Episode Description: “Once you start eating your own food, it expands your taste horizons and you can't be afraid to experiment. If it doesn't work out and it's horrible, just put it in the compost bucket and start over. It's okay, you'll be fine.” —Marjory Wildcraft   Food is not just sustenance; it's a fundamental human right that we've outsourced to complex, fragile systems. This disconnection from food sources has transformed us into passive consumers dependent on a market that creates an illusion of abundance, masking a precarious supply chain that can unravel in moments. But we are not powerless. Our backyard is a potential fortress of food security, self-sufficiency, and resilience.  Marjory Wildcraft is a pioneering educator who teaches sustainable food production and home medicine skills. She has developed innovative systems for growing food in diverse environments, helping people reclaim their food independence. Tune in as Justine and Marjory explore how we can transform our living space into a productive food ecosystem through urban gardening, home medicine, animal protein production, seed diversity, nutrient cycling, and economic resilience strategies.

What an absolute pleasure it was having Monica and Jud on the show.  It's nice to get a perspective of Fresco Harmony from a couple of pros why aren't exactly in the drywall industry.  That's right...  Monica and Judy are the first professional painters to grace The Drywall Podcast and I couldn't be more lucky.  Not only are they extremely professional at what they do, they aren't scared to try something new.  We talk about their first experience with Fresco Harmony, the housing industry in Paonia and how Monica found herself loving life in a small Colorado community.  There's lots of laughs and lots of great information on this, the 117th, episode of The Drywall Podcast.   This episode of The Drywall Podcast was brought to you by CSR Building Supply.  You can find out more by visiting www.csrbuilding.com or by visiting their locations in Vaughn and Barrie Ontario.  You'll be glad you did.

This week on the Regional Roundup, we hear a two way interview with best-selling author and Paonia native, Paolo Bacigalupi, produced by KBUT. We also hear a feature on finding solutions to polarized politics, a recent forum at the Aspen Ideas Festival, produced by Aspen Public Radio. And we finish up with a presentation on evaluating media in the age of disinformation, produced by KSJD.

You'll often hear that some immigrants arrive in the U.S. with nothing. But a new cookbook, Cocina Libre defies that, brimming with recipes from Venezuelan, Ukrainian, Afghan and Ethiopian immigrants in Colorado. Then, why the Southern Ute tribe is suing Colorado over sports betting. And, Paonia author Paolo Bacigalulpi takes a break writing about climate change to focus on a fantasy novel, "Navola." Plus, preserving Dearfield, and finding friends through Denverite's Classifieds.

Marjory Wildcraft returns to the program to discuss news from around the world regarding farmers, protests and suicides. The attacks on our food supply throughout the western world has increased and farmers are at their breaking point. Countries in Europe and Australia appear to be under more stress than the United States at this time, but more red flags are emerging in the U.S. as well.

Tune in for a conversation that meanders through the difficulties of election year, to the joy of snacks and Anna's love of Paonia stone fruit.

This week on Everything Under The Sun, we interview Tara Seren about her immersive drum building workshop coming to Paonia in May.

The purposeful destruction of an  adversarial nation's agricultural infrastructure is an ancient military tactic.   This horrific strategy was employed by the Romans in their defeat of Carthage in 146 BC, Adolf Hitler's Hunger plan that starved 4.2 million Soviet citizens to death in World War II, and presently being war-gamed against Palestinian civilians. In recent years we have witnessed the mass destruction of countless farms and food processing centers that just happened to have caught fire, while unscrupulous administrators provide the final mop-up through unconstitutional regulations all the while rubber-stamping the use of Glyophosphates and GMOs for a perfect end-game trifecta. These all-too-common anomalic events coupled with the damning revelations that corporate networks are working in conjunction with congress and foreign actors serves as prima facie evidence that we are indeed under attack! On this episode we are blessed to host Marjory Wildcraft for a timely roundtable discussion on perhaps the most problematic issue that we now face in the U.S. and worldwide.  Marjory is the founder of The Grow Network, which is a community of people focused on modern self-sufficient living.

Marjory Wildcraft rejoins the program to discuss the very real situation with our food supply. She shares that food has been a weapon of war used against the people since the beginning of history. We discuss the population decline of the Native Americans in North America from 60M to 800K and how food and other means were used for that purpose. This is coming for us if we do not understand the threat and take steps to stop it.

In 1989, a month before his fourth birthday, the artist and photographer Trent Davis Bailey (our host, Spencer Bailey's, identical twin brother) lost his mother in the crash-landing of United Airlines Flight 232 in Sioux City, Iowa. Now 38 and a husband and father, Bailey is at work on “Son Pictures,” an ongoing series of photographs piecing together fragments of his family's past, including details of his mother's life and the relationship he was never able to develop with her. Leading him to take deep-dives into newspaper and family photo archives, and from Colorado to Iowa to the Adirondacks, the project serves as a microcosm of Bailey's intensely personal and place-based body of work, which continually seeks to unearth the tangled roots of his identity. This summer, Bailey's first-ever solo museum exhibition, “Personal Geographies,” opened at the Denver Art Museum, and this fall he will release the corresponding project, “The North Fork,” in book form. Bailey is also currently at work on “Son Pictures,” an ongoing series of photographs piecing together fragments of his family's past, part of which was recently published as a New York Times op-ed titled “What a Motherless Son Knows About Fatherhood.” Leading him to take deep-dives into newspaper and family photo archives, and from Colorado to Iowa to the Adirondacks, “Son Pictures” On this episode—his and Spencer's first formal “twinterview,” recorded on their 38th birthday—Bailey talks about what it was like to grow up as an identical twin; his unusual and decidedly dysfunctional upbringing; photography as a device for commemoration; and his deep pictorial explorations of the climates, geographies, and landscapes of the American West.Special thanks to our Season 8 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [00:28] Trent Davis Bailey[09:58] “The North Fork” [10:02] “Personal Geographies” at the Denver Art Museum[10:12] “What a Motherless Son Knows About Fatherhood” [10:18] “Son Pictures”[11:54] Paonia, Colorado[17:37] Elsewhere Studios[20:10] California College of the Arts[20:22] Museum of Contemporary Photography's Snider Prize[20:28] Robert Koch Gallery[22:34] The Sublime[22:38] Shaun O'Dell[23:52] The Hotchkiss Crawford Historical Museum/Society[26:42] Robert Frank[26:53] Stephen Shore[26:55] Joel Sternfeld[28:27] “A Kingdom From Dust”[28:32] The California Sunday Magazine[28:36] Stewart Resnick[28:49] “Who Keeps Buying California's Scarce Water?

This week, we spoke with Bart Eller, founder of Paonia Soil Company. They have been making growing mediums and soil amendments since 2012 in Paonia, CO, which is on the Western Slope of the Rocky Mountains. Bart is a serial entrepreneur, but hopefully Paonia Soil Co is the last company that Bart starts up. In this interview he speaks about his background prior to Paonia Soil and the family upbringing that brought him to try and save the world, one farm at a time. They have a unique process of creating their "super soil" which makes it have an abundance of biodiversity of beneficial bacteria and fungi. Their process is especially beneficial for preserving beneficial fungi that otherwise dies off in other production processes. Bart is also a large fan of Smart Pot containers and raised beds, and has had many custom Smart Pot raised beds designed for his own, and his customer's needs. Besides being sensitive to the needs of Mother Earth, Bart is a fun laid back guy and tries to inject humor into his company, and their products at all times.This was a really fun interview to do, and Bart is exactly the type of person that we love to interview. If more people had his outlook on business, agriculture and life in general, this world would be a much better place. We greatly appreciate his support over the years and his sparing of time to join us for the podcast interview.

— The simplicity of silence within natural surroundings quiets the mind while intuitive, and spiritual energy is refined. Valeria interviews Kent Tompkins  — He is the author of  “Finding the Balance...The Vision Story that led to A retrospective of images and stories from 1977-2022.” As a kid, Kent hung out extensively in nature in rural western Colorado. His family was consistently supportive of one another, encouraging adventure, diversity and the development of their own unique perceptions and self-sufficiency. He was also gifted with athleticism that paid his way through college. Currently cycling, ecstatic dance, yoga, core work, nutrition and integrative healing friends comprise his wellness lifestyle.  Kent grew up around photographers and healers and continues hunting down images, video footage and wisdom related to what creates a self-healing body and mind and related ponderings. Ansel Adams and other master photographers have poured knowledge and wisdom into him over the years as he continues his documentary photo work.  After finding his way to the Dine' (aka: Navajo)  reservation in 1978, he stayed there until 1991. While there, he photographed sacred sites/ceremonies by invitation, was learning and collaborating with elders, artists, healers and putting cameras in indigenous kids' hands. This collaboration continues today through workshop facilitation and documentary work. His rural roots and experiences within nature aligned with their teachings. His knowledge of physics (the various dimensions and teaching navigation and ways of healing through them), integrative healing, art, and the importance of connecting with one's deep sense of self, continues dove-tailing with his integrative therapy knowledge and expertise in an integrative therapy and wilderness-based practice. Kent works with individuals, couples and families. He loves putting cameras in kids' hands to better understand their world view as revealed up and down alleys and around a campfire.  The simplicity of silence within natural surroundings quiets his mind while his intuitive, and spiritual energy are topics for workshops and mentoring of healers whose “superpowers” are woven into their budding wisdom.  As a seasoned board licensed psychotherapist, he's maintained a private practice over the last 30 years in Colorado and New Mexico.  Kent currently resides in Paonia, CO, with his Kiwi adventure-based partner Jaya.  To learn more about Kent Tompkins and his work, please visit: kenttompkins.com and kentart.com                   — This podcast is a quest for well-being, a quest for a meaningful life through the exploration of fundamental truths, enlightening ideas, insights on physical, mental, and spiritual health. The inspiration is Love. The aspiration is to awaken new ways of thinking that can lead us to a new way of being, being well. 

In 2019, residents in the town of Paonia on Colorado's Western Slope faced a nightmare that is particular to the arid west. They turned on their faucets…and nothing came out. The aftermath is the focus of a new KVNF documentary called ‘Silent Taps, Paonia's Ongoing Water Moratorium.' Today on the news, we hear from the reporter who breaks down the water crisis in this rural western town. // Show Notes: // Photo: Inside Paonia's two-million-gallon water plant.

Pursuing Natural Treatment Alison's bout with cancer and how it led to her career in oncology nutrition How Alison discovered that she was not a good candidate for chemo, radiation, and pharmaceuticals Why Alison decided to identify and address the root causes of her tumor instead of pursuing traditional treatments Why our patients always have the power and sovereignty to advocate for themselves How we can empower our patients by helping them overcome fear The core clinical approaches that Alison's clients use to treat themselves at home Pursuing Natural Treatment Our guest in this week's podcast is Alison Gannett. She is a cancer survivor with an amazing story that led to an entire career in customized oncology nutrition. As a virtual coach, Alison uses her clients' extensive blood chemistry lab testing, Nutrition Genome DNA profile, and detailed health history to create personalized nutrition and lifestyle plans that meet their goals. In this episode of the FM Shift, Alison joins us to share her story and talk about how functional medicine has empowered patients to pursue the best treatment options for them. Oncology Nutrition In 2013, Alison started experiencing strange episodes of memory loss and other symptoms that eventually led her to the E.R. She was diagnosed with an aggressive malignant brain tumor, which gives the average person about six months. She tried to make changes in her life to see what differences it would make, and that is what sparked her interest in oncology nutrition. Alison forewent chemo, radiation, and any other type of pharmaceutical treatment because there was no known cure and everything the doctors had recommended was just intended to extend her life a bit. Instead, she decided to address the root cause of her cancer and reverse what was causing it. We Are the CEO of Our Health If you looked at the big picture of Alison's tumor molecular report combined with her personal DNA and lab work, it showed that she was not a good candidate for chemo, radiation, and pharmaceuticals. But at the same time, when Alison wanted to look into oncology nutrition and pursue natural treatment options instead, many of her doctors wanted to drop her as a patient. It is important to remember that we are the CEOs of our health. As functional medicine providers, this means that despite the immense pressure in pharmaceutical medicine, our patients always have the sovereignty and the power to advocate for themselves.

Episode #33: Wild Tending series / Nikki Hill and Gabe Crawford on re-thinking the concept of invasive plants     Episode #33 of the podcast features another conversation with Nikki Hill and Gabe Crawford recorded on the hillside at Small Potatoes Farm in Paonia, Colorado. Listen to episode #31 with Nikki and Gabe on the basics of wild-tending, here.       Gabe Crawford was raised on a small homestead outside of Durango, Colorado and started learning about plants from an early age. He got launched on his plant journey by studying with Katrina Blair at the Turtle Lake Refuge in Durango. He moved to Sandpoint, Idaho where he worked with Twin Eagles Wilderness School and Kaniksu Land Trust mentoring kids. Through this, he started naturalist training which opened him up to the world of wild tending, Traditional Ecological Knowledge and the ancient and intricate relationships between humans and ecology. Gabe spent time with Finisia Medrano learning about the ancient wild gardens of the west that were and still are tended by indigenous peoples and was taught how to tend these first foods and plant back for future abundance. He collects the seeds of native foods plants, fruit trees, berries and other exotics to plant feral orchards and wild gardens.     Nikki Hill can be found chasing wildflowers throughout the western US. She is not sure when her adoration of plants began, but they share a kindred spirit. Nikki earned a bachelors degree in environmental science and botany which led her to the field of habitat restoration nearly 16 years ago. Disillusioned by methodology that focused on eradication, she struck off on her own. She spent six years growing food and medicine, first as an urban farmer and then as a nomadic rural farmer, and co-founded Daggawalla, a seed and herb company. Since 2014, she has been exploring her feral roots as a wildtender, planting gardens outside agricultural boundaries. Her hope is to foster habitat resilience by sowing a living seed bank for the future, in a spirit of collaboration with the non-human world. Her website can be found at www.walkingroots.net. In this episode with Nikki and Gabe, we talk about: unpacking the common use and colonialist origins of war-making language when talking about 'invasive' and 'native' plants the political influences at play in the current narrative around invasive plants the relationship between migration and climate change the economic commodity associated with the 'war' on 'invasives' or 'illegal aliens' how even 'native' plants are called 'invasive' based on cultural and economic agendas informed by capitalism how the desire to protect sage grouse and sagebrush habitat is being turned against other native plants like pinon juniper forests how native juniper trees are treated as invasive and 'encroaching' because it is thriving during climate change and expanding it's range succession changing when the conditions change – a place for invasives scapegoating invasives instead of facing the massive fragmentation and devestation we've caused the environment in the past few hundred years the influence of bias on ecological and restoration research how and why people and other animals, birds move plant species including invasive species around considering deep time when thinking about what is 'native' or 'natural' or what the land is supposed to look like moving forward in time how awesome Russian Olive is! using 'invasive' plants as medicine how 'invasive' plants often mend and remediate damaged soil, water, air some ways to integrate Traditional Ecological Knowledge into invasive species interaction   Links: ‘Tending the Wild' by Kat Anderson Tending the Wild Broadcast special on YouTube Finisia Medrano on Youtube Gabe's instagram @plumsforbums Gabe's facebook page, where he occasionally share wild-tending info Nikki's facebook page, where she occasionally shares wild-tending info Nikki's website: http://www.walkingroots.net/ ‘The Failures of Farming & the Necessity of Wildtending' by Kollibri terre Sonnenblume ‘The Troubles of ‘Invasive' Plants' by Nikki Hill & Kollibri terre Sonnenblume, free zine download, or buy a hard copy in the store on Kollibri's website Support Gabe via Paypal for his wild-tending efforts: paypal.me/johnnyslug Support Nikki via Paypal for her wild-tending efforts: paypal.me/nikkiphill ‘Invasive Plant Medicine' by Timothy Lee Scott ‘Healing Lyme' by Steven Buhner A few plants mentioned in the podcast, and links for further study: Russian/Persian Olive Japanese Knotweed Salt Cedar/ Tamarix Kudzu/Kuzu   Support the podcast on Patreon to contribute to our grassroots self-funding of this project.  Support the Ground Shots Project with a one time donation: paypal.me/petitfawn    Our website with backlog of episodes, plant profiles, travelogue and more: http://www.ofsedgeandsalt.com  Our Instagram page @goldenberries Join the Ground Shots Podcast Facebook Group to discuss the episodes Subscribe to our newsletter for updates on the Ground Shots Project Theme music: 'Sweat and Splinters' by Mother Marrow Interstitial Music: ‘Nijidema' by Joe Hedges Learn more about the story behind Joe Hedges' piece ‘Nijidema,' which is one out of five pieces in a work influenced by Joe's time in a small village in China: https://joehedges.bandcamp.com/album/nijidema Extra banjo tunes by Gabe Crawford Produced by: Opia Creative

Episode #31 of the Ground Shots Podcast is a conversation with Nikki Hill and Gabe Crawford, recorded on a sunny day in Paonia, Colorado on the wild edges of Small Potatoes Farm this past November.   Gabe Crawford was raised on a small homestead outside of Durango, Colorado and started learning about plants from an early age.

Episode #21 of the Ground Shots Podcast This episode of the Ground Shots Podcast features a conversation with Alicia Toldi, who currently lived in Oakland, California. Alicia co-runs Piney Wood Atlas.  According to their website:  "Piney Wood Atlas is a collaborative project between citizen artists Alicia Toldi and Carolina Porras and was formed out of a desire to help spread the word about the magical world of artist residencies. Through a series of regional road trips, we travel across the country unearthing small, emerging and unconventional artist residencies. Visiting is essential in absorbing the atmosphere, embedding into the space as if we were residents ourselves. We share meals, conversations and experiences with facilitators and artists. So far, we have visited around 45 residencies across 15 states and plan to visit the whole country in the next two years, representing alternative residencies through annually printed regional guidebooks, online content, and workshops. Alternative residencies offer individual character, personalized experiences and room to experiment. Featuring these kinds of spaces allows us to connect creative thinkers with places where they can become visionaries, unlocking fresh ideas that only come from being in a new environment, and thus engaging in a symbiotic relationship between the artist, the residency locale and the outside world. Piney Wood Atlas' intention is to bridge the gap between residency databases and word-of-mouth, ensuring that attending a residency is an attainable, productive, and fun adventure for all."   We did this interview in Alicia's art studio in Oakland, California this past Spring after we both completed a Permaculture Design Course (PDC) at the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center in Occidental, California. I first met Alicia when I stumbled upon Piney Wood Atlas online. We have communicated online about the project over the past couple years and both decided to sign up for the Spring PDC at OAEC without realizing the other had also. It was a sweet surprise to finally meet Alicia. She hosted me a bunch this Spring as I came through the Bay area for interviews and meet-ups with folks. I appreciated being welcomed by Alicia and her partner and able to fit my big truck camper home in her tiny driveway by the freeway in the heart of Oakland.     In this conversation with Alicia, we talk about:   a little bit of the story of how Alicia co-found Piney Wood Atlas   the nature of artist residencies and how they can be designed in many ways, including their ability to be accessible to everyone   some of Alicia's favorite residencies featured in the PWA zines. So far the Pacific Northwest and the Southwest zines are out, and the Midwest themed zine will be out soon   adventures in road-tripping for the PWA project   Alicia's personal story of living in different places as an artist on the east and west coasts, and coming back home to the Bay area   a few of our post-permaculture training reflections   Alicia's relationship with spoon carving and making things   We're giving away one copy of the Piney Woods Atlas 'Southwest' zine to a Ground Shots Project Patreon subscriber.

When the local plastic bag ban ordinance took effect January 1, Moab City joined hundreds of municipalities across the country also veering away from single use plastics. "There's over 230 cities and counties in the United States that have also enacted bans - and two states," said USU sustainability professor Roslynn Brain-McCann, who led the local effort to ban single use plastic bags. "This isn't a new concept. I just think that we're ready to make changes…to improve our environment, because an unhealthy environment harms everyone's children." And sometimes those children speak out too. Today we have a story from our partner station KVNF in Paonia, Colorado. They report on a group of seventh grade girls from Ridgway who formed a group with the goal of banning single-use plastic bags in their hometown. It took a year, but the Ridgway Town Council recently banned the bags. Tune in.

This week I'm joined by Heather Martinez, a graphic recorder and facilitator, and a hand letterer who has skills to spare. We talk about Heather's path into visual thinking, and the road trip she took to see the country with her husband, and trailer, Flo, and how it's impacted her life and work in ways she couldn't have predicted. Finally, learn about Heather's upcoming course, Lettering with the Masters, and some great tools and tips.

First installment of the Hot Saddle interview segment. We were privileged to sit down with Brian Calvert, the editor-in-chief of High Country News in Paonia, CO. We discussed some important current events taking place right now in the American West, specifically the federal revision of Bears Ears National Monument, as well as some lessons learned from Brian's impressive career in modern journalism.
