In this episode we sit down with Sara Dent, co-founder of Young Agrarians, a Canada-wide network supporting the next generation of ecological farmers. Sara shares the origin story of the movement, her early passion for farming, and the role photography and storytelling played in shaping the Young Agrarians brand. Together, they unpack the urgent need for farm renewal in Canada, address the systemic barriers to land access and funding, and explore creative solutions like land trusts, incubator farms, and micro-loans. Sara emphasizes the human dimension of farming, arguing that technology alone can't save the food system. She also speaks candidly about the emotional and psychological toll of farming and the importance of community, mental health, and scale-appropriate agriculture. From personal stories to policy insights, this episode paints a compelling picture of what it takes to grow not just food—but farmers.Young Agrarians: https://youngagrarians.org/ Timestamps[0:00] Intro[2:07] Meet Sara Dent and the origins of Young Agrarians[7:12] Making farming “cool”: early branding and Flickr storytelling[13:14] What is Young Agrarians and who they serve[8:41] Canada's urgent farmer shortage and Quebec's leadership in farm renewal[14:29] Why the human connection to land still matters[23:14] Land access, market failure, and the challenge of farm succession[36:23] Top-down vs grassroots change: what it really takes[41:21] Land trusts, incubator farms, and alternate ownership models[51:10] Growing farmers: from farm-curious to farm business owners[1:04:04] The policy shift and scaling Young Agrarians across Canada[1:24:04] Success stories and feedback from the farming community[1:26:54] Envisioning the future: farm renewal, local food, and climate adaptation[1:35:27] Rapid fire Q&A and closing reflectionsSponsorsTessier: Use promo code MGI10 for 10% off and free shipping on your first purchase for the Eastern North American regions Johnny's Selected Seeds: Sign up for Johnny's newsletter to receive the latest news, products, and more.

In this episode, we speak with Dave Chapman, co-founder of the Real Organic Project, about the political and ecological crossroads facing the organic food movement. Dave reflects on the industrial takeover of the USDA organic label and why he believes decentralization—not scaling—is key to meaningful change. The conversation explores the deep ties between soil health, human health, and corporate power, questioning whether collapse is necessary for real transformation. Dave also shares insights from past guests on climate, culture, and the true meaning of sustainability. The episode wraps with a rapid-fire Q&A, touching on books, bread, and the surprising food that might just help us trust our taste buds again.SponsorsTessier: Use promo code MGI10 for 10% off and free shipping on your first purchase for the Eastern North American regions.

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

Steamboat Willie and its sychronized sound is one, while The Old Mill's claim to fame is the multiplane camera. While we take what it does for granted now in the digital age, back then it was a big step-up in cinematography for animated shorts. But does it really add that much to this short?

Love the show? Hate the show? Think it's just okay? Send us a text!The Old Mill is made famous by many movies, such as Halloween 6 and SLC Punk!, but Teen Alien is not one of those movies. Yes, it is filmed at the Old Mill, but it doesn't meet the same standard as Michael Myers sacrificing his son as part of a cult ritual. So join Brandon and Nate as they say how terrible the movie is, and then unconvincingly try to act like it was good so you'll watch it. Also, if you know anyone who was part of this production, please reach out!!! Below is a link to the movie. It is free, but time is valuable, so use your time wisely. https://youtu.be/xKJYdvpspFE?si=OZMZnvvV7MKPNQ2CSupport the showFind us on social media as well!https://linktr.ee/Thisisaplace

Original Patreon Description: Branson Reese (Swanboy, Rude Tales of Magic) is back and we're talking about the original idea for his BLHHiP episode... a journey through animation history with 13 of his favorite horror influenced shorts from Disney, Warner Brothers, the Fleischer brothers and beyond! This jam-packed, Ernie Hudson-themed episode sees us talking about influencing everyone from Alfred Hitchcock to John Waters, getting the boys together to see The Old Mill, the reference danger point of red skeletons, and the importance of unimportant art! Don't miss out! FROM THE CORRECTIONS DEPARTMENT: I accidentally called Lawyer Goodwill a double Jekyll when he is in fact a double Mr. Hyde. SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: I've assembled a playlist with several of the shorts discussed on Youtube. The rest are easily findable on dailymotion and vimeo through google.
