Rage Against The Machine. Řeč byla i o jejím angažmá ve Žlutém psovi, ale pochopitelně také vzniku, raketové slávě a zcela nečekaném konci skupiny Gaia Mesiah, která se v nultých letech stala doslova kometou české rockové scény. Zmínila však i spolupráci s Jazem Collemanem z The Killing Joke, který skupině produkoval její nejúspěšnější desku Alpha Female, i úspěšném reunionu kapely, který trvá dodnes.

Host: Holli Cederholm Editor: Clare Boland Common Ground Radio is an hour-long discussion of local food and organic agriculture with people here in the state of Maine and beyond. This month: The December 2023 episode of MOFGA’s Common Ground Radio explores seaweed, a source of food, fertilizer, and carbon sequestration off the coast of Maine. The majority of the episode is a panel discussion on seaweed — called “Is Seaweed the Solution to Climate Change?” — that was recorded at the 2023 Common Ground Country Fair in September. The panel was organized and facilitated by Bridget Huber from FERN, the Food and Environment Reporting Network. The guests were: Nichole Price, a benthic marine ecologist with Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in East Boothbay, Maine; Aurora Burgess, seaweed aquaculture coordinator at Atlantic Sea Farms in Biddeford; and Severine von Tscharner Welcome, of Smithereen Farm in Pembroke, who is also a co-founder of Seaweed Commons.

Dr Tom Oetting is a celebrated cataract surgery teacher and he has really pioneered much of the online learning in that regard. He has helped to create EyeRounds.org which is a tremendous learning resource for ophthalmologists around the globe. His phaco teaching manual, Cataract Surgery for Greenhorns, has been used by countless aspiring ophthalmologists around the world. And he is a large part of the reason why the University of Iowa is consistently ranked as one of the best ophthalmology residencies in the USA. We talked about so many great topics in this podcast including the best way to learn cataract surgery, how to approach patients about having a resident do their procedure (under supervision), the future of ophthalmology, and so much more. We had so much fun and it was so engaging that we lost track of time and ended up going for almost 2 hours. This is a podcast that you want to download and listen to while you're commuting to work or exercising.
For the third episode, we are looking at Jack White's first major side project, the Raconteurs. While Jack wouldn't embrace the label of side project or super group, the Raconteurs were a departure from what people knew of Jack White. With fellow singer/songwriter Brendan Benson, and the bass and drummer from The Greenhorns, Jack Lawrence and Patrick Keeler respectively, The Raconteurs created a rounded, refreshing project over the course of many years culminating in a 10 track album. After a year of touring, Jack would return to the White Stripes for another album -- what would be the last album. 2007's Icky Thump is both a return to the fundamentals of the White Stripes and a departure into the strange, all at once. Jack and Meg had really turned over every stone in their little room to great effect.--Jack White rose to legendary musician status via his breakthrough band, The White Stripes. Coming out as a blues rock, punk aesthetic garage rock band with child-like drummer Meg White, The White Stripes paved the way for a lot of acts to come. As their success grew, Jack White branched out into other projects, including the classic rock inspired "super group" The Raconteurs, and Led Zeppelin-spirit revival, hard as nails "super group," The Dead Weather. As Jack gained momentum elsewhere, The White Stripes came to an end, leaving room for Jack White to explore a solo career. Throughout his solo career, he started honing his comfort material -- country, blues, and fuzz rock -- moving toward new grounds with experimental noise, high tech production, and unexpected plot twists.Tyler, being a conseur of pop and knower of all things music, and Greg, a Jack White super fan, have a lot to say on Jack White, including a plethora of insights and context into the creation of this music, the cultural impact of Jack White and his embedded philosophies, and the growth of self and artist.
#061: Young Farmers Coalition & Greenhorns Co-Founder Severine Von Tscharner Fleming talks us through the battle for fair pricing, good policies, and healthy ecosystems facing seaweed farmers in Maine. Severine Von Tscharner Fleming is a farmer, activist, and organizer based in Downeast Maine. She runs Smithereen Farm, a MOFGA certified organic wild blueberry, seaweed, and orchard operation which hosts summer camps, camping, and educational workshops. She is a founder and board member of Agrarian Trust and current director of the Greenhorns, a 13 year old grassroots organization whose mission is to recruit, promote, and support the incoming generation of farmers in America. To watch a video version of this podcast with access to the full transcript and links relevant to our conversation, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/severine-von-tscharner-fleming-who-controls-seaweed-farming-episode-sixty-oneThe 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/farmsWe 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/
In recognition of Earth Day on April 22, Maximilian Werner, associate professor/lecturer of writing and rhetoric studies, discusses his most recent book, “Wolves, Grizzlies and Greenhorns: Death and Coexistence in the American West.” His book documents his experience following a wolf pack in Centennial Valley, MT for two-and-half years and reflects on what he discovered and the people he encountered along the way.
Für viele ist das Schwerbehindertenrecht ein Buch mit sieben Siegeln. Völlig zu Unrecht: Denn das SGB IX gilt nur denjenigen als „schwierig“, die es nicht kennen. Diese Auffassung vertritt unser W.A.F.-SBV-Experte Rechtsanwalt Niklas Pastille aus Berlin. In diesem launigen Podcast erläutert er im Gespräch mit seinem Berufskollegen Fabian Baumgartner aus München, welche Begriffe Schwerbehindertenvertreter in der Praxis unbedingt meiden sollten, um sich im Gespräch mit Arbeitgebern und deren Anwälten nicht als Greenhorns outen zu müssen. Übrigens: Auch „Schwerbehindertenvertreter“ ist ein solches - „verbotenes“- Wort. Wieder etwas gelernt von unseren Fachreferenten Niklas Pastille und Fabian Baumgartner. Themen in der heutigen Folge: Verbotenes Wort Nr.1: "Schwerbehindertenvertreter Verbotenes Wort Nr.2: "Erster Stellvertreter" Verbotenes Wort Nr.3: "Sitzung" Verbotenes Wort Nr.4: "Heranziehung wegen Verhinderung" Ein Rat zum Schluss: Worauf Schwerbehindertenvertr... nein, Vertrauenspersonen achten sollen!

Wenn der Begriff "Wetten, dass..?" fällt, denken die meisten sofort an Thomas Gottschalk und das große, cremefarbene Sofa, auf dem Gummibärchen kauende Weltstars Promo in eigener Sache machen, betatscht und anschließend weitergereicht werden. Die titelgebenden Wetten? Eher Nebensache. Doch bevor der große Blonde mit den merkwürdigen Klamotten die Sendung 1987 übernahm, hatte deren Erfinder Frank Elstner die große Samstagabendshow bereits 39 Male moderiert. Und weil die Ära Elstner für Klein-Sebastian eine der prägendsten Fernseherinnerungen war, nimmt heute Groß-Sebastian seinen Gefährten Gerrit mit auf eine Zeitreise durch das analoge TV-Rauschen. Es geht zurück in eine Zeit, als Fernsehen noch unperfekt war. Der Moderator war charmant, aber auch zotig und umständlich. Das Sendekonzept überbordend und sperrig. Die Wettkandidaten starke Auguste, sanftmütige Mathelehrer und Backfisch-Lolitas. Die Spielregeln kompliziert zu nennen, wäre untertrieben – denn "Wetten, dass..?" anno 1981 war nichts für Greenhorns. Auf die Bagger… Yee-haw… Top, die Wette gilt!

On The Science Revolution this week is Dr. Michael Mann on the new Climate War. He shares how fossil fuel companies have waged a thirty-year campaign to deflect blame and responsibility and delay action on climate change. And Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding drops by warning us the coronavirus could be a ‘thermonuclear pandemic.’ He'll also talk about the new Covid variants and what he would do differently. Plus Severine Fleming, from Greenhorns, is here about food security, regenerative agriculture and the hidden value of local food.
In this interview we learn from Indra about the millions of farmers who have shown up to protest and those who remain (mostly white haired!) occupying the roads entering Delhi living in their trolley wagons pulled by tractors to protest the International Ag Business-friendly laws of the Modi government. This law removes critical protections and prices supports and puts the already marginalized and precarious farmers at tremendous dis-advantage with large international grain buyers. The proposed laws would normalize ‘contract growing’ and a race to the bottom.Indra is a writer and a wonderful thinker, who helps us all remember the shared colonial history of the US and India. He recalls the Salt march, the East India Company, the longstanding Ghandian traditions of standing up, non violently, for human dignity and self determination. He tells about the kindness and the valor expressed by the protesting farmers, about the lineage of this behavior, as these farmers are many of them veterans of the army, about why such an outpouring of solidarity and respect is shown by the Indian peoples towards these farmers. Indra tells how his own family gave away farm land during the famous Land GIFT Movement of Vinoba Bhave and Vimala Thakar to be overseen by village counsels and distributed to the less fortunate so that none would be desperate. The same village counsel process that we refer to in the interview is used for the self-determined and self-organized water citizen-powered management movement as coordinated by Rajendra Singh and the Flow Partnership International for helping to heal watersheds and increase infiltration of the water table. Indeed this episodes helps us refer to what is truly meaningful, the will force, the truth, the historical reckoning, our own freedom, the structure and accountability of our democratic process. I refer listeners to learn about the very same struggle which is happening here in the USA https://disparitytoparity.org/.Resources:1.Devinder Sharma (https://devinder-sharma.blogspot.com)2.P Sainath (https://ruralindiaonline.org/authors/p-sainath/)3.

Severine von Tscharner Fleming is a young organic farmer who helped start Agrarian Trust, an organization supporting land access for the next generation of farmers. Ian McSweeney, the organizational director of Agrarian Trust, explains strategies for decommodifying land for farmers even as the pandemic drives up land prices. Also discussed: Greenhorns, a cultural network for young farmers; Farm Hack, a global design community for open source farm equipment; and Seaweed Commons, a network studying the stewardship of intertidal zones.
This week on the podcast we explore what land redistribution could look like and how land can be emancipated from the commodity structure with guest Severine von Tscharner Fleming. How do we navigate the settler desire to own land? How can our understanding of the commons invite us into collective commitment to caring for the land and staving of speculative land privatization? In response to these questions, Severine shares the messiness and opportunity of living amongst the prosperity of extraction in the spaces we inhabit while dedicating ourselves to a land-based livelihood that awakens the call to live inside of accountability to people and place. Severine is a farmer, activist, and organizer based in Downeast Maine. She runs Smithereen Farm, a MOFGA certified organic wild blueberry, seaweed, and orchard operation which hosts summer camps, camping, and educational workshops. She is a founder and board member of Agrarian Trust and current director of the Greenhorns, a 13 year old grassroots organization whose mission is to recruit, promote, and support the incoming generation of farmers in America.

Many of the Irish immigrants who came to Cleveland in the 1910s and 1920s were young single men who were escaping conflict. They or their families wanted them to avoid conscription into the British Army during World War I or to avoid what seemed certain to be another failed rebellion in 1916. Others left in the later 1910s as rebellion spread in Ireland, and the British Black and Tans terrorized the countryside. Others had been enemy combatants during the Irish Civil War in 1922 and 1923. This cohort of immigrants swelled the ranks of organizations that promoted Irish freedom, including the secretive Clan na Gael. They also brought Gaelic football to Cleveland in the 1920s, and they helped to found the city's most enduring Irish social club, the West Side Irish American Club. A new wave of immigration was already producing a new wave of Irish community leaders. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

She runs Smithereen Farm, a MOFGA certified organic wild blueberry, seaweed, and orchard operation which hosts summer camps, camping, and educational workshops. She is a founder and board member of Agrarian Trust and current director of the Greenhorns, a 13 year old grassroots organization whose mission is to recruit, promote, and support the incoming generation of farmers in America. Severine brings her influences and analogies from the agricultural space to “What Could Possibly Go Right?”, including:The “desire of humans to move geographically”, including a current fleeing and resettling driven by climate, ambition, hopes, and fears.The concepts of land commons and ocean commons, including for other cultures who care for crops and benefit collectively without private ownership.The need to transition stewardship of land owned by older generations to young farmers, and how to pass this on through purchase, gifting or passing on estates.That the word subsistence and its connotations may distract from the “shiny, glistening abundance”.That those willing to do the reparations and healing of the land for our collective good should earn an enduring right to subsistence.Resources Greenhorns greenhorns.orgAgrarian Trust agrariantrust.orgGlobal Earth Repair Conference globalearthrepairfoundation.orgSomali Bantu Association somalibantumaine.orgConnect with SeverineWebsite: greenhorns.orgTwitter: twitter.com/greenhornsFacebook: facebook.com/thegreenhornsInstagram: instagram.com/thegreenhornsFollow WCPGR on Social MediaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/WhatCouldPossiblyGoRightPodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/postcarbonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/postcarboninstitute/Learn more: https://bit.ly/pci-wcpgrseriesDon't forget to SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss an episode of What Could Possibly Go Right?Support the show (https://www.postcarbon.org/support-what-could-possibly-go-right/)

Jaro je tady a silně rezonuje v mojí romantické duši. Usárna zbalená, žracák k prasknutí naplněný buřty a pivem a za chvíli mi to jede. Nejvyšší čas vyrazit. A protože času je víc, než jsem se mohl nadít, můžu si cestou v klidu poslechnout hudební kolekci, kterou jsem si pro tuto příležitost před měsícem namíchal. Sunset Ridge, The Infamous Stringdusters, nebo Dukes of Hay a jako vzpomínka na někoho, na koho lze zapomenout jen těžko, ještě Greenhorns. Vyrazíte na cesty se mnou?

Did you know that most church land holdings are not located in high-priced cities? Instead, they're in countless rural locations from Maine to California, with land deeded over in wills by former parishioners or purchased over the years by church leaders. Today's guest on The Leading Voices in Food series is Nurya Love Parish, who is animated by the idea that from a religious perspective, land is part of creation and needs to be managed with wisdom. About Nurya Love Parish Nurya Love Parish is an episcopal priest and Co-founder and executive director of Plainsong Farm, a farm and ministry outside Grand Rapids, Michigan. She is the author of Resurrection Matters: Church Renewal for Creation's Sake, and has played a seminal role in framing and advancing the Christian Food Movement. Interview Summary How did Plainsong Farm begin and what purposes does the farm serve? Plainsong Farm is, to give some geographic context, about 20 minutes north of Grand Rapids, Michigan. It includes 12 acres, two houses, two barns (only one of which is usable at present, but the other one we are going to get to be able to use for events eventually). We have about an acre and a half under cultivation. We feed over just over 100 families in the growing season. That just kind of gives you the farm context, but there's so much more to it than that because our purposes are not only to grow food for people, but also to grow people for God. And the farm itself began as a response to a call from God. It is on property that my husband and I were living on at the time. It is a long story that is in my book about how this property transitioned from being the place where I lived, to the place where I serve God in ministry in addition to growing food for people. We seek to renew Christian discipleship through community-focused agriculture. We are looking to grow a generation of leaders that is articulate about the connections between faith and food and climate and health. We want to enable churches to grow their sacraments in a way that is sustainable and regenerative for the earth. And we have a week program that's in cooperation with Honorary Growers' Guild, which is another faith and food ministry. It's important to us to foster health in our community by providing vegetables that we grow on the farm to people that buy them through the CSA community supported agriculture program and also to our neighbors through food pantry partnerships. But I think one of the biggest reasons that I'm here today is the Christian Food Movement work that we've been doing and particularly the conversation around faith lands that we helped to catalyze. First, what does it mean to grow people for God? Oh my gosh. Well, that's something that we spend a lifetime trying to understand. What it means to me to grow people for God is to provide them with a place to understand that they are human and they are of one with the soil humus. To recognize that all of us have a place in creation, and that we belong to that larger life that we didn't create and that we do not sustain. And somehow, to have the humility that goes along with being human that so often after the industrial revolution, we've kind of forgotten. We seem to think that we can manage Earth and climate change is definitely proving to us that we need to be more realistic about humanity's place in the globe. And wise, in how we take our place and ensure that there is still a place for future generations. So how are you able to accomplish that through your work? What does that look like? So we do a few different programs that help people to have that immersive experience. One of our programs is called Sabbath on the Farm and it's an outdoor worship experience. When I say an outdoor worship experience, you need to imagine people sitting on hay bales around it would be a campfire, except usually we're doing this in the summer. So it's daylight really late in Michigan and there isn't usually a fire there. It is a time of worship that includes silence just to be outside, to breathe, to recenter yourself in nature and recognize that you are a created being, just as all that you see around you is a created being. Another program that we have is the way that we do our heirloom wheat program. I should say Honorary Farm and Mill in California started this ministry and that is a heirloom wheat for communion bread. So it's planted in community, harvested in community. The way that we approach it is also through the lens of using this as a meditation on scripture. So there's a place where Jesus says in the Bible, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it does not have a life. And we take literal grains of wheat and they go on the ground. And then you see, after winter--because we do wheat in the winter in Michigan--so you put your grain in the ground, you think how is this ever gonna work? Winter comes and it could be covered by snow and ice, you think is anything alive there? And then in spring it comes back up again, green and, and you realize--it just happens to be right around Easter--and it's a visual witness for the amazing work that God can do. Where it looks like everything is dead and gone, and there is life there that is invisible to the naked eye. And then months pass and the meditation that we have is around the Kingdom of God, where Jesus has this teaching, that the Kingdom of God is like a harvest. That is the grain grows. The person doesn't understand why, but when the time is right, they go in with their sickle. And we go in with our sickles and hand harvested this wheat. And it was a moment again of seeing these ancient scriptures are from an agricultural context. And they teach us something about humans and our right place that we've lost touch with when we're not in that agricultural context anymore. And my hope is that we, we can open people's eyes through the sacraments, and then also open people's eyes to their and in their community that we belong to each other and we belong to creation. And that invites us to ask questions about how food is then shared, how is food grown, how is food shared? Because these are agricultural experiences that we're having in the context of faith. So Nurya, you have so much involvement in these intersections between food and faith and you named and cataloged the Christian Food Movement and were behind the initial Faithlands Conference. Could you tell us a little bit more about these initiatives and why do they matter? Well, when I sat down today I said I was astonished that I was here. In 2014, I sat in my basement and thought, I know that there is work being done by people from a Christian faith perspective around sustainable agriculture, justice and equity and health for all. And I know this work is being done, but I know it's not visible. That moment in 2014 was inspired by Nigel Savage who founded Hazon and a speech that he had given at Jewish theological seminary earlier in the year where he said, if you type in Jewish food movement into Google, you get lots of hits. Like 80,000 hits. You type Christian food movement, you won't find many. And that speaks to...in his context, he was saying we've really come a long way. And as a Christian I read his words and I knew he was right, because I had been looking for a Christian movement. I hadn't been finding one. And so in 2014 I sat down and decided to can make what I know about a little bit more visible. It started as a little pdf guide and then it was a little bit bigger of a pdf guide. And then I asked people to send me some money if they thought it should be a website. And they did send me money, and it became a website. And now there's about 300 books, resources, and organizations. And again, I know it is the tip of the iceberg. At the same time that I was starting this website and trying to catalog all of these things and then share news about them as people sent me news, was also when we were starting the farm. So the Christian Food Movement site really kind of got put on this back burner. I was starting a nonprofit. I knew this Christian Food Movement was going to be a part of what we did, but it wasn't the front burner of what I had to do to get the farm off the ground--because we were a bootstrapped nonprofit. And so, now that Christian Food Movement work is coming back into the foreground and I'm starting to realize how many people have engaged in it without me even recognizing that it was growing. Just kind of like that wheat under the ground in the winter that you don't see. And there's a lot of life at this intersection that was totally invisible 10 years ago. So what are some pillars or tenants of a Christian Food Movement? What is it moving towards? Well, the cornerstones that I put at the top of the website when I made it-because that's what I was seeing across all of the projects are as follows: Discipleship - because it's very much grounded in this understanding that we don't fully understand our life on earth, but Jesus can show us something about life on earth that I know I we and I need to learn. So discipleship is a core tenet of it. Sustainability, which by now it probably would be called regeneration, but four years ago it was sustainability. This recognition that we need to live ecologically on this planet with a recognition that for generations to come, we need health for creation. So discipleship and sustainability. Health is a very important principle across many of these ministries. People are seeking bodily health and spiritual health as one in the same and recognizing in Christian scripture we're taught that our body is a temple for the Holy Spirit. And so how do we treat our bodies? And I am still on this journey. How do we treat our bodies? And how do we ensure health for all? Because all people have that within. So, health would be another one. And then justice. The recognition that there we inherit systems of inequity that we did not create, and that we do not want to support. And God did not create these systems of inequity either. And God does not desire an inequity among all of God's people. So how do we make justice is another question that guides the Christian Food Movement that I'm aware of. So how do people get involved in this Christian Food Movement and what actions do they take on the ground as a result? It's a really good question because there is such a continuum of what would you call a Christian Food Movement. The pantry in the church that I serve could be considered a part of the Christian Food Movement. The people that volunteer for it wouldn't probably consider themselves that way. They would just say they're doing what Jesus tells you to do: feed the hungry. And yet they're doing it as disciples. They're intentional about having healthy food on the shelves. They're doing it because they want poor people to have equal access. So it's a justice ministry. And I think the one piece--they'll probably listen to this--one piece that I'm looking to talk about with them more is how does this make sense ecologically? But there are so many food pantries in Christian churches across the country and you could say all of them. Similarly, all the gardens, you know, you could say all of them. But what I find most intriguing is the stuff that is showing up that is worship-based and food centered. So there are farm churches, there's one here in Raleigh, Durham. There are garden churches. There are dinner churches and some people are having their core experience of Christian faith and discipleship around agriculture in some fashion. Now, what is that going to become? I do not know. And yet I think it's the leading edge of something that we should all be very curious about. Is the Faithlands Conference part of that work, and essentially what is that and what came out of it? I would love to know that too! The Faithlands Conference began with this recognition that there are some factors at play in the wider culture that were not yet in dialogue with one another. One of those factors is the reality that I'm a white mainline Protestant, semi-Protestant as an Episcopalian. And when I look across the landscape of my denomination, I recognize that the ways that we do church now are not economically sustainable into the future. I noticed the same things with my compatriots along other mainline traditions. What is unsustainable about it, if you could dive into it? Sure. Well, the average age in the Episcopal church is 60. And that's not to say there are not wonderful dynamic young leaders in the Episcopal church, and there are new ministries that are springing up in the Episcopal church. But we have the historic moment where the things that we used to do don't work the way they used to anymore. And young adults are not excited about the things that we did that worked in 1955. And so what that looks like where I live, which is sem- rural Michigan, is it looks like futures of possibly closing churches. So for example, a church that is 45 minutes away from me closed not long ago. 10 acres across the street from an elementary school, with probably not a whole acre that would be cultivated. I'm not sure that any of it would be cultivatable in terms of agriculture, but it would be a great ecological demonstration site. That isn't in the imagination of the church leadership. And so the Faithlands conference existed to bring together religious leaders and land trust and land access professionals, primarily those who are seeking access to land for new and beginning farmers. Because as we know in the food world, access to land and access to capital are the two greatest barriers for anyone who is seeking to start a new farm. And in the church world, I know we have land, we have capital. What we don't have are young people and imagination. Did just say that out loud? We have more imagination than we give ourselves credit for, I should say, and than I just gave us credit for, but we don't tend to. We are too risk averse in the church because we are way too focused on preserving what we've inherited. And forgetting that what we have inherited, that is the most important, is the spirit of God and the spirit of God is always leading us beyond what our comfort zone is. I was curious what came out of the Faithlands Conference, but I think that could tie maybe a little bit to the issue of how to spark creativity when you're in a restricted environment of attempting to be sustainable as an organization? That's a great question. So let me answer it by going back to Plainsong Farm and the Faithlands conference. When we brought together people, and it was not just Christians, it was a multifaith it gathering...it was funded through Greenhorns, which is an organization for new and beginning farmers. And it brought together a combination of land access professionals and religious leaders across traditions. And one of the things that I realized in that context was that Plainsong Farm is really a demonstration project for what is possible in the future of religiously held land. When we began it, there was land and I had a little capital. We had this 10 acres and I had $15,000 and my partners in this ministry, Mike and Beth and the Edwardsons, they felt called to start a farm that was somehow connected to the church. They were both under 30 when we started. They didn't have land. They didn't have access to capital. And when we began, which happened with me giving them $15,000 and the key to my house. I thought to myself, well, if the only thing that comes out of this is that a young and beginning farmer begins a farm in the state of Michigan--where we also see the average age of farmers being in the sixties--that would be a good thing. And I hope even just that happens. And just that did happen. Plus more. And what I've found in the intersection of these sustainable agriculture, religious leadership lanes is we need more demonstration projects. And so my aim is to simply to sustain the one that we have to have it influence other people to also recognize that they can do likewise. That it's really scary. That there are a lot of headwinds and that you can still persevere and find yourself being interviewed by the Duke World Food Policy Center! Which when I put myself in that basement and said, I wonder if I can come up with some things about the Christian food movement, was certainly not anything I anticipated. In the context of your successes, how do you think the Christian Food Movement can address the question of how do you move away from a very charitable model of food distribution, which doesn't necessarily address systematic issues? What is the Christian food movements answer for that? Oh, well, first I would say I didn't begin the Christian Food Movement. I just, I just named it and tried to give it wholesome conversations. So I don't speak on behalf of a movement, I speak for myself. And I would say that it's by experimenting and learning from people that aren't necessarily disciples of Jesus. There are a lot of people doing work in this world, trying to seek justice and equity. And part of my call as a Christian is to seek wisdom and to seek knowledge and to seek understanding. And I know that there's a lot I have to learn from people that are not necessarily working in my lane. Having said that, I also would say there's a lot of wisdom in religious traditions and my hope is that as we have more conversation at these intersections. The wisdom of our faith traditions can be brought to bear. And the humility that is supposed to be the fruit of a religious life can be brought to bear on these larger questions that we continue to face as a country and as a global citizenship. What do you feel for the churches that are able to the spark of creativity to be able to pilot a solution? What would you say are the features or characteristics of those churches? What differentiates those that are really willing to step out and be in an early innovator? Well, here's a theological answer for you. They are churches that actually have faith in the resurrection. What would you say are the unique gifts and contributions of your faith or faith based communities on this broad foods to food systems work as we drive towards a more equitable system. What does that element of faith really add? Oh, I have a good answer for this. Sorry. Feel free to. We'll have to edit that out. It's not a problem because I wrote that one down and I was like, I like that. Totally didn't refer to any of these. Okay. I think as faith communities, we have this capacity. We have a theoretical capacity for a holistic approach and it's theoretical because we don't always live into our call. But faith communities are where we ask really big questions. That's what faith community is there for. What is good, what is evil, what is life, what is death? And so theoretically faith communities are where we should be able to say, is this way that we're eating truly benefiting the humanity of the future? Is this good? Is this evil? My colleague Justin Fast reminds me, scripture teaches us not just to feed the hungry but it to satisfy the hungry with good things. That is a quote. And so we have to ask, well, what are good things and what does it mean to be satisfied? And how am I hungry? I am still hungry spiritually and I will be and I will be hungry physically too. That's part of my human experience. So I would say too often religious people are uncritical handmaidens to contemporary society. And our unique gift is to be a community that asks really big questions. And, is radically willing to dare and to risk because that's what faith calls you to do. Faith is stepping out on nothing and landing on something which is a Cornell West quote. And we need that in the dialogue and in the conversation.

Bioneers: Revolution From the Heart of Nature | Bioneers Radio Series
In the next 20 years, farmland ownership in the U.S. will shift on a continental scale—400 million acres. Yet 70% of American farmland is owned by people 65 and older. How can we help young, motivated agrarians become successful farmers to whom retiring organic farmers can transmit their wisdom? How can we invest in the democratization of our land base? These questions drive Agrarian Trust, started by Greenhorns founder Severine v T Fleming, one of the most visionary leaders in the young farmers’ movement.

For New England farmers 2016 was a year hit hardest by drought. The most recent statistics from the US Drought Monitor shows Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connecticut still with large percentages of areas in severe drought. As a more unpredictable climate is upon New England questions are raised about sustainability, the economy of farming, innovation and why local and regional food systems just might be the best solution for changing weather patterns. In this episode of Under Reported I speak with Farmer Chris, the man behind a small farm in Massachusetts called Vanguarden, Severine von Tscharner Fleming founder of The Greenhorns and Brian Donahue, Chair of Environmental Studies at Brandeis University.

There is a generational gap between old farmers and new. The average age of the American farmer is pushing 60. They are starting to look at retirement, looking to pass the farm on, and looking to get out of the business. The problem is, their kids did not get into farming. This presents a problem as we lose more farmland to development, and we do not have enough new farmers to fill their shoes (and our bellies). Somewhere along the line we skipped a generation, and now are faced with a unique opportunity. There is good news! A new generation of farmers is coming on the scene. The kids of the old generation did not get into farming, but the grand-kids are, and for new reasons. With fresh blood out on pasture there are new ideas, new ideals, and new techniques coming with them. I am happy to be part of a passionate movement toward something wholesome, connected, intelligent, motivated, and inspired. This episode gives you an update on my farming endeavors, I discuss my opinion of the future of farming in America, and I bring on a guest who has some of the best insights on the subject. In this farm podcast you will learn: The power of proving how serious you are. How to use stunts to tell your story and get your message across. The future of American agriculture Farmer retirement plans. How to be braver, stronger, calmer, and more deliberate!

Bioneers: Revolution From the Heart of Nature | Bioneers Radio Series
In the next 20 years, farmland ownership in the U.S. will shift on a continental scale—400 million acres. Yet 70% of American farmland is owned by people 65 and older. How can we help young, motivated agrarians become successful farmers to whom retiring organic farmers can transmit their wisdom? How can we invest in the democratization of our land base? These questions drive Agrarian Trust, started by Greenhorns founder Severine v T Fleming, one of the most visionary leaders in the young farmers’ movement.
Severine von Tscharner Fleming is a serial entrepreneur, farmer and activist. She is possibly best known for the film Greenhorns and the National Young Farmers Coalition. This woman is a force of nature for the Millennial generation.
This week on High-Dere, Joe isn’t feeling well so we unwrap an archived episode from the basement days of High-Dere and show you how new and green Ian & Joe were to podcasting. We open with an a-cappella demo of the theme song and jump right in with the executive decision to just use first names, our heroes review a strain of weed right off the bat. Then they dive into the world of Church and how it was to grow up in that world. Vomit Duck was born, which leads to a story of projectile puking in Ian’s car. We then hear how fresh everything was. Ian’s belongings had just been stolen, we had no websites yet, and we had a show that has now been packed away, We2D2. Hear why Ian & Joe decided to start podcasting, and why they think it’s worth diving into. And then we hear the backgrounds of our two hosts, including Joe’s discography, his musical history and the collaborators from his first album, 2009’s If I Could. Ironically we also ask how many episodes it’d be before we had Kevin Smith on a show. And if you think about it, it really only took 1. But as a LIVE guest on the show, we’re at 36 and counting... And, as usual, we hear them stumble for the first time toward the end, while they try and figure out their sign off. All on this week’s moth-ball smelling episode of High-Dere.
Visit us at www.paranormalunderground.net to read Paranormal Underground magazine! In this episode of Paranormal Underground Radio: In The Dark, we talk with Jay Verburg of the Syfy TV show Ghost Mine. Jay is one of two Greenhorns on the show. He is a web developer in his former life. Jay began his unexpected paranormal journey as one of the two Greenhorn miners on SyFy's Ghost Mine. With a passion for the Old West, he has been casually exploring ghost towns and abandoned locations, striving to discover historically rich areas for the past 15 years. Fascination with history and the gold that still runs through the mountains of Eastern Oregon unexpectedly landed him in the small town of Sumpter. It was there he found himself not only working as a hard rock miner, but witnessing events that led him to an entirely new journey — paranormal research. Research of history and the paranormal have led Jay to some of the greatest location throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, Utah, and Colorado. Working closely with like-minded scientific investigative groups, Jay’s research focuses on energy and the pursuit of awareness surrounding the existence of intelligence beyond death.Air Date: April 9, 2015 Topic: Paranormal Investigation, Ghost Mine Guest: Jay Verburg Hosts: Karen Frazier and Chuck Gotski Producer: Cheryl Knight

This week on The Farm Report, Erin Fairbanks is talking with two important guests from the world of food and agriculture. First up is Mark Schlosberg, the National Organizing Director for Food & Water Watch. Tune in to hear Erin and Mark discuss two ballot initiatives from the past election cycle that affect the environment and farming: Question 300 in Colorado, and Proposition 37 in California.

Later, hear Mark talk about the labeling of GMO foods in California, and why Prop 37 did not pass. The people have the right to know where their food comes from! Learn about Food & Water Watch’s upcoming campaigns dealing with transparency in the food system. Later, Erin calls up Severine Von Tscharner Fleming, founder of The Greenhorns and host of HRN’s Greenhorn Radio. The Greenhorns are a non-profit organization that works with young farmers and creates media that promotes sustainable agriculture and educates beginning farmers. Hear Erin and Severine talk about Superstorm Sandy, and how it impacted farmers in the Hudson Valley. Learn about new farm technology, and how young farmers are banding together in numbers to develop tools to deal with unpredictable weather. Finally, Erin checks in with Jeanne Hodesh for this week’s GrowNYC Market Update! This episode has been sponsored by Hearst Ranch. “Communities should have the ability to protect themselves from the real threats that fracking poses to water, air, public health, and really- the community. When people band together and talk to their neighbors and do real organizing, they’re capable of pushing back against big money interests that are trying to exploit our essential resources without regard to the consequences.” [4:15] — Mark Schlosberg on The Farm Report “One-hundred-year storms are happening every year, and when your livelihood depends on being at the market of every week…and, largely depends on pieces of aluminum supported by pieces of plastic with sixty thousand dollars with of tomatoes underneath! It’s hard to have piece of mind and think that it’s a simple matter.” [21:00] — Severine Von Tscharner Fleming on The Farm Report
The day we hoped for and dreamed of had to eventually come: the day the Queen of the Eternal Newbie Greenhorns, Ms. S, left the employ of the "liberry." And when the day came, she went with barely a whimper, but a whole lot of whining. What we didn't realize was the freeing her from the employ of the "liberry" freed her up for a new calling: fiction writer. Also features the long sought-for 5th Grumpiest Old Man in All the World: William Shatner.
Newbie Greenhorn Ms. S was not only an eternal newbie greenhorn, she was their queen. Never before had I met a person so willfully unwilling to burn a single calorie in the execution of her job that could have gone unburnt with her ass planted in a chair. The fact that she remained an employee as long as she did is a mystery for the ages. After hoarding away a number of the best Ms. S stories, I finally unleashed them in a weeklong torrent called L is for Lazy Week (much as Ms. S could unleash a torrent of dumbass questions just as you were trying to walk out the door for home). This is that week adapted to podcast form.
While most newbie greenhorn employees settle into the job at some point (even some who take a year or two to find their feet) there are some who NEVER find their feet no matter how many times you train and retrain them. These are the eternal newbie greenhorns and Ms. S was their queen and, eventually, sole member at our branch. Which is odd, because Eternal Newbie "Liberry" Greenhorn Ms. S was allegedly a trained library worker with some sort of library degree to her name before she started.
Our troubles with the Newbie Greenhorns on staff only began with Ms. K, Ms. M and Miss F. For they were but the heralds for the coming of the great and terrible Queen of the Greenhorns: Ms. S. On paper, Ms. S seemed like a dream come true, for while she was but a newbie to our "liberry" she held in her employment history actual experience working in a larger library in a neighboring county, which meant she knew our computer system already. Sweet! Better still, she allegedly held an undergraduate degree in library science. We thought: How could a new employee get any better? Welllll, a lot, it turns out. And by quite a staggering margin. She took greenhorning to the next level. Taken individually, none of Ms. S's myriad of "liberry" crimes was worthy of termination from her job. However, it's the cumulative effect that really drove the rest of us over the edge. This is her story.
Andy doesn’t think he’s a farmer in the sense that most people would recognize, but he cares about compost as much as most people care about their pets. He has been working the earth in the low country from Savannah,GA to Cumberland Island for about 5 years. He did not receive a formal education in agriculture, but grew up in the middle of rural Indiana surrounded by massive fields of corn and soybeans and studied tourism development in college. These days he spends most of his time working in urban garden plots, his back yard, local schools, and restaurants. Andy hopes to start his own business in Savannah in the near future that will allow him to provide healthy food to the local market as well as provide a substantial income. He digs what the Greenhorns are doing across the country and is proud to be a young farmer. This episode is sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards & Sons. “There’s definitely a huge demand for small farmers, and young farmers, in Savannah . . . Georgia’s ripe and ready, the people are here and ready to do the work” –Andy Schwartz on Greenhorn Radio
Everybody has to start their career somewhere and usually when you start at entry level you're not very good. It takes a while to find your feet. And that was the purpose of the Newbie Greenhorn program at our "liberry". Newbie Greenhorns were allowed time to work out the kinks and master the details of their job without a great deal of initial positive expectation on the part of their coworkers. Ideally, these employees would graduate to mere Greenhorn status and then full fledged "Liberry" Ass. status, with all the perks that come with that position. Some graduated right away. And some did not graduate EVER despite years on the job. Today's episode is the first part in an ongoing series chronicling our problems with the Newbie Greenhorns.
Aer goes on location to Paul's home studio, were The Velvut Rut, California, and the upcoming Greenhorns (a soundtrack for a new Discovery Channel Documentary) were all recorded. This is a very special episode!
Heather talks with Severine von Tscharner Fleming from The Greenhorns about her organization and upcoming documentary. Visit www.thegreenhorns.net for more information and listen to Severine’s own radio show every Thursday at 2 on HRN.
