I had so much fun, and learned a ton from this conversation with Greg Peterson of the Great American Seed Up and the Urban Farm Podcast! If you've been listening for a while, you know that podcasters are great conversationalists, and can be very entertaining - Greg is no exception! Greg's podcast has about 900 (nine hundred!) episodes since the end of 2015!Greg has been on a mission since he was 15 years old to figure out how to fix the broken food system, and has been running the Great American Seed Up out of Arizona for several years; kind of like a buffet for seeds - thousands of people attend in person each year, to stock up on seeds. He says seeds are expensive to buy when you buy from a store, mostly because of the pretty packaging, so they simplify it, and you can buy in bulk. *You can also mail order seeds, FYI* In my head, I've been trying to imagine what the event looks like, to have bulk seeds for thousands of shoppers...The first soundbite I posted to promote this episode gave me chills - he said this: "I am the person on the planet responsible for transforming our global food system." WOW! And this is the message he hopes you will take away from this conversation: "The most important thing that we can be doing right now is figuring out where our food comes from and how to grow our own. And that starts with having seeds and knowledge to grow food." He also says that 20% of our gardens should include pollinator-friendly plants - that's a great piece to start with!You can find all things Greg Peterson at https://www.urbanfarm.org/ and https://greatamericanseedup.org/They're also on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/urbanfarmu?igsh=MXZpNzhmbzdrd3Nndg%3D%3DYou can send me messages(this is new!)!Support the showPlease follow Grounded In Maine podcast on Instagram here YouTube channel link is here You can DM me there or email me at amysgardenjam@gmail.com Website for Amy's Garden Jam is https://amysgardenjam.com/ (podcast has its own tab on this site!)

They conclude by encouraging contributions to support their educational efforts and thank viewers for participating.Our Guest: Don grew up in London and at age 16 spent 4 years being trained in horticulture through an apprenticeship and a college course.

Most of the natural world has been altered by humans in some way. Ecosystems that are dominated by humans or man-made structures, such as cities, can still provide meaningful and essential habitat for insects. Today, we are going to discuss research being done in various human-dominated landscapes to answer the question: how do we restore and conserve insects in these ecosystems?We are joined by Dr. Chelse Prather, Associate Professor and Environmental Biology Coordinator at the University of Dayton. As an ecologist, Chelse has worked with insect communities in forests, grasslands, and urban ecosystems. She has managed a variety of projects from understanding basic insect ecology, like what nutrients limit insect communities, to very applied projects, such as how the installation of solar arrays affects insect communities.---Photo by Matthew ShepherdThank you for listening!

In a recent interview on 'The Valley Today,' host Janet Michael sat down with John Fox, co-owner of Fox Urban Farms, to discuss the innovative urban farm he runs with his wife, Ann, in Winchester, Virginia. Not only is the venture a woman-owned business, but it also leverages state-of-the-art hydroponics technology to produce crops year-round. John passionately explained how Fox Urban Farms operates out of two mural-clad buildings located near Handley High School. The high-tech hub, equipped with advanced HVAC, plumbing, and computer systems, allows for controlled environmental agriculture (CEA). This means they can manage everything from light cycles and humidity to temperature and nutrients, ensuring optimal growing conditions 365 days a year. The heart of Fox Urban Farms lies in its commitment to the local community. According to John, the farm was designed with accessibility in mind, located centrally to serve as many people as possible. They accept various forms of payment, including SNAP and EBT, and even offer a 50% discount through the Virginia Fresh Match program. John emphasized that healthier food options contribute to a healthier lifestyle, ultimately reducing medical issues and benefiting the community at large. The conversation took a serious turn when Janet asked John about food deserts in downtown Winchester. John shed light on the fact that although Winchester has a range of grocery stores, including some lesser-known international and Hispanic grocery stores, there remains a need for fresh, local produce. Fox Urban Farms actively works to fill this gap by collaborating with local food pantries and ensuring their products are accessible to all. Janet and John also discussed how Fox Urban Farms is creating its own market. While originally experimenting with a wide array of crops, they've narrowed it down to what the market demands. By working closely with local restaurants, caterers, and even bartenders, they meet specific needs while minimizing waste. John revealed that the farm has also become a small hub on Saturdays, featuring other vendors and making it a community spot. Interestingly, John's journey with Fox Urban Farms influenced his decision to join public service. He recently got elected to the Winchester City Council after spending time on the planning commission. His firsthand experience with the challenges of urban farming motivated him to help make local governance more accessible and understandable for everyone. 'If you want to see changes, complaining on social media won't help. You need to get involved,' John stressed. In wrapping up, John extended a hearty invitation to the public to visit Fox Urban Farms, especially on their Saturday markets, and even offered tours for those interested in seeing the innovative farm in action. Whether it's through direct purchases or community involvement, John and Janet underscored that every bit of support helps in building a healthier and more connected community. Learn more about Fox Urban Farms on their website: https://www.foxurbanfarms.com/ or follow them on Facebook. You can visit them on Saturday mornings at 1001 S. Loudoun Street.

Sara is the founder and executive director of Food Strong, a non-profit connecting kids with food since 2016. Sara and her staff work with the Cleveland Municipal School District and other inner-city schools to provide hands-on learning experiences in gardening, nutrition, and entrepreneurship. Recently, Food Strong's mission to educate, empower, and cultivate health through fresh foods just got a significant boost. Community Greenhouse Partners recently gifted them a three-acre farm site on Superior Avenue in Cleveland's east side. The property includes a historic house, church, food forest, farmland, and hoop houses that Food Strong is transforming into its Superior Farm. This neighborhood hub will support food sovereignty, climate resistance, and community connections. An estimated $5 million is needed to realize her vision for the property, along with the help of thousands of volunteers and neighbors. This extraordinary project is urban restoration at its best, feeding bodies, minds, and souls. Join us as we speak with Sara about this project, the wisdom of kids, Food Strong's work, and ways you can help. Our Guest:Sara Continenza, Founder and Executive Director of Food StrongLearn More:About Food StrongAbout The Superior Farm Fix-Up ProjectDonate to Food Strong's Farm ProjectBecome a SupporterVolunteer EveningsFood Strong's ProgramsFollow Food Strong on Facebook and InstagramFollow us: https://www.facebook.com/ecospeaksclehttps://www.instagram.com/ecospeakscleContact us:hello@ecospeakscle.com
