Rolling into another year of spring activities! The TEAF podcast has always been about the intersection of community, fitness, and food. There is no better way to celebrate this than with the spring maple season. Sharing space with the trees, feeling the heart beat of the forest, carrying buckets, long nights of cooking sap, and celebrating life with friends. I am joined by my friend Kelly (my co-host on the WI BHA podcast,) Jeremy Solin for our third Maple Podcast, and by Chris Munson and her daughter Rio Greendeer. Chris and Rio share with us how maple season is done in their family with Ho-Chunk and Oneida culture.

I love this podcast every year and I hope it helps to motivate people to start tapping their own trees and we can all start carrying our own pocket syrups.

"This too is what it means to be a citizen of Maple Nation, having maple in your bloodstream, maple in your bones. We are what we eat, and with every golden spoonful maple carbon becomes human carbon. Our traditional thinking had it right: maples are people, people are maples." - Robin Wall Kimmerer
