I'm really good. Thank you so much for having me. And yes, it's just after 4.30 in the afternoon here in Alberta. Yeah, and it's just after 5.30 here. And again, I tend to do most of my recording in the morning. So I'm programmed to start to say good morning. And I'm like, no, it's not morning. Stop it. It's funny how things go like that. You you get into a routine and a rut and... 00:59 But here I am throwing you for a loop already. So let's do this. I'm all good with that. And the only thing that I request is that we don't talk religion or politics only because I haven't and it can become really divisive and hurtful. And I would just rather talk about positive things like growing plants and feeding people. I love it. Those are my two favorite subjects to talk about, but I don't like the division and the the either. let's yeah, sounds great with me. Yep. And I just 01:29 I've come really close, Dawn. I did. asked one of your compatriots in Canada, how Canada saw America right now. And she was like, if I say something not okay, just edit it. And I was like, okay. And she was very, very diplomatic and kind. And we kind of talked around things for five minutes. And then I was like, okay, that's as close as I want to come to talk in politics on my podcast. And she just laughed. So worked out great. Okay. So. 01:59 Tell me a little bit about yourself and what you do. Yeah, so I'm Dawn from Dawn's dirt. If you're looking me up and I am a farm girl. was raised in the greenhouse industry here in Canada. So my parents had a 26,000 square foot greenhouse and they grew long English cucumbers and 02:19 In 2007, me and my ex-husband built our greenhouse my parents sold and we took over kind of my family business and we were growing long English cucumbers as well and we started, it was pretty tough. Farming is of all types and sizes, no matter what it is, is really hard. And so we ended up branching into tomatoes and peppers and then we eventually ended up growing 20 acres of garden and field crops and I direct marketed them. 02:46 everything that I grew to my consumers at farmers markets and online and things like that. So I was a vegetable farmer for many many years plus I had some chickens and some sheep. So that's who I was. Unfortunately a year and a half ago I had to sell and so now I'm getting into the whole online thing and if you give a man a fish he eats for a day but if you teach a man to fish he eats for a lifetime. So I'm teaching people how to 03:13 grow food in the spaces that they have. think everyone should be growing something in their backyard and I'm teaching people how to do it. So that's my new venture. Fabulous. And I agree on the teaching Amanda Fish premise. And I am trying, we are trying to feed our community too. So we are aligned on both of those points. Perfect. I love it. I think that we've lost a connection between our food, you know, back in the day, back 50 years ago, 03:42 Grandma had a garden, know, great grandma had a garden. Everyone had a garden and a few chickens in their backyard. And I just feel like we need to take society and shift backwards to some of that again, because it's so important for kids to know where their food comes from. so, yeah, I just think that's where we need to head to is to know that your carrots come from the ground and that, you know, eggs come from chickens. Yeah, they sure do. Weird, huh? 04:10 They don't come from a grocery store. mean, grocery stores are a building that houses items that we can eat. But at the end of the day, the farmer and the field and the sun and the animals and the earth, that is where our food actually comes from. Yeah, yeah. Yes, absolutely. It does. I am living proof of it. ate 04:37 butter crunch lettuce out of our garden on my taco last night. Oh, yum. Yum. And did you grow your tomatoes too? Well, we do. We do grow tomatoes. We do can tomato sauce. We don't can tomato paste. Long story. Haven't tried it yet, ...
