Zack Farr is a third generation Florida farmer who watched working land get chewed up and paved over while everyone pretended it was progress. Instead of cashing out, he walked away from a corporate job and went back home to try to make land pay again. That path led him somewhere unexpected, burned citrus piles, stubborn plants, and eventually biochar. In this episode we dig into what biochar actually is, why it works, and how turning wood waste into carbon can rebuild soil, clean water, and keep land in production. Zack tells the real story, not theory, not grant buzzwords. … Continue reading →

Is it the best of times or is it the worst of times?  Perhaps it is just the dumbest of times?  I mean just look around you and ask yourself how we got here.  Just five and half years ago over half of America was hiding from the flu while building forts out of toilet paper and bottled water.  They were also chanting death cult slogans like, “stay at home, save lives” and “my mask protects me and your mask protects me” all while shoving untested vaccines into their bodies. Eventually that stupidity ended but today’s stupidity looks far worse … Continue reading →

Today we discuss a concept that is very old to me merged with a term that is brand new to me.  It is called Rebel Canning.  Rebel Canners are communities of people using traditional canning methods that gasp, ignore many recommendations by the USDA for canning.  These people however are not adult children.  The spirit in these groups is not I won’t do what you say simply because I want to be a rebel.  More I am a rebel because I can think for myself and your rules do not really make sense at all. But how could the USDA … Continue reading →
