If you don’t want to do farm, like all sorts of alternative things out there, or if you do want to do farming, just he has the Urban Farm, Bootstrap Farmer ’cause Mike and I were going through, what are we going to spend our check on?And we pretty much have to I’m 90% sure. Either invested in our business or it’s just going to go to income tax anyway. So we’ll each probably get a $600 stimulus check. So we decided we need a grow light. He needs, he wants that heavy duty plastic because twice as plastic grip through last year, and he’s just tired, it’s ripped through right now. He wants some of this heavy duty a four year or six year guarantee. And that’s what Brandon sells. That’s how he’s making his life.

I got to see Sarah when I went to my first AERO workshop back in 2016!Sarah Calhoun, founder of Red Ants Pants a company designed to make workwear for women out of necessity, Sarah needed pants that fit and would hold up doing outdoor work!Sarah, grew up on a farm in Cornwall, Connecticut where her grandparents had a dairy and parents raised Llama's in the '70's and '80's some of the oldest breeders in New England. Her mom grew some veggies but mostly had beautiful gardens that required Sarah to do a lot of weeding and picking of beetles to put in containers of soapy water.https://redantspants.com/She was working on trail crews around Big Sky Country here in Montana, when she decided to start a women's wear company. In search of a business plan, she found her self reading Small Business For Dummies in a Bozeman coffee shop and just happened to meet a mentor who did production and design for 20 years at Patagonia, who would eventually join her board of advisors. After a year, she decided she wanted to be in a smaller town, and having just read on of Ivan Doig's memoir, she decided to open up shop in his hometown of White Sulfur Springs back in 2006.For profit vs non-profitI asked Sarah about her board of advisors, and she explained that a company has a board of advisors that are like mentors who she goes rafting with and talks to about business, where as the Red Ants Pants Foundation which is a proper 501-C3 non-profit, has an official Board of Directors. The Red Ants Pants Foundation promotes women's leadership.Red Ants Pants Music FestivalAfter 5 years in business they decided to take things to the next level, and got the community on board and planned a concert to raise money for the Foundation, back in 2011 and to their surprise 6000 people showed up. They've had up to 18,000 people come over the years to see amazing guests including Charley Pride, Brandi Carlile, Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris, Taj Mahal, Dwight Yoakam, Wynonna Judd, Lyle Lovett, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Corb Lund, and Ben Bullington.Keb Mo'Heading into their 10th year, they've learned a lot, like the need to have specific staff on the operations team, running logistics, and managing over 220 volunteers. Sarah herself's biggest take away is self care, asking for help, not trying to do everything herself, which is still a challenge.Proceeds from the Music Festival support community grants for folks in Montana, projects ranging from:community gardenswelding women's helmetscommunity librariesbuying a mule for the only women's owned outfitter in the Bob Marshall -Broad diverse group of applicants.Educational ClassesThey also teach timber skills, hosting chainsaw and carpentry for women...

JM Fortier ~ Grower's & Co.Welcome to the Green Organic Garden. It is Wednesday, December 16, 2020, and I have the most amazing guest on the line, the world renowned gardener, he's going to rock us with his new venture Growers & Co.here today to talk to us isJM Fortier, welcome to the show JM! 1m 21sJM FortierWell, it's so exciting. I feel like there's fireworks coming out. Hi. I'm so happy to be there. Oh my goodness. Well, I am so happy to have you here and to talk about everything you have going on your new venture withGrowers & Co. your, I love the t-shirt that says small-scale farmers are changing the world. And I hope we're going to talk about that a little bit today and just, but I do have a ton of new listeners since the last time you were here. So just in case they were like, who is this? I don't know how they could, but if they are, do you, what, tell them a little bit about yourself. 2m 1sJM FortierSure. So, so people call me JM, so I go by JM and I started a small organic farm we're in 2004. So that was a while back. And then that farm, the fame to claim of that farm was that we were farming an acre and a half, which we still do today. And we use no tractor. We use hand tools and then we go to farmer's market and then we have CSA and we deliver it to the local food co-op and we've been able to make a living farming, this small piece of land for, you know, almost two decades now.The Market Gardener: A Successful Grower's Handbook for Small-Scale Organic FarmingAnd eventually I wrote a book called the market gardener, which described the strategies that we use to make the farm, you know, productive and also financially viable. 2m 48sJM FortierAnd the market gardener is now translated in 10 languages and it's sold over 2000 and 200,000 copies. And a lot of people know me for this, you know, they've read the book and I think it has helped them just figure out proper ways to start a small farm or just like learn new gardening, gardening practices, or learn about tools, new tools that they perhaps didn't know existed and how to use them. And so that was, that was kind of when people started to know a little bit of who I am, because I was promoting the book and people are reading my work. 3m 26sJackieMarie BeyerAnd so many of my guests who are market gardeners are following your steps. Exactly. And they're talking about their success. I mean, I heard about you from Joyce Pinson back, I think in episode 45. And she was just raving about you back then. And I immediately bought the bucket. My husband has poured through it and just we've put some of the things like he's desperately trying to build a pond and just, we just have a little mini farm. But 200,000 copies! I went to ghostwriter school this summer to learn how to write. I'm trying to write this book called Rockstar Millennial. And he said that like a self-published book usually sells 300 and a traditionally published book sells 2000. You are 100 times at 200,000 and that's because you are changing the world and teaching people, how

So I frequently refer to myself as the Organic Eater, but I don't often talk about the cooking I do. This fall I made plum salsa, tomato salsa, tomato sauce, a delicious squash soup and a fantastic apple pie filling.Plum SalsaI can't believe I don't have a picture of the plum salsa, but I do have a picture of the tree from July 21, 2020. I got the recipe from the Delish site from a post of 12 best plum recipes.Soy Ginger Plum Salsa Yum!I didn't have any fresh ginger, but I did have a container of crystalized ginger I had been adding bits of to my granola. And when it marinated in the salsa, it became all soft and added the perfect sweetness to the salsa.The fun part was I actually had jalapeno peppers which I usually don't have but they were leftover from the tomato salsa I made in September. I had one lime, and the first batch I made I didn't have cilantro but I got some the next day because that is key.I also used Bragg's aminos for soy sauce in the first batch I made and that was a big mistake. I don't have soy sauce in the house so the second batch I just left it out. I also didn't have sesame oil, but I think that would make it much more yummy.My plums were tiny so I used about 20 in each batch at least. But Let me tell you the longer it sat in the fridge the better it got, that being said it was so yummy it was hard to not eat right away!I baked the squash in a roasting pan on my woodstove first. I love this type of squash and I saved the seeds for next year.The squash soup I got from In Jennie's Kitchen, but of course I did a few things different.Since I had already roasted my squash in a pan, I started by sautéing a clove of garlic a tiny bit before I added the rest of the ingredients, stirring the whole time.I didn't have fresh ginger so I just used powdered ginger that I added along with the bay leaf, tumeric, and I used curry instead of coriander and cumin. I didn't have lime or red pepper flakes either.I like to top it with a dollop of fresh yogurt. Vanilla gives it a kind of sweet creamy flavor. And if I have some fresh cilantro I like to put that on top too.When I reheated the last batch I added some milk to make it creamer.Delish! I have to confess I didn't grow these squash but they were given to me by a dear friend who did indeed grow them herself.Homemade French/Steak FriesI usually love potato fans, but the other day, I tried making oven baked fries and they were so good!Apple Pie + Filling/Crisp?!The other
