What if we could grow nutritious, sustainable protein—not in months or weeks—but in just one day? This episode's guest is doing just that. Rather than going big with animal agriculture, MicroHarvest is going small with microbial agriculture.  A huge number of animals are used to feed both our pets and the animals we raise for food. Kate Bekers, the CEO and co-founder of MicroHarvest, is seeking to change that. She's running a fast-rising European biotech startup using fermentation to produce high-quality protein from microbes—in just 24 hours. Based in Hamburg and Lisbon, MicroHarvest is on a mission to reshape how the world thinks about protein production. Rather than growing plants or animals, they grow single-cell microbes in bioreactors, yielding a high-protein, micronutrient-rich ingredient that can be used in everything from animal feed and pet food to, eventually, human food. With 10 million euros raised and hopefully a new 30 million euro round on the horizon, their process is fast, efficient, and radically resource-light—requiring far less land, water, and energy than traditional agriculture. Already able to produce one ton of their product per day, MicroHarvest is proving that microbial protein isn't just a lab experiment—it's a scalable, real-world solution. In this episode, Kate shares what it takes to bring biotech innovation to market, and why she believes protein production should be faster, cleaner, and closer to the consumer. We talk about the company's entry into pet food and aquaculture, and what the future holds for sustainable protein made from the tiniest organisms on Earth. If you're curious about the future of food, circular economies, or how to build a business that's good for animals and the planet, this conversation is for you.

New Projects: Tablet weaving to make an armband for dog shows and name plates for each dog's crate. I finished the dog paws–two bands with seven paws on each band. Each one is about 12 inches long. I made a prototype of the armband with some leftover ribbon and plastic from a sheet container.  I'm using Linda Henrickson's pattern from my Handwoven library. Pattern can also be found on her website here and then click “free instructions.”  Fireweed Sock number one is done. Sock two is past the ribbing and into the very simple patterning on the leg. I love the way the colors are striping.  Spinning the 2018 CVM that I've been carding since November. Finished three skeins (162 grams) and I'm on round two of filling the three bobbins. Almost finished refilling the second bobbin. Love the dyed-in-the-wool look of the overdyed gray!  Started washing the rest of that CVM fleece with an all day and overnight cold soak. I have plans to comb at least some of what is left. Locks are long enoughIt's a really nice fleece, especially for $8.50/lb but there are some second cuts and tender sun bleached tips causing some neps.

It just doesn't happen very often we record in a field surrounded by cows just after a cow gave birth to a calf. There is not more fitting place to explore the super complex role of animals in the food and agriculture space than walking the landing- and standing amongst the cows- with Benedikt Boesel, founder and farmer at Gut&Bosël, in Alt Madlitz, in Germany. We discuss everything from how much joy animals bring to a farm and how complex it is to treat them well and how they are a direct mirror of your actions.
