Nick Ferguson joins me as we discuss how we would design a property to actually feed a community living on it. We hear so often, “I am going to get some friends together, buy some land and grow all our own food”. Most of these people are not vegetarians but seem to focus on wanting to grow vegetables, fruits and grains to “grow all their own food”. There is a better way to do this. Join Us Today as We Discuss. The problems with trying to feed a community or family with just a garden What silvopasture is and why … Continue reading →

Bobbie Parr, a community developer in Wabigoon, Ontario, transitioned from leading a Recreation Therapy department to building a resilient local food network. Amidst COVID-19 and maternity leave, Bobbie shifted her focus, recognizing the challenges in long-term care and the need for greater food security. With her husband and two kids, she has developed a local food business, a community production kitchen, and a food co-op, all while homeschooling her children. Her homestead lifestyle, mirroring her husband David’s childhood, emphasizes seasonal living, self-sufficiency, and a connection with nature. Their land provides an abundance of game, fish, berries, and wild mushrooms, supporting … Continue reading →

One thing I hear so many successful people in the food production world say almost every time one of them speaks is “grow at least some of your own food”.  The problem is the only solution they usually provide is something like, “even if it is just some herbs in a window”. Now don’t get me wrong, as you will see today I think growing some herbs is a great idea but I also see it as one and only one step in making a meaningful contribution to your diet and life though growing your own food.  What I tried … Continue reading →

I have been getting some questions about Permaculture lately and it has been specific to PDCs (permaculture design courses) in a lot of instances.  Mainly is a PDC worth taking and what do you really get out of it. This is where I may take some flack from some Permaculture teachers, I do not believe a PDC is right for many.   Here is why, a PDC is a 72 hour course, it is either rammed into 2 weeks in person or done over time online.  60-70% of the material is philosophy over techniques and tactics or tactics and techniques that … Continue reading →

The Moody family farms and homesteads on 35 acres in Kentucky. John Moody discovered more than a decade ago that his diet was killing him, with duodenal ulcers, seasonal allergies, and other health problems. So, the family began to transition to local foods and local food distribution. Eventually, John relocated his family to 35 acres of land to put his learning into practice. He is the author of a number of books, including The Frugal Homesteader Handbook and The Elderberry Book. He is the founder of the Whole Life Buying club and co-founder with Joel Salatin of the Rogue Food … Continue reading →

Episode-2575- Thoughts on Tactics and Tech for Changing the Global Food System

One thing we know is the current food system works, shocked that I said that?  Okay when is the last time you had money, wanted food and could not get any?  This is true in most of the world, people that go with out food do so from poverty not scarcity.  In fact billions of tons of good food it thrown away annually.  So when I say works, I mean the main stated goal of the managed Global Food System is produce enough food to feed the world.  It does that.  We must start there or no meaningful discussion about … Continue reading →

Just so guys there is a method to my madness here, two hydro shows in one week?  Yep so here is the reasoning.  As many of you know I consider myself a polymath and encourage you guys to work at that as well.  Here is a secret to making it happen, temporary obsession. It works like this, a new concept comes into your mind, you find it interesting and initiate an obsession with it.  Not the unhealthy kind that consumes your life, a short term obsession to learn as much as you can, as fast as you can and expand … Continue reading →

A few weeks ago a caller asked me about something called Kratky Hydroponics.  Now when you guys ask about something I have not yet heard about I look into it.  I will admit though I was highly skeptical.  It feels like today every other person wants to invent something, some new whatsitcalled method.  Now look I am all for innovation but so many new “systems” often seem like solutions in search of a problem.  I figured that is what Kratky was, bluntly I was wrong! Unlike most subjects that I do a stand alone show on I have not yet … Continue reading →

Today we take a  look at a subject we really haven’t gone into for a long time, container gardening. I know many listeners have very small yards or no yards and are regulated to growing things on a balcony. Containers though to me are for everyone, they short cut soil prep time, offer many advantages and can be used in a variety of ways that improve your production regardless of your land or lack thereof. Get ready and strap in, I am on fire today with information and resources, this is one of those shows that will overload and work … Continue reading →
