Discover the origins of ACEnet, once known as the Worker-Owned Network, and its transformation into a beacon of innovation and support for food businesses in Central Appalachia.

Get ready for an eye-opening conversation with the legendary Joel Salatin, founder of , as we dissect the future of the food supply and economy in the United States. Joel brings his trademark wit and wisdom to a discussion about economic scenarios like recession and hyperinflation, using a wasp nest analogy to predict how these challenges could impact food production. From deficit spending to potential government interventions, we explore the instability that might arise and the resilience needed to navigate such uncertain times. We also dive into the world of direct food sourcing, emphasizing the importance of cutting down on ultra-processed foods and fostering connections with local farmers. Learn how to fortify your food supply by exploring farmer's markets, community-supported agriculture, and even backyard gardening. This episode offers practical tips on cultivating your own food oasis at home, turning ornamental gardens into edible landscapes that boost both sustainability and self-sufficiency. Finally, we explore the ethical dimensions of food production, from the rise of non-GMO farming to the humane treatment of animals. Joel shares his unconventional yet sustainable farming practices, emphasizing stewardship over ownership and the role of faith in his life. In a conversation that moves from local to global, we touch on the role of consumer choice in supporting farmers and fostering a healthier ecosystem. Join us for insights that span from the farm to the table, with an emphasis on collaboration and growth in the food industry. ------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter Timestamps (00:16) - The Future of Food Supply (10:24) - The Benefits of Direct Food Sourcing (18:36) - Direct Food Sourcing and Self-Sufficiency (25:23) - Respecting Animals in Food Production (40:13) - Culinary Philosophy and Sustainable Farming (51:52) - Networking in the Food Industry ----------------------------------------------   Chapter 1 The Future of Food Supply 00:16 This chapter features a compelling discussion with Joel Salatin, the founder of Polyface Farms, about the current state and future of the food supply and economy. We explore potential economic outcomes for the U.S. in the next five years, considering possibilities such as recession, depression, or hyperinflation, while acknowledging the unpredictability of such events. Salatin provides insights into the consequences of deficit spending and potential governmental actions like price controls, which could disrupt industries like food production. Using an analogy of a wasp nest, he illustrates the potential instability and reactionary measures that may arise from economic dysfunction, offering a thought-provoking perspective on the challenges and resilience needed in uncertain times.   Chapter 2 The Benefits of Direct Food Sourcing 10:24 This chapter focuses on the importance of reducing the consumption of ultra-processed foods and establishing a direct connection to your food sources. We emphasize the significance of opting for local farmer's markets, community-supported agriculture, and even direct shipments from farms like Polyface Farms, which offers nationwide delivery. The conversation highlights the benefits of decentralizing food systems to enhance resilience against disruptions, like those seen in 2020. We also explore how individuals with backyard spaces can start growing their own food by planting what they enjoy eating, considering both perennials like berries and orchard trees, and annuals like vegetables. The chapter suggests utilizing raised beds for child-friendly gardening and promoting edible landscaping to replace ornamental plants with those that provide food, thereby maximizing the utility of garden spaces.   Chapter 3 Direct Food Sourcing and Self-Sufficiency 18:36 This chapter takes us on a journey through the historical and contemporary implications of food security, using the backdrop of Anne Frank's story to illustrate the resilience of rural communities during crises. We explore how the ability to source food directly from the countryside provided a lifeline during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam and consider parallels to modern urban vulnerabilities. The conversation shifts to discussing the significance of maintaining a well-stocked pantry and staying healthy to mitigate the impact of societal disruptions. Attention is given to the prevalence of GMOs and additives in modern diets, encouraging listeners to seek out non-GMO foods and support local farmers. By becoming patrons of clean, sustainable agriculture, individuals can play a crucial role in enabling farmers to thrive and reduce reliance on supermarket chains.   Chapter 4 Respecting Animals in Food Production 25:23 This chapter examines the growing trend of non-GMO farming and the impact of consumer choices on the food system, emphasizing the importance of supporting non-GMO products to promote healthier ecosystems and sustainable practices. We discuss the potential health implications of additives in industrial food products, such as antifreeze agents in ice cream, and how discerning consumers can identify more natural alternatives. Additionally, we explore the ethical considerations surrounding animal farming, highlighting the differences between industrial and small-scale operations. The conversation touches on the respect and care smaller farms tend to have for their animals, which may contribute to higher quality meat that cooks faster and retains better texture due to reduced stress and adrenaline levels in the animals. This discussion underscores the interconnectedness of food production, consumer choice, and environmental and ethical considerations.   Chapter 5 Culinary Philosophy and Sustainable Farming 40:13 This chapter explores the journey and philosophy of Joel, a self-proclaimed "lunatic farmer," who has embraced unconventional farming practices that prioritize ecological sustainability over traditional methods. Joel shares how he has been marginalized by the conventional agricultural community, drawing parallels to political figures like RFK Jr., and how he has chosen to embrace his outsider status with humor and resilience. We delve into Joel's holistic view of farming, where he emphasizes stewardship over ownership, viewing land and livestock as God's creations that require responsible management. His approach has allowed him to remain unaffected by global events like the fertilizer crisis following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Joel also touches on the importance of faith and family, describing himself as a Christian libertarian environmentalist capitalist, and underscores the need for cultural appreciation and collaboration. This narrative concludes with a reflection on the positive atmosphere of a Ron Paul conference, contrasting it with more divisive gatherings.   Chapter 6 Networking in the Food Industry 51:52 This chapter focuses on a conversation where I express my gratitude for a guest's participation and apologize for exceeding time limits. I offer my public relations expertise and access to a broad range of press contacts, particularly in the farm and libertarian freedom sectors. The guest, who frequently participates in various podcasts covering topics from business to food, expresses interest in the contacts I can provide. I conclude by reaffirming the positive experience of the exchange and extending my support through sharing valuable media connections, thus aiming to enhance future opportunities for both of us.   Joel Salatin, Polyface Farms, Food Supply, Economy, United States, Recession, Hyperinflation, Wasp Nest Analogy, Economic Scenarios, Deficit Spending, Government Interventions, Direct Food Sourcing, Ultra-Processed Foods, Local Farmers, Farmer's Markets, Community-Supported Agriculture, Backyard Gardening, Edible Landscapes, Sustainability, Self-Sufficiency, Ethical Dimensions, Non-GMO Farming, Humane Treatment, Sustainable Farming Practices, Stewardship, Faith, Consumer Choice, Food Production, Resilience, Collaboration, Networking, Public Relations, Press Contacts, Positive Experience

“The things that you run away from, you end up going back to as you get older.” —Aishwarya Iyer  Because of our busy schedules, it's all too easy to rush through meal preparation on autopilot. But cooking with presence and awareness has profound benefits for both body and soul. With each conscious action in the kitchen, whether stirring a pot of soup or mixing a salad, we nourish our mind and spirit, as well as our physical needs. The mindfulness we cultivate over the stove can spread throughout our day, improving mood and relationships toward more conscious living. Aishwarya Iyer's passion for conscious cooking inspired her to create Brightland, where she strives to elevate people's connection to their food through products that encourage mindfulness. By sharing the stories of the farmers and flavors behind each product, she aims to help customers more present and aware during mealtimes, allowing them to reap the mental and physical benefits of living in the moment while nourishing themselves and their loved ones.

In a recent unit, combining Spanish and Sociales, students collaborated and learned from local farmers at Granitos de Paz.  This reciprocal partnership involved students learning about what foods are growing locally in their community from the farmers and creating a system for members of their community to purchase directly from the local farmers, rather than buying imported foods with a higher carbon footprint. Other experts from the community also visited the class as guest speakers. This service learning project is a great example of how students can work collaboratively with a community partner to both learn from that community partner, and make meaningful contributions to their work.

  Fresh produce travels an average of about 1,500 miles from farm to your dinner table. It's one of the reasons that many consumers prefer to buy local, believing the food they're buying and eating is truly fresh with the added benefit of supporting a local farmer or community member. Those are two of the principles behind Community Supported Agriculture or CSA businesses, arrangements and plans that can be a win-win for both consumer and farmer. To explain more about CSAs on The Spark Thursday were Mike Nolan, owner Earth Spring Farm in Carlisle and Bethany Hinkle, CSA Manager at Spiral Path Farm CSA in Loysville, Perry County, who explained the concept of a CSA,"We see it as a relationship between the community and the farm that provides mutual support and commitment. Since the members (who join the CSA) met at the beginning of the season to be customers for the season, and then we as the farmers commit to the community to do all of the work of the seeding, the planting, the growing, harvesting and delivering those." Hinkle described how their CSA works,"We have different size options. So depending on how many vegetables you eat and we have different season lengths whether you want to get a box of veggies or our whole 35 weeks of growing, April to mid-December, or if you just want our peak summer season, or just want to try it out for a few weeks. And then we have delivery sites anywhere from Manheim to Shippensburg and everywhere in between, where we will do weekly box deliveries while we're in season that are farmer's choice of what veggies are ripe that week that we want to send out to our members." The customer benefits from the CSA by knowing they have fresh produce that was harvested recently and didn't have to be shipped a long distance. Nolan said there a few benefits for the farmer,"For us the benefit is we get to showcase what we're growing. We get to showcase what other farms are doing too, because we don't grow everything that we put in the CSA. So we will pull in from other farms that we know. They are almost all organic, with the exception of maybe a fruit farm. And then the benefit for us is that we just get a constant stream of revenue all year, because we do run all year with our CSA. You can also put your CSA on hold with ours. And then so we'll see the numbers sort of decrease over the winter time and then pick up during the summertime and fall. And that's just a trend that we deal with. But it's a nice little cash flow that kind of keeps things moving for us."  Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

 New Hampshire farmers have struggled with crop losses after flooding and late spring freezes last year. The state rolled out a relief program with $8 million dollars in aid to cover farm losses, but some farmers say they're frustrated with it. This year is also the warmest winter in New Hampshire history, challenging maple syrup producers. And if you've been having a hard time finding a place to live or affording your current home, you're not alone. The state's vacancy rate is consistently low – under 1% – while the average cost of rent is climbing higher. Lawmakers have proposed changes to zoning laws to address the tight market in New Hampshire. Learn more about these stories on this week's edition of the New Hampshire News Recap with NHPR's Kate Dario and New Hampshire Housing's Rob Dapice.

They want more food, which we have less land, and they want it grown in an environmentally friendly manner. So how are we going to solve that problem? In walks, vertical farming and CEA.""We had a family farm that was passed down through generations and generations and it's just it's not something that kids are growing up and doing now." "One of my favorite things about real estate is the fact that it is 100% what problems you can solve, whether you're successful or not. So whether it's even a transaction that you're helping someone out with, or it's a building that you're looking at to develop, or there's some zoning requirements that you have to work around, it's always a problem that's being solved and you know you solve big problems and you know big profits follow."Resources MentionedCody's Website - https://www.vegginc.com/ Cody's Linkedin -

"When you bring people together around food, you create community - you create love." Our guest this week is Robin Mallery, former Executive Director of ⁠Urban Seeds⁠. Her passion is food. Not just eating it, but bringing food justice into our community. That can mean a lot of different things - so she helps us unpack ideas from seasonal eating to local farmers to fighting for food equality for people whose nearest food source is a gas station. A flourishing person and a flourishing city has access to healthy foods, so if we want to make Evansville a place where everyone flourishes, we have to look at the healthy food gaps in our area.

Happy Satiated Saturday! I have a very special guest with me today on the podcast. A little backstory first, I was chatting with a previous guest on the podcast a few months ago about my brother in law, who is a farmer and consultant to companies with natural climate solutions. He is passionate about teaching others on soil, food and the health of our environment. After mentioning what he does, this guest said, "Wow, I'd love to hear more from him." So I reached out to Jacob and was like, you've got to come on my podcast. I know I talk a lot here about the emotional aspects of our relationship with food and why we may eat to self soothe. And a part of healing your relationship with food can also be falling back in love with the nourishing qualities of food and feeling empowered, that you get to choose what food you satiate your body with.In this week's episode, I chat with Jacob Fox, farmer and consultant to companies with natural climate solutions, about healing your relationship with food through connecting with your local farmers and farmers markets, why choosing local food makes a difference, and questions to ask your local farmers.You can also read the transcript to this week's episode  here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/getting-to-know-your-local-farmersI talk about creating your Satiated Plate in the Somatic Eating® Program.

Susan Hamilton is back with James Lockridge for more on his fight to protect local farming practices from municipal overreach. Here's the scenario:Landowners of property inside and surrounding the city limits will lease the land to local farmers to grow grasslands that are later mowed and baled, in addition to raising cattle for the feedlot.Municipalities make more money off that land when it's developed, because while farmers use Ag Exemption to offset the expenses associated with food production, new developments on that property earn the city several years of backroll taxes when that development starts.James describes the bully tactics commonly used by city management to squeeze them out of those properties, and goes into detail about the environmental and practical reasons these lands are necessary. Our food supply needs protection!
