Here, your insatiable curiosity can feast upon good food. Here, a good story only germinates in deep topsoil. Here, you'll get some questions answered you've always had and learn about others you never knew existed. I started this podcast on a shoestring budget in the basement of my 1950s farmhouse during my early days of farming from March 2019 through March 2020. The older episodes sound like a time capsule of pre-Covid urgency that rings still true today. I restarted this podcast three years later, in March of 2023. There is still so much I have left to say. And, we're losing 2000 acres of farmland a day to development or abandonment. The average age of farmers is only going up. And, the effects of climate change are only going to get stronger. If you're like me, you love this planet. You want to preserve it for future generations. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and we must be the change we wish to see in the world. Listen to the old episodes, but stick around for the new ones.

I decided that the content fit nicely into the parameters of "real food" we set for this podcast, so I wanted to share it with you. I heard many years ago that if Jesus instituted communion in 2019, we would probably be drinking soda and eating pizza. I disagree. I think that Jesus chose bread and wine because they communicated something very specific about himself. I think bread and wine teach us about permanence and impermanence. We will dive into the history of 1st century near-eastern bread-making and winemaking in this episode, so hold on tight.
