What do you know about seed collecting? Farming? Growing a garden? All of us on this planet are connected in different ways but one pivotal way is that we all NEED food. Some have more than others clearly and Amyrose Foll is all about empowering you to gain your knowledge of growing and seed harvesting and more through trial and error, because as Amyrose will tell you, "...the garden is one of our greatest teachers."

Amyrose Foll is actively seeking to dismantle the systemic racism in our food system and transform the regional foodshed to create community-driven systems based on collectivism, and respect for nature. Before becoming the Director of Future Harvest’s Beginner Farmer Training Program in 2021, and Program Director for the Urban Agriculture Collective in 2022 Amyrose founded The Virginia Free Farm, which works to provide free nutrient dense food assistance to those in need, and plants and seeds (free of charge) to community gardens, schools, tribes, and community-based organizations.

Amyrose is a U.S. Army veteran, former firefighter-paramedic, and nurse. She has a background in Biology & Healthcare, and Sustainable Agriculture, in addition to Master’s in Health Information Management, and Digital Marketing. She also holds certificates in viticulture & fruit tree production, poultry production, and woodlot management from Cornell University, and Master Cattleman through Virginia Tech.

The Good Foods podcast is hosted by Shardan Sandoval and it’s possible that you've heard my voice on a commercial here and there, particularly since I'm currently one of the many talented National Creative Production Designers for iHeartMedia and to date, I voiced and produced commercials that have aired from Hartford to Hawaii.

I created this podcast for Good Foods Grocery in March of 2023 and it is a joy to create this for you.
