    Encore: A History and Reflection on Emancipation with Tony Cohen
    2026/06/19
    This episode initially aired on June 19th, 2021We have a special bonus episode for you this week in celebration of our newest national holiday-- Juneteenth! Mary and Emma reunite with author, historian and farmer Tony Cohen for an exploration into the history of Juneteenth and the holiday’s complex folklore and origins. Tony takes us back in time to examine how this monumental declaration of freedom spread in a variety of ways depending on the geographic, economic and social landscape of the time.Mary, Emma and Tony pause to reflect upon what freedom means and looks like in the modern era and why society continues to resist a hard look at injustice. Tony points to how altering behavior can feel like giving up our own freedoms and comforts and reminds us that the fair trade movement has deeply historic roots. He also reflects upon the transition from enslavement to the tenant farming system and points to how that system affects us still today. The trio grapples with some hard truths about freedom itself and acknowledges the work still left to be done. Tony shares how he celebrates Juneteenth at Button Farm and rejoices in community as he reflects upon the precious ability to gather and take new found enthusiasm into the world.

  • 238. Food As Our Deepest Connection to Nature with Jill Demers of ReWild Ranch

    238. Food As Our Deepest Connection to Nature with Jill Demers of ReWild Ranch
    2026/06/06
    Jill Demers is the founder of ReWild Ranch in Montana, a one-of-a-kind regenerative farm, wellness destination, and educational space, rooted in the one question she's been asking for over two decades: Why are Americans so disconnected from their food — and at what cost? As a regenerative farmer and certified nutrition therapy practitioner, Jill has built ReWild as an answer to that question — a place where the farm is the center point, and guests leave changed in ways that they will never forget.This conversation is rich, wide-ranging, and deeply resonant with everything Lady Farmer stands for. It's also the kind of talk that makes you want to go outside and put your hands in the dirt.In this episode, you'll hear about:Mary's return to growing her own vegetables — tomatoes, seeds, and all — as she and Emma transition away from their longtime CSAEmma's reflections on joining a new CSA and what food rhythms look like in a young familyJill's origin story: childhood memories of fresh-shucked corn, a lifelong obsession with food and ecology, and graduate school research on the Dust BowlWhat ReWild Ranch is — a regenerative farm, glamping destination, and women's retreat space in the Bitterroot Valley of MontanaThe three ways guests can experience ReWild, from passive glamping to immersive hands-on workshops and women's retreatsHow Jill's son Alder's autism diagnosis became the catalyst for her deep dive into nutrition therapy — and how dietary and lifestyle changes led to the eventual loss of his clinical diagnosisThe Dust Bowl: what caused it, what it revealed about soil health and industrial agriculture, and why Jill argues we may be living through something even more catastrophic todayGlyphosate, the gut microbiome, and the parallel between soil health and human healthThe "60 harvests" statistic — where it comes from and what it means for the future of foodWhy Jill believes feeding the world is not America's job — and what a "checkerboard" model of small-scale agriculture could look like insteadThe concept of "accidental education" and why ReWild is designed to connect people to food, nature, and each other in ways they can't unlearnWendell Berry, John Steinbeck, and the long literary tradition of writing about humanity's relationship with the landThe genuine constraints of local, seasonal eating vs the cultural reality of a food system that allows almost limitless food choices — and how to navigate that without guilt or rigidityResources & Links Mentioned:ReWild Ranch — Jill's regenerative farm, glamping, and retreat space in MontanaKiss the Ground — documentary film on regenerative agriculture and soil healthThe Nature-Embedded Mind by Julia Plevin — mentioned by Mary; a psychotherapist's exploration of humanity's innate connection to natureZach Bush, MD — physician and researcher who speaks extensively on the shikimate pathway and glyphosate's effects on the microbiomeWendell Berry — essayist and farmer whose writing on agriculture and community Mary has been revisitingThe Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck — Jill's graduate thesis subject; discussed as an early work of ecological criticismMy Story as Told by Water by David James Duncan — mentioned by Jill as a formative readStay in touch & keep the conversation going:Have thoughts on this episode?
