In This Climate

Gabe talks with Susan Anenberg of GWU about climate change, air quality, COVID and climate and other issues.

Many of us here in Indiana wonder how we can access local food as the weather gets colder and warm-weather plants go dormant. So, in three parts, we're asking folks near Bloomington how they prepare for and operate in winter.

First up, we sit down at Brambleberry Farm with Darren Bender-Beauregard to talk through his family's iteration of permaculture/homesteading, experimentation with unconventional crops, and how we can engage with the many systems of which we're part.

Check out our co-released bonus to take a tour of the farm!

If you haven't yet listened to our discussion with Darren Bender-Beauregard, we recommend you do that here! It provides context for Darren's relationship with the land, how he grows Andean crops in Indiana, the sorts of grants that help his family experiment and educate, and more.

Then, listen to this tour for concrete insights into how Darren and his family channel and encourage ecological abundance.
