Grounded in Maine

Adam Cohen is a wealth of knowledge about  many things, and I'm so happy that he is generous enough to share some of that! He finds a way to add agriculture to just about any educational subject - he built garden beds with his class, and taught CEA (don't know what that is? I didn't either, but he'll tell you about it in this episode). He grew gourmet mushrooms and is building his house. I feel so much smarter after this conversation! He verbally offered to help answer any questions, so find him and take him up on it!

I think that Terra Osman is going to change the game for people who want to eat local foods, and I'm so grateful that I had the chance to talk with her about it! Terra developed the Farmish app and website, so that we can  find local providers to support- how beautiful is that? Terra is a website developer who decided this option should be available to search for local foods easier, so she did it. CHECK IT OUT! Share it wide, so that people have a way to sell their excess, and others can find what they need!

Sometimes when you meet someone, you know it was just meant to be - Ranya Dube and I hit it off instantly when we met on Facebook a few months ago, and are big  supporters for each other. Ranya is opening her second sustainability-like business, called The Good Food Place in Squamish, British Columbia, a town of about 200 people, and she wants to support local food growers, and encourage her community to eat locally and seasonably - learn why by listening!

This is a longer interview, but I couldn't get enough of what Ranya was saying. When someone is so clearly passionate about their project, I'm a total magnet to that - it's also something that I believe in, so I wanted to soak up all of her wisdom while I had her! So much valuable info was shared, but my favorite memorable thing she said was so simple and also profound. "We need more collaboration and less competition." Mic drop. Done. Right? She and I are in the same groove on so many things, and supporting community through food is definitely one of them!

Please give Ranya a follow on Instagram here or here and be inspired!
Here is the website for The Good Food Place - so awesome!

Podcasting is so cool! I am so excited that I was able to have this conversation with Bill Yeo- he's so smart and interesting - there will DEFINITELY be more convos with Bill!
Bill is the Community person at LL Bean, which is probably in the top 5 (if not top 3) things people think about when they hear Maine mentioned - hunting, fishing, biking and skiing equipment and clothing - a real outdoors store
Bill built his own house TWICE - both with solar power - he said he's never paid an electric bill in 31 years! Listen to how this all happened!

Check out this link for tips how to get started with home efficiency here
