Imagine transforming a small farm stall into a bustling hub for food security and sustainable agriculture. That's exactly what Franz Hahn and Hannah Flanders, two of the co-founders of the Kearsarge Food Hub in Bradford, New Hampshire, have achieved. Join us as Franz and Hannah share their inspiring journey from three college friends with a dream to establishing a market, café, and food pantry that revitalizes their local community. Their story is a powerful testament to the impact of dedication, collaboration, and community spirit.

"What if everything we are told is not true?" This profound question underpins the journey of an incredible group of young people who felt a calling to return to the land. They not only nurture produce from the soil but also build critical community infrastructure, challenging conventional wisdom along the way.

We delve into the significant contributions of women in agriculture with Hannah and Lauren, highlighting the importance of female leadership in this field. They share personal insights on the value of slowing down to enhance presence and productivity. Hannah opens up about her journey of intentionally creating balance between her professional and personal life, enriching her interactions with her young son. This discussion delves into the evolution from saying yes to every opportunity to recognizing the importance of self-care and setting boundaries to avoid burnout.

Finally, the episode reflects on broader themes of community-led sustainable agriculture movements, self-awareness, and intentional living. Franz and Hannah recount the challenges and triumphs of transitioning to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the crucial role of community feedback in their growth. We also touch on the power of trust, collaboration, and letting go of control to embrace the wisdom of nature. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of creating a food system and lifestyle that promotes healing, sustainability, and a vibrant future for all.

Tune in to learn about the power of showing up, what community truly means, and how local food and produce provide so much more than just nourishment. Discover how female leadership is shaping the future of sustainable agriculture and get inspired by the incredible story of the Kearsarge Food Hub.
