In this episode of Cloud 9 Online’s MediMindful Moment Podcast, co-hosts Judith Dreyer, Jeff Nelder, and Henry Edinger interview Craig Floyd, Farm Manager of the Giving Garden at Coogan Farm, part of the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center. Tenth-generation farmer Craig Floyd, talks about connecting people to nature through working in the soil and utilizing regenerative gardening practices.
Key Quotes:
● “This is not your normal garden. This is a regenerative no-till, no-spray garden, and the food is 80% better than anything you've ever put your mouth on nutritionally. So it's really good, especially for those people that are in need.” - Craig Floyd
● “To be out there in that field with people, on a hot and sweaty day, watching the dragonflies, harvesting lettuce, and taking it to the food bank and seeing the smiles on everybody's faces. Knowing that somebody was going to get some good lettuce today.” - Craig Floyd
● “You become one with Mother Nature. People don't understand the strength of the garden, and what the garden can do for us. Whether you're just a 73-year-old, 10th generation farmer, or whether you're a young teenager, with special needs, unable to verbally communicate, what a garden does for us to be in the garden, and to be growing and knowing that we're going to give somebody a meal.” - Craig Floyd
● “You need to get outside and volunteer in a garden or just put some parsley in the ground or something. Do something with the soil. You know, we are 90% better bacterial cells, what do you think the soil is? I mean, we are the soil. It just does so much good for us. You've got to get out in nature, people. Take your shoes off. Just enjoy it.” - Craig Floyd
