What happens when food starts coming from printers, laboratories, and corporations instead of farms?

In this episode, we dive into the rapidly changing food system, including 3D-printed foods, cultivated and cloned meat, and the growing divide between industrial food production and local food sovereignty.

We explore why real environmental stewardship starts at the local level, from advocating for backyard chickens and community food systems to supporting regenerative farming practices that actually restore the land.

Along the way, we discuss the difference between true sustainability and virtue signalling, the impact of centralized food production, the importance of critical thinking, and why getting involved in your municipality may be one of the most powerful things you can do for the future of your food.

As always, expect plenty of laughs, rabbit holes, and thought-provoking conversations from two women who aren’t afraid to ask uncomfortable questions.

Tune in and let us know: What do you think the future of food should look like?

Welcome back to The Black Sheep Podcast 🌱

In this episode, we share a spring farm update and chat about the realities of homestead life, stepping away from hustle culture, nervous system regulation, podcasting, seasonal food, chickens, lambs, seed starting, cold plunges, AI, and the summer offerings we’ve been creating behind the scenes.

A mix of real life, healing, humour, and everyday sovereignty from our farm to your home 🤍

This episode dives into the untold origin story of the Freedom Convoy through the voice of Bridget Belton, a cross-border trucker who claims she helped spark the movement long before it hit mainstream awareness. What starts as a conversation about trucking quickly turns into something deeper, a breakdown of what was happening behind the scenes, the chaos, the miscommunication, and the people who stepped in and took control.

Bridget shares what pushed her to the edge during COVID mandates, from border threats to personal trauma triggers, and how that pain turned into action. She walks through the early days of organizing, using TikTok to connect truckers across Canada, and the moment things began to shift once larger names and funding entered the picture.

This isn’t a polished narrative. It’s emotional, unfiltered, and at times uncomfortable. It raises questions about leadership, media narratives, control, and what really happens when a grassroots movement grows too fast.

If you think you know the story of the convoy, this conversation will challenge that.
