  • Inspired every time

    I have been inspired every single episode. I have been listening during every workout and every moment I’m in my greenhouse. I am learning to farm on my 5acre property in effort to feed my neighbor, feed my family, and strengthen the food system. When I came up with this learning farm (now a 501c3) the first thing that was given to me was the Market Gardener and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’m constantly learning and thinking and conjuring up big pictures that include so much of what the folks ... more

  • where farming and beauty always meet

  • Not just for market gardeners!

    Open your eyes to what’s going on ‘behind the scenes’ with food…! Food is SO important and taking back ‘control’ locally.

    JM is so down to Earth and says it how it is and I appreciate him and everyone he interviews for sticking their neck out and speaking up. True heroes of today!

    I’m only on episode 3. Not sure if there’s a bit of confusion as to climate change (or who/what is creating that…!) hopefully it’s more the individual he’s interviewing’s views…! So, take what you will from each epis... more

35: Eliot Coleman Legendary Organic Farmer | What Is the True Meaning of Organic Farming?
Q: Have you reached the top of the mountain yet?
Back when I was running rivers or when I was climbing mountains, the dullest moment was when you put your feet on top. There's nothing new to do except turn around and go back down. And this mountain doesn't have a top.
31: Is Our Agriculture On The Verge Of Collapse? The Urgent Need For Young Farmers | Sara Dent
Q: How real do you think the risk is that we could have a true catastrophic farmer shortage in a short amount of time in coming years?
We're in the last one to two decades of run down in farmers in Canada, with the population farming decreasing rapidly.

26: Seed Farming & Growing Your Own Seeds With Master Grower | Dan Brisebois
Q: Is the dream of an ultimate closed-loop farm realistic?
It's not the dream that I'm selling and while it's feasible to grow your own seeds, it requires a lot of work and specific varieties.
