In this episode we speak with Kish Johnson from Advancing Eco Agriculture about how data-driven tools like SAP analysis and foliar sprays are transforming regenerative farming. Kish shares how farms are eliminating pests and diseases through optimized plant nutrition and improved photosynthesis. The conversation dives into the connection between soil biology, profitability, and nutrient density. Kish also addresses skepticism around ag “products” and offers a humble, science-based approach to farm improvement. The episode wraps with news of a research partnership between AEA and the Market Gardener Institute to adapt these tools for small-scale growers.SponsorsTessier: Use promo code MGI10 for 10% off and free shipping on your first purchase for the Eastern North American regions Farmhand: CSA farmers can set up a complimentary 1:1 strategy session with founder Ari at Timestamps[8:37] The hopeful message of regenerative agriculture[12:17] Understanding the economic “J curve” in farming transitions[19:08] What Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA) actually does for farmers[24:23] Fighting orchard disease with SAP analysis[27:17] Why SAP analysis is like a blood test for plants[31:04] The power of foliar sprays for nutrient uptake[43:27] Increasing photosynthesis for crop resilience and yield[48:23] Nutrient corrections that boost photosynthesis[52:01] The role of seed inoculants and microbial colonization[1:04:16] Insect pressure and the myth of “holes mean healthy”[1:06:00] How protein synthesis deters aphids[1:13:47] Giving farmers real decision-making power through data[1:21:04] Collaboration between AEA and the Market Gardener Institute[1:28:58] Making nutrient density measurable and marketable[1:33:59] “There's no such thing as cheap food” – nutrient density and health[1:36:20] The most common global farming issue Kish observesLinks/ResourcesMarket Gardener Institute: https://themarketgardener.com/ Masterclass: https://themarketgardener.com/courses/the-market-gardener-masterclass/ Newsletter: https://themarketgardener.com/newsletterBlog: https://themarketgardener.com/blog Books: https://themarketgardener.com/booksGrowers & Co: https://growers.co/Heirloom: https://heirloom.ag/The Old Mill: https://www.espaceoldmill.com/en/Follow UsWebsite: http://themarketgardener.com Facebook: http://facebook.com/marketgardenerinstitute Instagram: http://instagram.com/themarketgardeners Guest Social Media LinksAdvancing Eco Agriculture:Website: https://advancingecoag.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/advancingecoag/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/advancingecoag/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRApdrU3BA0Pzo6MNWTD2jg Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/advancingecoag Podcast: https://regenerativeagriculturepodcast.com/ JM:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeanmartinfortierFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeanmartinfortier
An heirloom is a cherished possession passed down through generations, often holding sentimental value rather than monetary worth. Its significance lies in the memories it evokes and the meaning attributed to it by the recipient. In today's Mother's Day message, Sis. Sarah uses a red sweater and a quilt, both steeped in history, to illustrate the enduring power of prayers from generations past.

Sometimes you just meet an author that instantly you understand why they wrote the book that they wrote. This was the case for me when I met Jessie Rosen for our podcast- bright, sparkly, effervescent so naturally her book would be about the stars and the universe aligning. Her energy was perfection. I loved chatting with her about her latest novel, All the Signs (FYI I also adored her debut, The Heirloom). This book has travel, romance, a little mystery and A LOT of astrology. We chatted signs, stars, writing, Ace of Base and so much more. BONUS- if you are in the Boston area you can come chat with Jessie and I at Lovestruck Books on May 28th!!! Details in bio!

Mexico has been purchasing about $3 billion of corn annually from farmers in the USA, the vast majority of that corn having been grown from genetically modified seeds. The Mexican government announced in 2020 that it would, in 2025, ban that GMO corn from the country, which was found to be in violation of the USMCA agreement of 2018. So now, the Mexican government has amended their constitution to identify native corn as an "element of national identity," which will ban GMO corn from being planted in the country – and "[a]ny other use of genetically modified corn must be evaluated ... to be free of threats to the biosecurity, health and biocultural heritage of Mexico and its population." What exactly does this all mean, for farmers in Mexico, for the environment in the Americas, and for the price of tacos?

Cursed Objects: Why Haunted Dolls and Jewelry Attract Dark Energy More Than Anything Else” Have you ever inherited an old ring and suddenly felt like your luck vanished overnight? Or maybe you brought home an antique doll that now seems to move when no one's looking…? You're not alone. In this week's episode of Psychic Christine Wallace Mystical Charms and Things, we're diving into the chilling topic of cursed objects and haunted items, with a special focus on possessed jewelry and dolls—the two objects that most often seem to attract negative spiritual energy. Why Do Certain Objects Hold Dark Energy? Throughout history, dolls and jewelry have been the center of supernatural disturbances, spiritual attachments, and paranormal hauntings. These objects—often deeply personal or used in rituals—act like energy sponges, absorbing trauma, grief, jealousy, or even dark intentions from their original owners or past events. While not every old item is cursed, spiritually charged objects like: • Heirloom rings • Antique brooches • Handmade dolls • Family relics …can carry lingering vibrations, sometimes resulting in sleepless nights, bad luck, emotional turmoil, or worse. If you've experienced: • A sudden shift in energy after acquiring an object • Strange occurrences in your home • Persistent bad luck or health issues with no clear cause • Unexplained emotions or nightmares… You may be dealing with a spiritually active or cursed item. ⸻ Need Help with Negative Energy or Paranormal Activity?

In the evolving landscape of global spirits, one visionary stands at the forefront of a quiet revolution. Tomas Nava, owner and distiller at Gran Tunal Destilería, is redefining what Mexican whiskey can be through his passionate commitment to heritage and innovation. Nava's journey began behind the bar, where he pioneered his town's first mezcal establishment. This immersion in Mexico's traditional spirits sparked a curiosity that would later flourish into full-scale production. After exploring gin-making with a distinctive Prickly Pear base, Nava found his true calling in whiskey—but with a uniquely Mexican identity. "The soul of whiskey is in its grain," Nava often says, and this philosophy drives Gran Tunal's most ambitious project. While most distillers worldwide rely on commercial corn varieties, Nava has turned to Mexico's rich agricultural heritage, sourcing indigenous heirloom corn varieties that pre-date European contact. These ancient grains—each with distinct flavor profiles, colors, and cultural significance—provide the foundation for whiskeys unlike any other in the world. The result is not merely a Mexican interpretation of Scottish or American traditions, but something genuinely new: expressions that capture Mexico's terroir and agricultural legacy in every sip. The production process honors both whiskey-making traditions and Mexican cultural practices. By combining careful distillation with these exceptional base ingredients, Gran Tunal creates spirits that speak eloquently of place and history. Industry experts have taken notice. As Mexican whiskey emerges as a category in its own right, Nava's creations stand as benchmarks of quality and innovation, earning recognition in international competitions and among discerning connoisseurs. For Tomas Nava, each bottle represents more than just a fine spirit—it's a preservation of agricultural biodiversity, a celebration of Mexican heritage, and a bold step forward in the global spirits conversation.

In this week's episode of the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas, we're in Rogers at Heirloom at the 1907 talking with Co-owner and Chef Jason Paul, but before we get to him?!?! (*FOOD NEWS!!*) We are anniversary-heavy this week! Happy 75 years to Maxine's in Fayetteville! Happy 54 years to Patrick's Hamburgers in Springdale! Happy 29 years to Susan's Restaurant in Springdale! Happy 8th to the Odd Soul, while enjoying a beard trim with Jeffro! Update on Apt. 7 in Fayetteville. Spice & Tea Exchange Opens in Bentonville Mezzaluna Pastaria gets BIG designation Homegrown in opening in Bentonville soon! A few CSA Shares still available at Cobblestone Farms. Thai Spice opens in Springdale. Get your Waffle Hut breakfast in a new spot in Rogers! Stoic Brews opens to serve gluten-free beer in NWA! Heirloom at the 1907 is a reservation-only tasting menu restaurant in the Onyx building in downtown Rogers. We talked to co-owner and Executive Chef Jason Paul, who along with his partner Danielle, have built something unique to our area. If you've not been, you're just not quick enough. Let's just say this- if Taylor Swift were playing the AMP, you might have an easier time getting a ticket. BUT! Chef Jason has a tip for you on that front. They don't seat many, and if you get a reservation, the seat is yours for the night. Though it's a tasting menu, it has many courses- sometimes up to 10! Chef Jason is from Arizona, and got his first kitchen experience in a restaurant when he was 14, and it was all because of a book signing. It's a great story... The kitchen where he worked at that age? It just so happened to be in the nicest restaurant in the Phoenix area... He'll explain. And what's it like to work in a Vegas kitchen under the age of 21? Jason's got the deets. Finally, how did he end up in Northwest Arkansas? The way MANY people do. We talk to Chef Jason Paul from Heirloom at the 1907, next here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas!
We've all dragged home a questionable knick-knack from our favorite antique store or estate sale—maybe a dusty picture frame or a mirror that makes your reflection look…off. But what if it's not just off – what if it's possessed? In this episode, one woman's love of vintage treasures collides with a malevolent spirit that turns her life into a living game of “spine-tingling hide-and-seek.” Chronic pain and silent terror join forces to create the perfect dinner bell for something unearthly—until her dearly departed great-grandma steps in with a much-needed angelic smackdown. Ever wondered what's really attached to that antique trunk you just had to have?

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: Apples are a common feature in Maine's landscape: from lone trees growing on field edges to cultivated orchards. The fruit was introduced to the region in the late 16th century and became a major part of Maine's farm economy by the early 20th century. Over time, these early apple varieties — each with their own unique culinary use and flavor profile — have been largely replaced by a handful of commercial varieties bred for packability and shipping across the globe. As a result, Maine's heritage apples were largely relegated to obscurity — with many facing extinction. In this month's episode of Common Ground Radio, we talk with historian and fruit explorer Todd Little-Siebold about the Maine Heritage Orchard's efforts to preserve rare apples for future generations. The Maine Heritage Orchard is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025.

She has worked on organic farms in Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Scotland and Italy and, in 2010, founded a small farm focused on celebrating open-pollinated and heirloom vegetables. As the former manager of a national nonprofit dedicated to organic seed growers, she authored a peer-reviewed handbook on GMO avoidance strategies for seed growers. Holli has also been a steward at Forest Farm, the iconic homestead of “The Good Life” authors Helen and Scott Nearing; a host of “The Farm Report” on Heritage Radio Network; and a lo0ng-time contributor for The Maine Organic Farmer & Gardener, which she now edits in her role as content creator and editor at MOFGA.

In this deeply personal episode, Will Castle shares his experience of losing his father to suicide and the years of silence that followed. He reflects on the complexities of his childhood, his father's struggles, and the moment everything changed. Will speaks openly about the grief, isolation, and self-destructive behaviour he experienced in the aftermath. He explains how he felt compelled to show no emotion even at the funeral, as well as the unspoken pressures that made it harder to ask for help. He also discusses what eventually helped him begin to heal: finding support, sharing his story, and turning his pain into action. Now a suicide prevention campaigner, a mental health advocate, and a father himself, he reflects on his life now and talks about being an executive producer for 'Heirlooms', a short film about the challenges faced by those who have been bereaved by suicide. This conversation is not about easy answers but about what it really means to live with loss, to break the silence around suicide, and to support others who are grieving. If you can relate to any of the issues Will discussed in this episode or you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, there are organisations you can call now, for example, the Samaritans in the UK on 116 123, and if you are in the US, you the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If you want to learn more about Will, visit his website: https://willcastle.com/ where you can also watch ‘Heirlooms'.

In this episode of Pearls of Wisdom—brought to you by Southern Jewelry News and Jewelry Store Marketers—Guy Pineda is joined by co-host Elesa Dillon of Southern Jewelry News to welcome master jeweler and “accidental gemologist” Lance Pierce of Pierce Custom Jewelers. Lance's story starts with his love of building custom hot rods which was put on hold due to sensitivity to paint chemicals. A last-minute decision to drive a friend to GIA's orientation changed everything: not only did Lance escape the heat of the summer he also found his life's work. In this fun conversation, Lance shares how he went from being a top repair jeweler to a custom designer. He believes fixing broken pieces teaches you about durability, technique and craftsmanship – skills that later translate into creating heirloom jewelry. He talks about the emotional side of his work and shares stories including one about engraving an oxygen tank for a family who had lost a loved one and wanted to honor their passion for scuba diving. His focus on building trust and relationships with clients and suppliers comes through in every story. But jewelry isn't Lance's only creative outlet. Listen in as he talks about his love of music and performs a little guitar for us. From forging metal to strumming strings Lance is an artist. Throughout the episode, Elesa and Lance also give a shout-out to Southern Jewelry News—over 34 years of industry insight—for keeping retailers and suppliers connected to the latest trends, best practices and success stories. Join us for this fun conversation about how passion, serendipity and skill come together to create pieces that are as memorable as the moments they commemorate.

Fluent Fiction - Italian: Secrets of the Farnese: Rediscovering a Lost Heirloom in Rome Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/it/episode/2025-02-24-23-34-02-it Story Transcript:It: Luca camminava lentamente attraverso Piazza Navona, il cuore storico di Roma.En: Luca walked slowly through Piazza Navona, the historic heart of Rome.It: L'aria era fredda, tipica di un inverno romano, e piccoli gruppi di turisti si aggiravano tra le fontane barocche e gli artisti di strada.En: The air was cold, typical of a Roman winter, and small groups of tourists wandered among the baroque fountains and street artists.It: Per Luca, la piazza era una meraviglia architettonica, ma c'era anche un altro motivo che lo aveva portato lì: un antico cimelio di famiglia, dato per perso da generazioni, di cui si raccontava fosse riemerso nei pressi della piazza.En: For Luca, the square was an architectural marvel, but there was also another reason that had brought him there: an ancient family heirloom, thought to be lost for generations, was said to have resurfaced near the square.It: Luca era un famoso storico dell'arte, appassionato del Rinascimento, ma in quei giorni cercava qualcosa di più personale.En: Luca was a famous art historian, passionate about the Renaissance, but in those days he was searching for something more personal.It: Sua nonna, prima di morire, gli aveva lasciato vaghi indizi su un oggetto prezioso appartenente alla famiglia, un anello che diceva fosse legato alla famiglia dei Farnese, famosi patroni delle arti.En: His grandmother, before she died, had left him vague clues about a precious family object, a ring she said was connected to the Farnese family, famous patrons of the arts.It: Luca sapeva che non sarebbe stato facile trovarlo, ma non aveva mai rinunciato a una sfida.En: Luca knew it wouldn't be easy to find it, but he had never backed down from a challenge.It: Aveva sentito parlare di Sofia, una guida turistica con una profonda conoscenza della storia della piazza.En: He had heard of Sofia, a tour guide with a deep knowledge of the square's history.It: Decise di contattarla.En: He decided to contact her.It: "Ciao, Sofia," le disse al loro incontro vicino alla Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi.En: "Hello, Sofia," he said when they met near the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi.It: "Ho bisogno del tuo aiuto.En: "I need your help.It: Cerco un antico anello di famiglia."En: I'm looking for an ancient family ring."It: Gli occhi di Sofia scintillarono interessati.En: Sofia's eyes sparkled with interest.It: "Ci sono molti segreti nascosti in Piazza Navona," rispose.En: "There are many secrets hidden in Piazza Navona," she replied.It: "Ma sarò felice di aiutarti.En: "But I will be happy to help you.It: Da dove iniziamo?"En: Where do we start?"It: Luca le mostrò un foglio piegato, con una mappa e alcune frasi criptiche.En: Luca showed her a folded sheet, with a map and some cryptic phrases.It: Una di queste diceva: "Dove l'acqua scorre, il segreto giace."En: One of them said, "Where the water flows, the secret lies."It: Sofia pensò un attimo e poi indicò la base della fontana.En: Sofia thought for a moment and then pointed to the base of the fountain.It: "Molte leggende parlano di un compartimento segreto nella fontana."En: "Many legends speak of a secret compartment in the fountain."It: Insieme si avvicinarono alla statua centrale.En: Together they approached the central statue.It: Tiravano lievemente una pietra che sembrava leggermente diversa dalle altre.En: They gently pulled on a stone that seemed slightly different from the others.It: Con un click, si aprì un piccolo vano nascosto.En: With a click, a small hidden compartment opened.It: Dentro, avvolto in un panno di seta, c'era l'oggetto tanto cercato: l'anello di famiglia, intatto e splendente.En: Inside, wrapped in a silk cloth, was the much-sought-after object: the family ring, intact and shining.It: "Non ci posso credere," disse Luca con la voce rotta dall'emozione.En: "I can't believe it," said Luca, his voice choked with emotion.It: "È davvero l'anello dei Farnese!"En: "It's really the Farnese ring!"It: Sofia sorrise.En: Sofia smiled.It: "Ma sembra che questo anello nasconda anche altri segreti.En: "But it seems this ring hides other secrets as well.It: Guarda qui," indicò un piccolo foglio ingiallito accanto all'anello.En: Look here," she pointed to a small yellowed sheet next to the ring.It: Era un elenco di nomi e date, alcuni dei quali riconducibili alla famiglia di Luca.En: It was a list of names and dates, some of which related to Luca's family.It: Con l'anello finalmente in mano, Luca prese una decisione.En: With the ring finally in his hand, Luca made a decision.It: Doveva restare a Roma.En: He had to stay in Rome.It: C'era ancora tanto da scoprire sulla sua famiglia, un legame che superava la semplice eredità materiale.En: There was still so much to discover about his family, a connection that surpassed mere material inheritance.It: Mentre il sole tramontava su Piazza Navona, Luca si sentì radicato nella sua storia, determinato a esplorarne ogni angolo.En: As the sun set over Piazza Navona, Luca felt rooted in his history, determined to explore every corner of it.It: Il suo viaggio accademico poteva aspettare; ora iniziava un nuovo capitolo della sua vita, ricco di storie da riscoprire e vite da comprendere.En: His academic journey could wait; now a new chapter of his life was beginning, rich with stories to rediscover and lives to understand.

The Lost Skills of Our Grandparents | Episode 357 In today's fast-paced, tech-driven world, many of the skills that kept our grandparents self-sufficient and resilient have been forgotten. These skills were essential for survival before the conveniences of modern technology, and as preppers and homesteaders, we can learn a lot from the past. In this episode, we dive into the lost skills of our grandparents and why they matter more than ever today. Food Preservation: Canning, Smoking, and Root Cellars Before refrigeration, people had to be resourceful with food storage. Canning was one of the most popular methods, with families using water bath and pressure canning to preserve vegetables, meats, and fruits. Smoking and curing meats provided a way to store protein long-term without refrigeration. Root cellars, the original off-grid refrigerators, kept vegetables fresh through the winter months using natural temperature control. Cooking from Scratch and Stretching Ingredients Our grandparents knew how to make the most out of simple ingredients. They baked their own bread, churned butter, and made cheese from fresh milk. Nothing went to waste—leftovers became soups, and every part of an animal was used. Depression-era meals were designed to be filling and nutritious with minimal resources, a skill set that is incredibly valuable for modern preppers. Self-Sufficiency on the Homestead Homesteading was a way of life for past generations. Backyard chickens provided eggs and meat, while rabbits were an efficient protein source. Heirloom gardening ensured a steady supply of food, and saving seeds guaranteed crops for the next year. Composting and natural fertilizers kept the soil healthy without synthetic chemicals. Making and Repairing Clothes In a time before fast fashion, people knew how to repair and make their own clothing. Sewing, darning socks, and patching garments extended the life of every item. Some even tanned hides to create leather for durable shoes and workwear. These skills not only saved money but also ensured self-reliance. Natural Remedies and Home Medicine Before over-the-counter medicines were widely available, families relied on herbal remedies and natural treatments. Homemade salves, tinctures, and poultices treated everything from cuts to colds. Many households had a go-to list of medicinal plants, such as chamomile for relaxation, garlic for immune support, and honey for wound care. Basic first aid knowledge was also essential for survival. Off-Grid Skills: Surviving Without Modern Technology Our grandparents didn't have the luxury of GPS, smartphones, or even reliable electricity. They knew how to navigate using the sun, stars, and landmarks. Many homes were heated with wood, and alternative fuels like kerosene were common. Water had to be sourced and purified naturally, whether from wells, rain catchment, or boiling. Making soap and candles at home was a necessity rather than a hobby. Bartering and Community Cooperation Self-sufficiency didn't mean isolation. Communities thrived on bartering and cooperation. People traded goods and services instead of relying on big-box stores. Skills like blacksmithing, carpentry, and midwifery were highly valued. Neighbors helped each other out, reinforcing the importance of strong community ties—a lesson modern preppers can take to heart. Why These Skills Matter Today The world is unpredictable. Whether it's economic downturns, supply chain disruptions, or natural disasters, the ability to rely on old-school skills can make a huge difference. By learning these lost arts, we can regain a sense of independence and resilience that many have forgotten. What's Next? Take a look at your daily life—what skills could you start learning today? Whether it's growing your own food, making your own bread, or learning basic sewing, every step toward self-reliance is a step toward security. Join us in this episode as we explore these invaluable lessons from the past and how they can help us prepare for the future. Tune in now to Episode 357 of the Survivalpunk Podcast!

Planning Your Spring Garden | Episode 342 Spring may still be a few months away, but now is the perfect time to start planning your garden. By preparing early, you can ensure a productive and enjoyable growing season. Why Plan Now? Getting a head start means you'll be ready when planting season arrives. Popular seed varieties often sell out quickly, so ordering early ensures you'll have what you need. Planning now also allows you to spread out costs, making it easier to budget for seeds, soil, and tools. What to Plant When deciding what to grow, focus on crops your family enjoys eating. It's also important to choose plants suited to your region's climate and soil conditions. Consider companion planting to maximize space and help your plants thrive—tomatoes and basil, for example, are a classic pair. Preparing the Soil Healthy soil is the foundation of a thriving garden. Start by testing your soil to understand its pH and nutrient levels. From there, you can add compost, manure, or other amendments to enrich it. Mulching is another excellent way to retain moisture and control weeds. Starting Seeds Indoors Seed starting is a great way to jump-start your garden. Use trays, lights, and a warm space to grow your seedlings indoors. Heirloom seeds offer unique flavors and qualities, while hybrid seeds often provide better disease resistance—choose what fits your goals. Tools and Expansion Now is also a good time to clean and sharpen your tools or replace worn-out equipment. If you're expanding your garden, think about raised beds, container gardening, or trying new varieties. Consider setting up irrigation systems like drip lines or rain barrels to save water. By planning ahead, you'll be set up for success and can enjoy the fruits (and vegetables!) of your labor all season long.
So often we attempt to be aspirational in the setting of traditions in our families. What does that mean? It means we work hard to build traditions meant to project to others the "perfection" of our marriages, our childrearing, and our homesteads. Rather than cave to the pressure to portray the perfect home with the perfect traditions for the perfect children in the perfect marriage with the perfect timing and gravitas, let your traditions develop more naturally, from your unique quirks and talents. Andrew's family, he says, has a tradition of staying up late at night each winter vomiting. At least they can laugh about it! Tim and his family sing the Appleseed song with a Beethoven-esque number of amens to conclude. Children love these simple, easygoing traditions and will pass them on to their own families in due time. Lighten up. Let the traditions develop naturally and...awkwardly. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
