The Backyard Naturalist is a podcast about anything and everything related to nature. This week's topic: Building healthier soils builds a healthier you. With us in the studio from Terra Flora Farm and Roastery are Lawton James and Sean Simpson. From their website, “Sean, Maggie and their friend Lawton are currently cultivating just under an acre on their farm located in Norwood, North Carolina. They are leasing nine acres from a couple who are the current stewards of a portion of land southeast of Charlotte. They believe in the mantra "Know Thy Farmer" and encourage anyone with questions about the farm or their growing practices to find them at the farm or at one of their two current markets: Matthews Community Farmers' Market every Saturday from 8-12, or Uptown Farmers Market every Saturday 8-12:30.” We should be thinking about where our food comes from. If it's picked green and it trucks 2500 miles and it's irradiated to boot, that just might not be the healthiest solution for us. Let's think about this very mindfully and see what we can do to change that. Connect with the Backyard Naturalists on the Web, Facebook and Instagram. Please visit and support our presenting sponsor, Backyard Birds at http://www.thebirdfoodstore.com/. A mecca for bird lovers and bird watchers, Backyard Birds is an independent family-owned business located in Matthews, NC (next to Dairy Queen), just southeast of Charlotte. Thanks for listening to The Backyard Naturalists. We hope you have a day filled with the wonders of nature. Get outside and take a walk on the wild side!

This is the latest installment of the Puff, Sip, Chat Show featuring Desiree Sylver of Drunk Chicken Cigars. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Desiree (along with Uncle Nearest Whiskey) as she educated me on her time in the industry.... all the good, the bad and the ugly! I could easily refer to her as a Sister of the Leaf but that would not do her justice... I prefer to call her a "Doctor of the Leaf" ... tune in and check out why!Filmed on location at Smoke City Cigar Lounge in Atlanta, GACelebrating the Cigar Community, Cigar Culture and the Cigar Lifestyle with people who also enjoy the Whiskey Life on one of the best, if not the best Cigar Podcast you will find!Episode Content00:00 Introducing Desiree Sylver03:55 Who is Desiree Sylver?05:30 Desiree on being a business owner 07:00 The Meaning Behind the Name “Drunk Chicken”08:45 Being a Black Female in the Cigar Industry 10:30 Biggest Challenge So Far11:30 Having the Personal Touch13:10 The Drunk Chicken Blends17:10 Desiree, the “Doctor of the Leaf”18:45 Why the Drunk Chicken Cigars are rolled in the USA?21:10 On whether being a female owned Brad hurt or helped her business?22:52 On properly managing the lounge humidor 25:15 Most important lesson learned 30:15 Where does Desiree see herself on the future?31:25 The Value of Integrity Help us to continue to make great content!

I have a story to tell. It's story of becoming a Mega Legend..... In Cigars! First off..... the AUDACITY and BALLS it takes to name your new Cigar Brand "Mega Legend?" My initial reaction was wow, that's a bold name! But then, I had the cigar and I'm not going to lie, it had me at "1st Puff". A incredibly creamy smoke, with a slight pepper hint with some complexities that are hard for my evolving pallet to nail but let's jut say that I could not put it down and enjoyed this stick all the way down to the point at which my fingers could no longer stand the heat! I then commenced to getting to know Jon Bateman and Todd Williamson, the founders of Mega Legend Cigar and quickly learned that they also have the tenacity, the smarts and the passion to live up to their name. Their brand and their smoke is about as consistent as they come and I can't wait to witness the journey; please join me in congratulating them on their recent launch!Check out the stick and check out the latest Puff, Sip, Chat Episode featuring Mega Legend Cigars!Episode Content00:00 Introducing Jon and Todd01:10 StickMan One Introduction05:00 Knowing the Right People07:00 On their Partnership in Business08:00 What it takes to make your business grow?15:40 How Jon learned about Cigars?20:00 Jon's Family Legacy of Entrepreneurship23: 55 Todd's Journey into leading the Sales and Marketing 27:00 Participating in the 2022 Atlanta Cigar Experience34:00 Making the time and Money InvestmentHelp us to continue to make great content!
