Todd Ulizio shares his expertise as an organic farmer and scientist and (previously was a wildlife biologist) why it is critical for us to use regenerative no-till and organic farming practices (cover crops, crop rotation, etc.) for soil nutrient density to increase our health and the health of the environment.
The differences between big mono-crop agriculture and small organic farming are discusses as well as why big corporations like Monsanto are not after our best interest as consumers of food.
We also discuss how many grains and soy in the USA are grown as GMO crops with herbicides (round-up) and/or pesticides, which are neurotoxins, carcinogenic, endocrine disruptors, and have other detrimental effects on our health.
More about Todd and Rebecca Ulizio and their farm - Two Bear Farm in Whitefish, Montana:
“Two Bear Farm was created in response to changing circumstances and a shared vision of a better future for our community. The farm is a partnership between Ten Lakes Farm, owned and operated by Todd and Rebecca Ulizio, and Whitefish philanthropist Mike Goguen.
After 6 years of growing Certified Organic vegetables for the Flathead and Tobacco valleys, Ten Lakes Farm outgrew its location in Eureka and needed to find a new home. At the same time, Mike Goguen was looking for a way to keep land that neighbors his ranch in agricultural production, as well as continue his support for projects that enhance our community in Whitefish. By partnering in the farm business and moving to Whitefish, we have strengthened our ability to continue to grow fresh local produce for the valley, while at the same time providing a much better platform for stewarding the land and increasing our production. We are very excited about this opportunity!”
