In this episode we zoom out from the micro (Will's maple counter, John's bullet journal) to the macro: bioregionalism! When it comes to practicing stewardship, scale matters. Who we build relationships with, how far we go to meet our basic needs, and where we draw the lines between "local" and "global" are vital questions, and bioregionalism can help us find answers.
We are thrilled to bring you this podcast's first interview! In this episode we talk to Adam Dusen and Sunghee Kim, the owners and operators of Hundred Fruit Farm where we took our permaculture design course back in 2021. They are skilled farmers and teachers who have learned to use their space and resources wisely. In this follow-up episode to "Mend Your Fences, Prepare Your Larder" we take a closer look at how the winter months can be a time of both preparation and restoration. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!

Despite the shocking sound quality (sorry listeners!) we persevere in our journey of stewardship with some updates on Will’s farm projects, John’s Philadelphia move, and the quest to be better stewards of ourselves.
In this episode we explore the liberation of limits, the challenges of building and leading community, and the joys of growing mushrooms and making compost.
This episode we are taking the podcast in an entirely new direction with a new name, a new logo, and a new groove. We get into that in the introduction, followed by a discussion of what we've been learning about and what we're working on, including sustainable construction in an urban context, farmer managed natural regeneration (FMNR), buying local, and some exciting projects at the Cauffman farm.
In this episode we round out the topic of stewardship through a more personal lens, namely, our Christian faith.
In this episode we continue the conversation from Ep. 8 and talk through how to build an ethic of stewardship into our personal lives and trace out some steps on the journey to get there.
In this episode we look at the historical and philosophical underpinnings of our modern global economy and begin to imagine a world oriented around stewardship rather than consumption.
In this third and final installment on waste we’re going off the script, shooting from the hip, and speaking from the heart about how we personally interact with materials and waste for better or worse.
Waste is mounting higher and higher, but there is still time to learn how to be unwasteful before the world looks like the opening scene of WALL-E. In this episode we explore the potential for regenerative market-based solutions to hit the brakes on waste.
In this episode we dive into... waste: why we make so much of it and how we can start to think differently about it in order to produce less.
More and more homesteaders are going into it as a team. On this episode we discuss the benefits of doing homesteading in community.
You’re probably picturing Little House on the Prairie, but as we discovered modern homesteading is so much more. It this episode we look at some of the reasons why people are re-designing their lives and going back to the land.
On this episode we discuss practical steps to start planning your homesteading venture, whether that’s in your back yard or your back forty.
Who would be crazy enough to attempt homesteading? As it turns out, more people than you would think.
