  • Organic Seed Breeding with Will Hazzard

    Organic Seed Breeding with Will Hazzard
    2024/12/23
    In this episode, we’re digging into organic seed production. Seed saving and breeding are all the rage in the flower farming world at the moment, which is an exciting way to dive even deeper into the world of flowers and get even nerdier. And we all love getting nerdier, don’t we? :-) Today's guest, Will Hazard, is the zinnia breeding project lead at the University of California, Davis. Through the SCOPE program -- which stands for Sustainable Crop Production and Enhancement, Will and his team of fellow research students have been breaking new ground in flower breeding that benefits both the environment and future generations of farmers. In particular, they’ve honed in on zinnias to breed for better stem length and disease resistance. In this conversation, Will unpacks the challenges, the innovations, and the incredible potential of this vital field of study. Mentioned in this Episode: UC Davis SCOPE Project Video demo of saving zinnia seeds properly UC Davis Zinnia Bulletin 2024 UC Davis Instagram (with lots of zinnia breeding photos) Tips for Getting Involved in Organic Seed Breeding Podcast with John Kempf and Dr. James White discussing seed biomes Email Will directly at hrwilliam@ucdavis.edu WANT TO LEARN MORE?

  • Feeding Our Own Biomes with Functional Medicine

    Feeding Our Own Biomes with Functional Medicine
    2024/12/13
    Welcome to Season 5 of No-Till Flowers! It's good to be back!! We’re starting off with a fairly personal episode as I share what’s changed for me and my health in 2024. This past season was my 17th season farming and selling flowers. There has been a lot of wear and tear on my body, mind and spirit along the way. I would wager heavily that no small business owner understands what they are signing up for at the beginning. Or even many years into it. The first 10 or so years are just holding on for dear life. The highs and lows of this rollercoaster ride lurch your emotions and mind all over the place. For too long, we define success as making a sale and making a customer happy. In most cases, we outright forfeit our own well-being. At least that certainly was the case for me. When our bodies are under chronic elevated stress and we’re not eating well (which pretty much describes every farmer), our internal ecosystem starts to break down. Our bodies host trillions of microbes that that make us surprisingly similar to soil biomes. In this episode, we learn about how to better support our personal gut biomes so we can better support our farms and larger communities. My guest today is Susan Brown, a functional medicine practitioner I've worked with over the past year to improve my own biome. If you’d like to work directly with Susan, her website is https://www.nourishwithsusanbrown.com/ Find a functional medicine practitioner near you with this site: https://www.ifm.org/find-a-practitioner If you’d like to learn more about supporting your gut biome and supporting your body as a whole, here are a few links to podcasts that can help you learn more: Dr. Zach Bush interview on Feel Better, Live More Podcast Dr. William Li interview on Feel Better, Live More Podcast How to Control Blood Sugar on Feel Better, Live More Podcast The Dr. Hyman Show Susan mentioned a supplement, Ion Biome, made from ancient soil. Here’s the link to that. Please note that I have not tried this supplement personally so can not speak to its effectiveness. Other Supplements she mentioned were: Cytozyme-AD for adrenal support Magnesium glycinate LMNT for electrolytes and magnesium Vitamin D3 K2 (remember to eat some fat at the same time you’re taking this one – like an avocado) Here’s a recipe for a quick and healthy meal you can take into the field with you: CHOCOLATE CHIA PUDDING - 1 can of unsweetened full fat coconut milk (Try Native Forest brand) - 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (Try SunWarrior brand if you don’t have a favorite already) - 6 Tbsp chia seeds - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 1 pinch of sea salt - dash of cinnamon (optional) Mix everything together. Use an immersion/stick blender to get it all really combined for a smooth creamy pudding. Divide out into glass jars or other containers you can grab on the go. Keep cold. Can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. When you're ready to eat, top with fresh berries and/or shredded coconut. Why is this recipe so good for you? Coconut milk is a superfood that heals and supports for your gut microbiology. And all the good fat in it balances your blood sugar levels so your energy is stable throughout the day (no more sugar crashes!). Chia seeds, also a superfood, have tons of fiber and omega-3. The protein powder helps your muscles recover from fatigue faster. The sea salt adds some micronutrients and electrolytes. And the fresh berries on top add more fiber and antioxidants. Plus it's just dang yummy! Would you like more recipes and a chance to connect with others who have experiences similar to yours?

  • Tips for Wholesale Flower Sales with Scott Shepherd

    Tips for Wholesale Flower Sales with Scott Shepherd
    2024/04/03
    We don’t typically dive into business topics on this podcast as I like to keep the focus on regenerative growing practices. But today we’re going to go off theme a bit for a special guest. Many of you already know Scott Shepherd, the host of The Flower Podcast. Scott has such a unique position in our industry. He studied horticulture under the likes of Dr. Allan Armitage. His day job in the three decades since has been working in sales at wholesale houses, first in Georgia and now in Tennessee. In that role, he’s touched every facet of the global import market. He’s also had a long-standing side hustle as a grower of specialty stems like hellebores. And as a podcaster, he’s had many in-depth discussions with both florists and flower farmers. Scott recently interviewed me about regenerative farming for his own podcast. At the end of that chat, I asked him if I could switch seats with him, so to speak, and ask him so long burning questions I had about selling flowers through a traditional wholesaler. I don’t know about you, but it’s always felt a bit mysterious. Exactly how does one go about approaching a big wholesaler? What quantities do you need to bring to the table? What kind of prices could you get? What was supposed to be just a brief chat turned into a lengthy and very enlightening conversation I thought you’d all like to hear. In addition to this episode here on No-Till Flowers, you can catch another piece of my conversation with Scott on a new podcast I’m currently hosting called Floral Guild Radio. Yep, you read that right! There’s now a second podcast where you can hear me talk about flowers. Floral Guild Radio is much more geared towards the business side of flowers, particularly selling to florists. I’d love to have you tune in there too! As always, a big shout out to members of the Regenerative Flower Farmers Network who, through their membership, so generously support the making of this podcast! If you’re not a member but you’d like to join, it’s just $20 a year. Lots of detailed articles, podcast transcripts, and a community chat are available on RFFN. If you’ve ever had follow up questions to episodes here, that’s the place to go to ask! Many of you may be in hiring mode for your farms right now. I’d love to help you be less intimidate by hiring and find a better flow to managing a crew that doesn’t consume all your brain space and time. I have an online short course called CREW that is focused on the best practices of hiring, training, and managing farm crews. If this sounds like something you could use, head to the show notes to grab the link. Others of you may not be ready to hire, but could use a helping hand with decision making and trouble shooting this season. I host a monthly small group cohort for regenerative growers on RFFN and would be happy to field all your questions there. Look for the link to that in the show notes as well!
