- Organic Farming & Everything Blueberries - Episode #11
Years of experience and care go into producing an organic product bought in grocery stores today. And, for chemical farms, at least 3 years to revitalize the soil to an organic state.
To be considered organic, involves an intense, detailed process of rules, product standards, certifications, recordkeeping, and among a few other requirements, immense care for the land.
Joan and John have operated under an organic certification on their blueberry farm for over 40 years. Beginning their work in organic farming working with the Organic Growers of Michigan- one of the very first organic groups in the entire U.S.
As consumers, we might read labels at a grocery store, and choose to purchase organic products versus non-organic products.
But, often don't reflect on the story and attentiveness that went into making those products available to us.
Personally, for Troy, the journey into learning where food comes from, and the appreciation for those that grow it, began only a few years ago. And, with daily reflections, continues to slowly evolve into an understanding that he can then teach his kids.
Knowing all the intricate details of producing a blueberry might feel unnecessary. We can first learn to evolve our learning through reflection and gratitude of the foods we eat.

Company website: https://wyldjoy.com/1 hr 7 min - Social Anxiety, Depression & Regaining Control of Your Life - Episode #10 With Mark Metry
I felt different from others amidst times of hatred and racism, post 9/11, retracting in my shell-- not wanting to speak up or talk to anybody. A reflection, I discovered 10 years later in life to be understood as social anxiety.
A message shared from Mark Metry on our Wyld Farm show.
An inspiring story, of running a six figure business at a young age, becoming obese through poor diet- leading to depression and suicidal thoughts. Ultimately, regaining control through food awareness, mindset shifts, and doing the opposite of what he felt, at the time, like doing-- speaking up.
Our environments shape who we are, at all stages of life. And, as kids, we lean on others (friends, parents, teachers) for direction and understanding as we don’t know anything.
Staying quiet makes me invincible.
But, we learn to grow. We learn to associate with others that help us grow.
Self reflection, then, is the key to butting tendencies of our past to shift our environments for growth.
Listen to Mark’s full story.
Mark was invited as a guest to have a discussion on the growing concern of mental health amongst the farming community today.According to the CDC in an article published in January 2020, male suicide rates for farmers and ranchers showed a rate of 43.2 per 100,000 in 2016. This is in comparison to all other occupations for males of 27.4 per 100,000. In part, due to bankruptcy amongst small/mid-size farms (19% as of 2019).
