This week: We are focusing on our relationship with energy throughout our lives. Today's topic brings our conversation off grid with my guest Nick Wharton. Nick and his wife Kristin have both lived in Cook County since 2000. Nick moved here to be a Boundary Waters wilderness ranger for the US Forest Service after graduating from Northland College, Kristin moved here to intern at North House Folk School. They met and started a homestead east of Grand Marais and have been living full time on the land for about 12 years. Nick and Kristin operate Good Nature Farm, a diversified vegetable farm with a CSA, wholesale, and market sales. They have three kids—the oldest started college last fall, a 7th grader, and 4th grader. Listen in to the episode to hear about the family’s self-sustaining life off the grid! Learn more
