In this episode Mary and Andrew sit down to interview Brian and Alexandra of Inspiration Farm to talk about their journey with their farm and permaculture, starting in 1994 when they moved to the land and named the farm, to their encountering Permaculture for the first time 12 years later. Throughout, you’ll hear how they create a thriving, viable, farm, on a little less than 9 acres, with perennials and annuals with an ever-evolving experimental blend of enterprises growing food, producing art, and teaching others. With this work, Brian and Alexandra are also deeply involved in their local and regional communities, drawing in like-minded people, supporting one another, and providing ongoing inspiration.

My guest for this episode is Sandor Katz, author of Wild Fermentation, The Art of Fermentation, and The Revolution Will Not Be Microwaved. If you’ve practiced any kind of fermentation and went looking for a recipe, reference, or just read about the wee yeasties and bacteria that transform our foods with their microbial magic, then you’ve probably read something by Sandor, and I recommend reading even more.

Today’s episode is a new interview with Michael Judd, recorded by Mary Marshall and Andrew Tuttle, of Edge Perma.

Ten years ago, in 2014, I traveled from my home in Pennsylvania and journeyed down to Michael’s family home and homestead to record my first in-person interview, ever, with him, meeting his wife, and his son Wyatt, who was still a babe in arms at the time. Since then, we’ve recorded multiple interviews together, he was a keynote speaker at the Mid-Atlantic Permaculture Convergence, and I’ve attended his Paw Paw festival.

If you’re working on the next steps of your journey, I highly recommend listening to Michael’s earlier conversations with me and hear more about his journey. You’ll find numerous useful insights that connect to the ones he shared today, that you can apply to your journey, wherever you want to go.
