Podcasts about organic farmers

#215:  Missouri farmer Liz Graznak tells Linley about facing the season after the very recent funding cuts have left her operation, Happy Hollow Farm, without a quarter of its regular sales channels. Many organic farmers have found themselves in the same ill-timed situation this spring, having bought their seed and started many crops weeks ago, only to learn they will not be supplying local schools and institutions with their food.Liz Graznak founded Real Organic Project-certified Happy Hollow Farm in Columbia, Missouri in 2010 after earning her Master's Degree in Plant Breeding from Cornell University. Her farm has grown into a thriving 16-acre diversified operation with veggies, flowers and laying hens. Liz recently served on the National Organic Standards Board and was recognized as Organic Farmer of the Year at Marbleseed (MOSES) in 2021.To watch a video version of this podcast with access to the full transcript and links relevant to our conversation, please visit:https://realorganicproject.org/liz-graznak-surprise-25-percent-market-gone-215The 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/directoryWe 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/Are you an organic farmer looking to communicate the premium quality of your milk, meat, fruits, veggies, or CSA shares to shoppers? Through our no-cost, add-on certification to USDA certified-organic, Real Organic Project aims to bring organic back to its high-integrity roots, prioritizing healthy soil, humane treatment of animals, labor protections and a more regionally based agriculture for community well-being.

SPECIAL GUEST Joel Salatin The Lunatic Farmer Regenerative Farmer Joel's Blog - https://www.thelunaticfarmer.com/blog Polyface Farms - https://polyfacefarms.com/ RFK Jr let's not underestimate the pull that he has and his inner sanctum.  I know Thomas Massie and he and I go way back. I know the Means and they have caused quite a stir.  This agriculture element hasn't been a republican issue it is now for the first time. I think its because we've gotten so far away from good farming practices that it is attracting the attention of others. I don't know I would have voted for RFK Jr, I was thrilled he was in the race. He has always sued the government for not doing their jobs and I'd like to just see the agencies abolished.  He has gone way up in my mind b/c this showed heart and class. Much of the agriculture economy is dependent on doing things wrong. From feeding cows corn to all manner of things. The monetization is often directly tied to the farm policy and economic imperative. As long as Chick-fil-A and McDonald's are building new stores we are still on the wrong track. We have damaged millions of ares of land that we simply can't use anymore for food. The fact is we are for all of our platitudes of climate, we are still as a culture going backwards on health and soil health and nutrition and that pendulum has swung so far that it is now coming back to us. Has Cargil and Purdue have they overplayed their hand? The fact that SNAP spends $9 billion a year for sugar drinks, it should give you pause as to where we have been going. 10% of the SNAP budget which has nutrition in its title goes to sugary drinks. Durable Trades Book - the new value recognition. The new 401k in my opinion is actually knowing how or knowing people who know how to grow, fix and build things. I don't mean computer programing either. I mean planting a tree, canning vegetables, working on a truck engine things like that. I don't want to be stuck in a condominium it the city when stuff hits the fan. These dirty jobs are part of what we need to start thinking about. The average American male b/w 25-35 year olds spend 20 hours a week playing video games.  They could be growing food, taking vocational courses.  There is so much they could be doing w/ that wasted time. Was it hard for you to get your products into restaurants in Virginia? To unpack the food safety service would take almost a day. For many of your listeners, we can process 20,000 chickens w/o government inspection and sell them to restaurants, delis and homeowners.  But I can't sell 1lb of sausage or ground beef w/o a government inspection. There is an unreasonable labyrinth. That is why Thomas Massie  - Constitutional Amendment  Here's the deal we live in a time where we have choice in the bathroom, bedroom, womb but no choice in our mouth and stomach.  Our own microbiome so to speak. Our Founders couldn't imagine a day where we couldn't buy or drink milk from our neighbors cows or goats. Massie and I believe that of all the rights we could bestow on a human is the human right to food choice needs to be a foundational right.  The Tree Huggers the Earth Muffins -  Government policy, quit subsidizing Tyson and don't subsidize the small farms either! I don't want government in our food system period. Organic Farmer - that doesn't mean I'm a liberal!  I have the honor and privilege to make BOTH sides mad MAHA one could say America was never healthy. We need to Make America FREE Again. There are farmers ready to produce everything from staples to convenient foods. Like honest Hot Pockets! But we have a bureaucrat standing b/w them and the public. There needs to be a pathway for 2 people to exercise a voluntary food transaction w/o a bureaucrat being involved. We should be able to engage in neighbor to neighbor food transactions.

Samhain is Gaelic festival on 1 November marking the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter or the "darker half" of the year. According to Irish mythology, Samhain (like Bealtaine) was a time when the 'doorways' to the Otherworld opened, allowing supernatural beings and the souls of the dead to come into our world; while Bealtaine was a summer festival for the living, Samhain "was essentially a festival for the dead". We explore this and some spooky tales with our guest Seán Clancy who has many titles including Accredited Seanachaí (traditional Gaelic storyteller/ historian), Irish Pagan, Druid, ITGA Tour Guide, The Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids (OBOD) member, Organic Farmer, Hill of Uisneach Guide, Photographer for fun, Chartered Engineer with Westmeath Councuil and most importantly a Dad & Husband.If you would like to support the podcast please Buy us a Coffee or check out our social media channels to purchase our new Coffee Tumblrs.Instagram: @soulbrewpodcastFacebook: @soulbrewpodcastTik Tok: @soulbrewpodcastTwitter: @soulrewpodcastEmail: soulbrewpodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Noted author and organic farmer from the Galloway, Scotland sits down with filmmaker Tom Opre to talk about land and wildlife management issues and how rewilding fits into the equation. 

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: Dairy farms are the backbone of Maine's rural communities. In addition to maintaining working agricultural landscapes, organic dairy farms protect natural resources, and also act as economic drivers for their communities by creating jobs on the farm and for related agricultural businesses. But these farms are in crisis, with many farmers exiting the dairy industry due to a confluence of factors: from loss of contracts to lower pay prices in relation to soaring production costs. In this episode of Common Ground Radio, we'll address these topics and others related to the state of organic dairy in the Northeast — as well as how communities can support local, organic dairy farms. List of subjects: – Organic dairy industry – The state of organic dairy in Maine and the Northeast – Origin of Livestock USDA organic rule – Cost of organic dairy production – Organic dairy pay price – Where to buy local, organic milk – Northeast Organic Family Farm Partnership – Dairy breeding and genetics Guest/s: Jacki Martinez Perkins, MOFGA's organic dairy and livestock specialist Chris Grigsby, MOFGA Certification Services (MCS) director Olga Moriarty, executive director of the Northeast Organic Family Farm Partnership (NOFFP) FMI: Find Local, Organic Farmers and Producers — mofgacertification.org/find-mofga-certified-organic-food-and-products Northeast Organic Family Farm Partnership — saveorganicfamilyfarms.org Pledge to Support Northeast Organic Family Farms — saveorganicfamilyfarms.org/pledge Ways to Support Organic Dairy — mofga.org/advocacy/support-organic-dairy Common Ground Radio 12/8/22: Maine Organic Dairy Farms Are In Trouble – How You Can Help — archives.weru.org/common-ground-radio/2022/12/common-ground-radio-12-8-22-maine-organic-dairy-farms-are-in-trouble-how-you-can-help About the hosts: Holli Cederholm has been involved in organic agriculture since 2005 when she first apprenticed on a small farm. 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.

A conversation with Adrien Pelletier, farmer, breeder, and baker, about wheat, seeds, no till organic farming, why all farmers or most farmers need to become seed breeders again, and why it is really difficult to bake sourdough with traditional organic wheat seeds that are not breed for high productive farms.Why Adrien want to start changing the world in the most difficult place, at home, which is a large industrial, mostly extractive, commodity wheat-growing region in France? Picture a sea of wheat, large relatively flat fields and no trees. He argues we are in the prehistoric area of organic farming, and there is so much to discover, especially around population wheats. We also learn about no till organic farming is the way to go (and super difficult).---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/adrien-pelletier.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

We just had a major breaking story coming out of the state of Pennsylvania that affects all of us. You may have heard about Amos Miller, the Amish farmer who's come under heavy persecution by the state of Pennsylvania as well as the Food and Drug Administration for his organic farm products sold across the nation. Some of you may actually be customers of Amos. I know a lot of you enjoy from Farm-to-Table products. Amos has been doing this for at least two decades. He has a massive base of loyal customers and he's precisely the kind of person you'd want to be a neighbor to or somebody behind our economy However, back in January of this year, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture in cooperation with the US Department of Agriculture raided Amos Miller's Farm where they seized tens of thousands of dollars worth of food even though there were no complaints whatsoever from anyone regarding the quality of Amos' products. Wait until you hear what the state tried to do next. I am joined today by renowned attorney and populist hero Robert Barnes, who was actually part of the proceedings and witnessed firsthand what the state was trying to do. Robert is supporting Amos through his Free America Law Center.

Organic Farmer and herbalist Jane Hawley Stevens discovered the magic of natural remedies in her personal life before establishing Four Elements Organic Herbals and developing a complete herbal wellness line. Jane and her husband have a 130 acre farm where they have been certified organic since 1990, and take great care to cultivate their plants sustainably. In her new book “The Celestial Garden” Jane shares the wisdom of planting by the moon and by the zodiac, relying on the earth's natural rhythms for guidance not only in the garden but in so many aspects of life. She explains how the movement of the moon through the constellations of the zodiac provides a detailed calendar of optimal times for planting seeds, roots, and transplants, as well as for pruning, weeding, propagation, harvesting, and even starting new projects or taking a rest. In this conversation, we talk about the different methods and traditions of astrological gardening, the importance of listening to your inner guidance, grounding ourselves in the wisdom of elders and living in harmony with the moon and the Earth.

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com introduces us to Jean-Martin Fortier, a farmer, educator, entrepreneur, and best- selling author specializing in organic and biointensive vegetable production. His book, The Market Gardener https://themarketgardener.com has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers worldwide to reimagine ecological human-scale food systems. His teachings have been adapted to different online organic farming courses that support over 3400+ growers in over 90 countries. The book's goal is to help small scale Organic Farmers across the nation to become successful and get through the often-barren Winter months.

A 5th generation commodity crop farmer from Indiana, the Heartland of America, Rick Clark had an awakening during a one-inch rain event in 2007 that washed topsoil from his fields. That moment spawned a ten-year journey during which Rick created rich healthy soil that captures carbon and holds water, diversified his crops and increased his profits. This success placed him at the center of the film Common Ground. As the film says, Rick “cracked the code” of large-scale regenerative farming.

Today we hear from Cole Mazariegos-Anastassiou, who is a co-owner-operator of Brisa Ranch along with his wife Veronica and their friend Cristóbal Cruz Hernández. They started Brisa Ranch in 2018 and now grow about 40 different organic crops on 30 acres in Pescadero, California, which is 45 miles from the Bay Area.

Today on the Ecosystem Member podcast, we have Guy Singh Watson, the founder of Riverford Organic Farmers. For our non-UK listeners who maybe haven't heard of Guy, he's a bit of a business and farming legend in the UK. After growing up on his family's dairy farm and then becoming a management consultant, Guy returned to the farm and created Riverford Organic Farmers, which in two stages, he actually completely sold to employees - probably for less than he could have gotten from outside buyers - so the company could stay true to its values. I've been a subscriber to Riverford's veg boxes since I got to England a few years ago. Riverford is in no way paying for or sponsoring this episode, Guy just created a company with full respect for nature and I really admire his leadership on key issues related to healthy food production for people and planet.

U.S agriculture must help mitigate climate change.
