On today's show, Alex Ball of Old City Acres sits down -again- with Jordan Schiebel of Middle Way Farm to discuss his newest project, Grinnell Farm to Table located in Grinnell, Iowa. We dig deep on managing a multi-farm food hub, Justins's sales in the farm and diversifying your food business to be more resilient. Jordan is a wealth of knowledge and someone I've really enjoyed watching as he's evolved his food business over the last couple of years.

In the 1970s, one of the leaders of the Waldorf movement, Karl Ege, wrote in his essay "An Evident Need of Our Times." "What we are founding here is a seed, the seed of a living organism. The organism is essentially three-fold, pedagogical, artistic, and agricultural, as reflections of thought, feeling, and will. Each needs the others if the whole is to flourish. All are interrelated. For young and old alike, this work together will create a place in which to become, in the true sense, a full human being."
Babies, today Mimi is speaking with Martin Ping of Hawthorne Valley Farm and Hawthorne Valley Association, which is, to call it the farm or an association or anything could never really appreciate everything that it is. Martin has been at Hawthorne Valley for more than 30 years. You will appreciate what a treasure he is just listening to him. He's one of those people that you feel immediate kinship with and I can't tell you how much I recommend just browsing the websites of the Hawthorne Valley Association, because you can then begin to appreciate how they have managed to really honor that vision of holes nested in other holes and the interconnection and interrelated nature of all of the work that needs to be brought within one organism for everything to thrive.

Andrew Adamski, or walkie talkie callsign gopher, is one of the farmer owners of Full Circle Community Farm in Wisconsin, the land of coops in the US. He came back to his generations old family farm in 2017 after college, along with his now wife heather, to not only continue the family farming tradition, but diversify both its production and membership. He talks about his returning to the farm, their simplified and flexible business structure, using what he learned about ecology to develop the farms ownership/membership model, and that you donβt have to have it all figured out to begin to include other members of the farm in the decision-making process.
Heather, his wife, is the manager of the Slo-Farmers Coop, a farmer marketing cooperative of eight small farms providing a free choice, direct to consumer CSA, and we get into how that evolved over time, took off during covid, and how keystone farms can leverage their production capacity to not only sell more produce, but make space for beginning and specialty farmers, as well.
They, and I mean the now five farmer owners of fun circle community farm, were awarded the marbleseed farmers of the year award in 2024. If your interested in hearing more about what they are doing, both Andrew and Heather will be presenting at Marbleseeds 2025 conference happening February 20th through the 22nd.

Hey everyone, it's Natalie and I am thrilled to bring you today my conversation with my neighbor Catherine Coverdale who is a partner biologist with the Xerces Society and NRCS. We talk about programs that NRCS and Xerces do for pollinator plantings and weather stations. And we talk about her research for her masters, which was on blueberries and spotted wing drosophila, which was cool because when I talked with Bernice about honeyberries, she was discussing the spotted wing drosophila. So it was neat to get to the biology of SWD with Catherine. I hope you enjoy our conversation and maybe even take advantage of some of these programs that are out there to help farmers with some of these ecological practices to encourage native pollinators and the like.

On today's interview, Alex Ball sits down with Jarrad Hearman of Capland Acre in Somerset, UK. Like many other beginning farmers, Jared made the jump to farming during the pandemic and has been working ever since to dial-in his operation and maximize his production. We dig deep on scale-appropriate crop selection, selling at multiple farmers markets, and using compost as a deep mulch in cooler by climates.
