On this week’s episode, Katie Steere of Wild Earth Farm joined us once again for a conversation about all things farm economies, the realities of winter for farmers, and the seasonality of all things in our world.
We started off the episode by exploring what it looks and feels like to listen to your body through honoring the seasons. Katie shares what farming has been like on her body and her energy and that taking winter as a season of deep self care is critical for sustainability throughout the year.
In this conversation, we ebbed and flowed through the differences between Katie’s corporate life and her farming life and what the seasonality of these seasons has brought. We then ventured into experimenting with different cadences of eating and how eating and listening are two acts that need to go together more often than we allow them to be. We talk about what it looks and feels like to be in your body and to be able to respond to what your body is asking of you.
We wrap up this episode by talking about the economics of a farm, and we break the idea that farmers can raise animals or grow vegetables and make a living off of that income. Katie shares with us the many variety of things that go into making a farm economy work.
Lastly, Katie shares with us how we can support farmers financially and economically from the systemic level and on the individual level.
So much packed into this soulful, honest, vulnerable conversation from one of The Soil Collective’s favorite farmers!
