This week Warren's guests are Adam and Jenna Wall of Purple Pasture Homestead in Salmon Arm. Working on Jenna's grandparent's land, they started their homestead in 2019 while living in a 26 foot trailer. Now well established, Adam and Jenna are regulars at the Downtown Salmon Arm Farmers Market. Their goal is to be as self-sufficient as possible. They grow their own food, raise their own animals, do their own canning and baking and bring their delicious food to sell at the Farmers Market every week.

This week Warren's guests are Jade and Isabelle Shamen, Quoc Nguyen and Amelia Jensen, all members of the recently formed FRIES Society. This new organization in the Shuswap is dedicated to making available the equipment and infrastructure that local food growers need to establish their farms and help to rebuild our local food system. FRIES encourages using regenerative farming methods to protect our water, to rebuild our soil and to provide the local community with nutritionally dense foods. The group is coordinating a food equipment cooperative including farm implements, transport equipment and food processing equipment such as a grain mill. In addition the team is developing facilities for local food storage.

This week Warren's guests are Kevin and Joy de Vos of Foxtrot Dairy located just off Hwy 97B near Enderby, BC. Joy and Kevin have been running Foxtrot Dairy on Kevin's family land for decades. Now, they have opened Foxtrot Dairy General Store on the property and are offering educational tours of the dairy, local produce and dairy products, and their own farm raised beef. Kevin and Joy are long time 4H leaders and the family has been deeply involved in the community for many years. Listen in to hear about Foxtrot Dairy's latest endeavor and make a plan to visit Foxtrot Dairy soon.
