Cultivating Health, Happiness, and Community through Regenerative Agriculture

Body Literacy Podcast

Let us know what you think of this episode!

Molly Muchow and Hailey Schurr of Verdant Hollow Farms, a regenerative, multi species farm located in Southwest Michigan join us for this episode of the Body Literacy Podcast to discuss the role of regenerative agriculture in shaping health bodies, healthy families, healthy communities, and a healthy planet. Together with the farm’s owner and business partner, Susan Flynn, Molly, formerly a chef, created a vision of a place where people could gather to learn about the magic of nature and find peace in an often chaotic world. Molly brought her vision to life through her passion to create a healthy ecosystem on the farm through responsible animal care.
Hailey is an agroecologist and holds a master’s in conservation ecology from the University of Michigan. She believes in using science in service of the food sovereignty of her community. Her many diverse experiences including working in animal behavior and welfare, wildlife rehabilitation, ecophysiological research, and permaculture management have helped form her current approach to farming that emphasizes welfare focused husbandry, the use of diversity to build autonomous and resilient systems, and a commitment to social and ecological integration.
Today they share their insight and hands on experience with regenerative agriculture as a paradigm shift in farming and the food scene as a means to foster health for both the planet and all of its inhabitants, cultivate balanced and abundant ecosystems, connect with nature, and inspire connection between people and communities.
