Cultivating More Than Plants: The Urban Farmer's Tale With special guest Francesca Dote, Buona Fortuna Farmwww.BuonaFortunaFarm.comThere's magic in the soil beneath our feet. Have you felt it? That gritty, rewarding connection as you plant something small, nurture it with care, and watch it flourish? Urban farming is more than a sustainable way to grow—it's a profoundly personal, rewarding lifestyle that brings joy not just to you but to your community. And, yes, it can even grow into a small business. What if I told you that the rows you plant today can plant seeds of joy in others tomorrow? Sharing what you have sowed—whether it's a head of fresh garlic or jars of home-canned preserves—not only deepens your connection to the earth but also to the people around you. It's the love of the toil and the work that makes farming one of the most fulfilling laborers' callings. __________________________Marty Jalove of Master Happiness is a Success Coach, Business Consultant, and Marketing Strategist that helps small businesses, teams, and individuals find focus, feel fulfilled, and have fun.

Justin O'Brien was one of those in the online gardening world that welcomed and embraced us. So it's an absolute treat to get the man himself behind the microphone to chat all things gardening. Perhaps better known as his Instagram alias of Urban Farmer, Justin O'Brien has been gardening in some form since he was a kid, and was an active member of the Camden Community Garden for nearly a decade, seeing it through the floods of 2022., Justin and his wife Chantelle purchased their current home nearly 3 years ago, and Justin documents the garden transformation, sharing plenty of useful tips and lots of laughs, as he creates a home for his veggies, his chickens and his family. Justin is also a fiercely competitive gardener and may or may not still be touchy about last year's failed competitive pumpkin growing.  But before we get to that we're drinking a classic - Campari and soda.  We're utilising Jac Semmler's succulent growing tips, we're loving Hannah Maloney's The Good Life, Maddie hard recommends Maggie McKellar's Graft. We're talking Organic Gardener Magazine, chimmichuri, putting up jute netting, and making the most of the spring rain thanks to a well-timed installation of a new gutter and tank system. Hurray! Find us on Instagram @avantgardeners.podcast. And pretty please share our podcast with a friend of yours and / or rate and review us wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks for being here :-)

In this episode, I speak with Chris Corkery, the founder and CEO of Hundred Acre, who shares his journey from being a chef in New York City to starting a vertical farm in Milwaukee. Chris talks about the early mornings at farmers' markets, the respect he developed for fresh produce, and the realization that led him to bring farming into urban areas. His passion for food and community shines through as he discusses the challenges and rewards of creating a year-round urban farm that not only provides fresh produce but also creates jobs and educational opportunities.Chris also opens up about the personal experiences that shaped his love for food, from cooking with his mom as a child to working in high-end restaurants. He reflects on the importance of community in his work and how his farm aims to serve and connect with the local area. Chris's candid insights into the realities of running a vertical farm, the obstacles he faced, and the innovative solutions he implemented make this conversation both inspiring and informative.Join us as we explore the intersection of food, community, and sustainability with someone who's truly passionate about making a difference.Thanks to Our SponsorsBio520 Key Takeaways5:52 Chris Corkery's Culinary Journey12:01 Running a Farm 15:02 The Restaurant Experience18:24 Community Building Through Farming23:59 Communicating Value in Indoor FarmingTweetable Quotes"The first thing that occurred out of that was really the understanding and respect for the products themselves, because you were trying to get the best, and in order to do that, you had to learn what was the best, and you had to try to get it before someone else did.""Food inherently brings us together.

In this episode we're learning about growing microgreens and herbs in a hydroponic vertical farm. Andrey Salazar and Guillermo Borges from ALLPA Vertical Farms in Calgary, Alberta, share the story of how they became urban farmers. As they explain, it takes a lot of hard work, some trial and error, specialized technical expertise and a little luck. Vertical farming is the practice of growing crops in vertically stacked layers. In the ALLPA farm, stacks are 14 feet high. The environment is carefully controlled for optimal temperature and light, and the plants are fed exactly the nutrients they need for growth, nutrition and amazing flavour. This episode first came about when Erin bought ALLPA living basil at the local market and declared it the best basil she had ever eaten. The pesto from this basil is absolutely fantastic! We've since been adding microgreens into our sandwiches, on burgers, as side salad, you name it. Any place you'd normally add lettuce (think tacos or wraps), microgreens will give more flavour and extra nutrition. The radish microgreens may be our favourite - they're spicy and add a nice kick to everything. In the second half of the episode we give you some ideas for incorporating microgreens into your meals. If you're in Alberta, please give ALLPA a try (check their website for locations). But wherever you happen to be, we encourage you to source a local grower of microgreens. You won't be sorry!   Episode Links~~~~~ ALLPA Vertical Farms Website~ ALLPA Products : Where to Buy~ Egg Salad with Radish Microgreens~ Beef & Baby Bok Choy Stir Fry~~~~ Three Kitchens Podcast - a home cooking showCheck out our website where you can listen to all of our episodes and find recipes on our blog: www.threekitchenspodcast.comYou can support the show with a small donation at Buy Me A Coffee.Want to be a guest?

On today's show, urban farmer Curtis Stone explains the work he does with FREEDOM FARMERS helping people become self-reliant, shares why he's optimistic about the 'apocalypse' as more and more people are waking up, and comments on the Great Reset, the flat earth debate, terrain theory vs. germ Theory and more. GUEST OVERVIEW: Curtis Stone is a farmer, author, speaker and consultant. His area of expertise is in quick growing, high value annual vegetables for direct consumer market streams. His book, The Urban Farmer demonstrates organic intensive techniques with a focus on business and systems to streamline labor and production. He offers a new way to think about farming. One where quality of life and profitability coexist. Curtis' farm, Green City Acres is located in Kelowna, BC, Canada and was established in 2010. In an eight-month growing season, the farm generates over $75,000 per year on only one third of an acre.

The farm has been recognized internationally, as flag ship example of how profitable and productive urban agriculture can be.

The city of Detroit in the United States has a lot of vacant space – as much as a quarter of residential, commercial and industrial sites lie unused today. In this programme Ruth Alexander meets the people who are growing food in their neighbourhoods, creating urban farms and community gardens where houses once stood. Mark Covington is the founder of Georgia Street Community Collective, and Tyson Gersh is the co-founder of the Michigan Urban Farming Initiative. Ruth learns why so much land stands empty from the city's official historian Jamon Jordan. Jamon explains the role of the automobile industry in bringing jobs and people to Detroit in the early 1900s, and the circumstances that led to decades of population decline, job losses and debt for the city government, culminating in bankruptcy in 2013. Tepfirah Rushdan is the newly appointed, first Director of Urban Agriculture for the city of Detroit. She explains how she hopes to bring urban farmers and politicians together to find a way for food to be grown alongside new developments as investment returns to the city. If you'd like to contact the programme you can email thefoodchain@bbc.co.uk Presented by Ruth Alexander. Produced by Beatrice Pickup.

In this episode of Voices from the Field, urban farmer Pasha Angelle of Healing Den Farms in Houston, Texas, discusses how farming realities led her to shift gears and produce microgreens literally in-house rather than crops out in the field in the brutal Texas climate.

Recorded on August 31, which has been designated by the United Nations as the International Day for People of African descent, host Sheree Williams connects with Canadian urban farmer Anan Lololi to talk about his work around Black food sovereignty in Toronto. Born and raised in Guyana, Anan moved to Toronto as a musician, playing for one of the city's top reggae groups, Truths & Right, before deciding to go back to school and study business. Anan soon found himself in the food world, founding Afri-Can FoodBasket in 1997 with a new passion for working to help create food-secure communities through an equity lens. He is now a research associate with Ryerson University's Centre for Studies in Food Security and launched an international food sovereignty initiative in his home country of Guyana.

758: Jon the Farmer Larson on Seed Sharing in SeattleSpreading seeds in the local community In This Podcast: How do you start a farm? You quit your job, become a stay at home dad, and convince your neighbors to let you use their yards to grow food. Well that is how Jon the Farmer did it. He now farms over 20 yards outside of Seattle, connects the other food growers in the area, and creates and delivers his own CSA boxes to his clients. OH yes and he periodically buys a Seed Up In a Box and distributes open pollinated seeds to his community! Jon is a husband and father that to this day cannot keep a house plant alive! Initially inspired by Ron Finley's TED talk and Urban Farmer, Curtis Stone – in 2018 Jon and his wife (Dawn) manifested Jon the Farmer – Urban Farmer. The business grew organically from three small backyard locations to 20 growing locations in the city of Seattle.Jon the Farmer serves 30 households with weekly CSA share, and contributes to two food banks, all while supporting small farmers with connection to distribution. But the love is in the encouraging of home gardeners to become part of their own food revolution by participating in programs like the Great American Seed Up. Jon & Dawn now grow nutrient dense produce with organic principals and sustainability at its core, on ¼ acre farm on the outskirts of Seattle.Visit www.urbanfarm.org/jonthefarmer for the show notes and links on this episode!Visit www.GreatAmericanSeedUp.com for your own Seed Up In a Box.Need a little bit of advice or just a feedback on your design for your yard or garden?The Urban Farm Team is offering consults over the phone or zoom.

In today's episode, hear Lynn Byczynski talk about founding Growing for Market Magazine over 30 years ago in 1992. We'll talk about how Lynn's background in writing, combined with the lack of information about market farming in the early 1990s, pushed her to start Growing for Market. While researching solutions for issues on her farm in Lawrence, Kansas, she started publishing GFM as a way to connect market farmers to each other and hard-to-find information. We'll also hear about her book, The Flower Farmer, passing the magazine on to current editor Andrew Mefferd after 24 years of running the magazine, and how her family came to run Seeds From Italy.

My guest this week is Jamie Hwang, city planner for Los Angeles City Council and creator of Urban Farmers' Almanac which is a free, community-sourced digital resource guide for gardening, sustainable living, and supporting urban farms & independent makers in LA who also believe in circular, local economies, building communities, and food justice.Her passion for urban planning made her realize how precious our environment is. And while in LA, they need to build more housing quickly to address homelessness as the most urgent humanitarian crisis, she believes they can also simultaneously address climate change as well. For her, true courage is trying ideas out even when you know you may fail. It's hard to begin a journey not knowing if you'll succeed, and it's even hard to start if you know you're likely to fail. But when you take a leap, you learn new things, and those lessons add up to successes in the long run. The trick is to realize you never really "finish" learning. Jamie shows us that wherever we live we have the opportunity to take sustainable living into our hands and create places where we feel more in tune with the planet. As a result of my conversation with Jamie, I am now transitioning my allotment to a food forest using permaculture techniques.You can find out more about Jamie's work at shegrowscities.com And follow her on Instagram @shegrowscities Join Lou on LinkedinFollow her @brave_newgirl on Instagram and get her books Brave New Girl- How to be Fearless, FEAR LESS and her Internationally Bestselling book DARE TO SHARE on Amazon or Waterstones or Barnes & Noble.

In this episode, Curtis Stone, whose farm has been internationally recognized as a flagship example of profitability and productivity for urban agriculture, shares wisdom from building an off-grid homestead for his family. He also describes his journey as a truth seeker, which started long before he even became a farmer. He details the new life he created as a result of standing up for that in which he believes. Topics covered in this interview: Curtis shares his story of the legal process of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency “trying to shake” him down on his farm, and how they backed down after he said he would charge them a consulting fee for spending time visiting to review it.  A cultural renaissance happening in the rural areas, in the small communities, with a new breed of entrepreneurs developing. The importance of standing up for truth, even if not for yourself, but for your children. Curtis' goals of being in control with his homestead: food, water, energy and shelter. The awakening of the past two years, with more people becoming conscious of what's going on, and things becoming easier and easier as a result.. Pattern recognition of applying permaculture. Curtis' faith journey from being an atheist to now believing God is in everything, with AI drawing people away. The book, The Law of One, about cycles in life. Feeling in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration, to move beyond ego. “Unschooling” as a way Curtis' children are learning at home. Jim shared a private school he is creating to build self-reliance, starting with learning how to grow food. Curtis' process of going from no money and raising funds through a bike tour, to how he built a profitable “scalable” farm, tracking it in his book, The Urban Farmer. (https://www.amazon.com/Urban-Farmer-Growing-Profit-Borrowed/dp/0865718016) A glimpse of Curtis' farm, his three greenhouses, hot house, and benefits of growing food during winter.   Curtis Stone is an author, farmer, homesteader and father.  His book, The Urban Farmer, demonstrates organic-intensive techniques with a focus on business and systems to streamline labor and production. He offers a new way to think about farming, one where quality of life and profitability coexist. Curtis' farm, Green City Acres, is located in Kelowna, BC, Canada and was established in 2010. In an eight-month growing season the farm generates more than $75,000 per year on only one-third of an acre. This is done by specializing in a select group of high-value, quick growing crops that allow for multiple plantings in the same beds as well as calculated intercropping strategies. The farm has been recognized internationally, as a flagship example of how profitable and productive urban agriculture can be. In addition to spending the first twelve years of his career developing profitable systems for small farms, he has spent that same amount of time exploring solutions for freedom within the prison matrix in which we find ourselves. He has developed a 40-acre, off-grid homestead with his family which he has been documenting at https://fromthefield.tv and YouTube.   Follow Curtis: Website: https://fromthefield.tv YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/UrbanFarmerCurtisStone  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@offgridwithcurtisstone Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fromthefieldtv   To learn about his courses: https://freedomfarmers.com/   Food Forest Abundance: Website: https://foodforestabundance.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FoodForestAbundance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/foodforestabundance/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/FFAbundance LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/food-forest-abundance/   The Jim Gale Show Podcast: https://linktr.ee/jimgaleshow   Sponsored by The Weston A.

In today's deep dive, we’ll hear how urban farms can take blighted vacant lots and turn them into green space that provides food for neighborhoods. But farmers often struggle to get the land they need.

Many Midwest cities have an abundance of vacant land. Urban farmers often have a difficult time acquiring it, either from private landowners or city-run land banks.

Urban farmers are trying to buy vacant lots for their farms to bring fresh, healthy food and green space to their neighborhoods, but they face challenges in acquiring that land.

With the recent news that Mike Aldridge was talking his Mid City Smash Burger to Bend, we felt it appropriate to bring back our conversation with Mike about the origins of Mid City. ORIGINAL POST: Chef Mike Aldridge has been on quite a career and personal journey over the past couple of years. Mike, a native North Dakotan, has cooked in some of Portland's well-known restaurants, including Urban Farmer, Imperial and Headwaters, among others. He became chef at the coastal restaurant, Salmonberry Saloon in 2017 and garnered lots of press for making hay in a region not known for great dining. After leaving there, he started his own pop-up, Ope, in Portland, with the goal of opening up a place near Mt. Hood, where his heart as a winter enthusiast had always drawn him. His love of New Orleans drove him to expand his horizons there in early 2019, but when the pandemic hit in 2020, his plans were derailed, as restaurants struggled through yet another calamity in that city. To make ends meet, he started making burgers at home and offering them to friends and neighbors. Before he knew it, he was sold out each time he put his burger party together. Now, we talk to Mike about his adventure back to Portland, and the opening of Mid City Smash Burgers as a food cart. Mike talks about his plans to expand that business and realize his dream of a brick and mortar restaurant on this episode. @midcitysmashburgers on Instagram Right at the Fork is supported by: Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com RingSide Steakhouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com

A few years ago Vishu Nath was leading the kitchen at Urban Farmer, a restaurant concept at the snazzy new Westin Downtown Cleveland that was known for its local sourcing, quality steaks, to-die-for charcuterie and a killer brunch. Now, he leads the food service operations for Delaware North at Progressive Field where he's focused on providing variety and quality to 10,000 guests or more each game day and making sure the venue's special events, suites and team catering are running smoothly. He enjoys the change and really likes crafting some of the new ballpark food concepts that fans crave, like the popular BBQ pork and Mac and cheese waffle cone. We talk about some of the new foods this year and just how many hot dogs he has ordered so far and he hints to some of the things they are working to introduce next season. If you are a fan of ballpark food, I also share what some of America's other popular ballparks are serving their fans.

Co-hosts Sarah Bakeman and Soraya Keiser talk about each others' Human Solutions stories. And the stories behind the stories.Sarah interviews Bethel Art Professor Jeff Wetzig about his sustainable-themed art and his sustainable lifestyle in the Wisconsin woods. Soraya talks about activist and urban farmer Melvin Giles, known around the Rondo and Frogtown neighborhoods as Peace Bubbles. The student journalists talk about what they both learned in the field, such as how to get lost in someone's story by spending time listening to them, humility in servant leadership and how to clean a shed. Listeners can find Human Solutions here, or a print version at nonprofits or businesses in the Rondo or Frogtown areas of St. Paul. Special thanks to our sources for these stories.
