1KHO 537: Do You Want Healthy Kids? Take Them Outside | Miriam Eriksson and Amanda Argyle, Argyle Acres


Listen Later

What if the key to healthier, happier kids—and adults—wasn’t hidden in a lab but buried in the soil beneath our feet? In this powerful episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Amanda Argyle and Miriam Eriksson of Argyle Acres Education Foundation share their deeply personal stories of transformation—through infertility, health crises, and radical simplicity—to show how reconnecting with nature and regenerative farming can revive families from the inside out. From raw land and baby carriers to community camps and chicken-processing days, they’ve built a space where kids witness the rhythms of real life, discover their resilience, and fall in love with the natural world.

Host Ginny Yurich guides a rich conversation about soil health, ancestral wisdom, and why death isn’t something to hide from kids—but a teacher to embrace. The conversation weaves science with story, beauty with messiness, and parenting with purpose. Whether you're new to farming or just trying to make more space for nature in your family’s life, this episode is a moving reminder: you don’t need perfection—just the courage to begin.
