Heron Breen is this episode's guest. Heron grows seed on six acres at Fruits of Our Labors in St. Albans, Maine. In this episode, Heron and I discussed the nature of seed work as a plant-based meditation that encompasses sculpture, art, science, and quantum physics, and the generational connection that seed provides across time and space. And then we pivot into talking about how to space seed crops and the reasons and importance of broader spacing before delving into what words like heirloom and open pollinated seeds really mean. In the deep dive, we talk about growing onions and leeks for seed.

Hey everyone, it's Alex Ball of Old City Acres back for another season and I'm so excited to bring you all new interviews with small farmers from all across the country and abroad. This season, we're going to dig deep at what it takes to survive as small -scale farmers, grow your business, and meet your individual farm business goals. We're launching my year off right with a very enlightening and uplifting interview with Jennifer Dunbar of Lovelight Farm in Birmingham, Alabama. We talk about farming in a tropical climate, working with local schools and community members, collaborating with other farmers on products and inputs, and much, much more.

I’m going to be real honest with you, I’ve been working hard lately. If you’re listening to this, I bet you’ve been working hard, too. Case in point, I JUST got our garlic in the ground in down here in zone 7, but better late than never I suppose.
So, I thought I’d seize this opportunity to bring back an old episode, the very FIRST episode of collaborative farm, actually, a conversation I had with Chris bonder of Close to Home Organics and Glen Valley Farm. This one still comes to mind as one of the best collab farm episodes ever and now that we’re reaching a wider audience, I wanted to give it the opportunity to reach more listeners. Chris is not only stellar farmer and a part of a cooperative farm framework, he’s extremely well versed in the history of modern farm cooperatives.
