This episode is a deep conversation about traditional foodways and how food is so much more than calories. We explore how eating seasonally, preserving food, and building relationships with the land and each other can help restore our health, culture, and sense of belonging. From wild fermentation, to foraging, to regenerative land practices, this episode reconnects us with the flavors—and meaning—of food.
