What the Farm Taught Me About Waste
Food waste feels personal.
It’s money in the trash, guilt in your chest, and the quiet frustration of trying to do better.
In this episode of Eat Your Seasons, I’m sharing a real-life look at food waste—from forgotten pantry snacks and browning produce to a surprising homeschool field trip at a local apple orchard that completely shifted how I think about using what we buy.
We’re breaking down three simple principles farmers use to waste less—and how we can apply them at home without rigid meal plans, perfection, or overwhelm.
You’ll walk away with:
- A gentler way to plan for the food you already have
- Simple strategies to stop “losing” ingredients in your fridge
- A fresh mindset around sharing, storing, and actually using your groceries
If you’ve ever opened your fridge and thought, How did this go bad already? — this episode is for you.
